Book Description
The Beer Renaissance is in full swing, and home brewing has never been more popular. According to the American Homebrewers Association, there are currently 1.2 million home brewers in the country, and their numbers keep rising. Tired of the stale ale, bland beer and lackadaisical lagers mass-produced by the commercial labels, Americans are discovering the many advantages of brewing their own batch of that beloved beverage: superior aroma, color, body and flavor.
For both amateur alchemists eager to tap into this burgeoning field and seasoned zymurgists looking to improve their brews, The Brewmaster's Bible is the ultimate resource. Its features include: Updated data on liquid yeasts, which have become a hot topic for brewers; 30 recipes in each of the classic beer styles of Germany, Belgium, Britain and the U.S.; extensive profiles of grains, malts, adjuncts, additives and sanitizers; recipe formulation charts in an easy-to-read spreadsheet format; detailed water analyses for more than 25 cities and 6 bottled waters; directories to hundreds of shops; and much more.
About the Author
Stephen Snyder is a contributor to America's largest beer newspaper, Ale Street News. He lives in Perkinsville, VT.

Complete Reference Material,

This review is from: The Brewmaster's Bible: The Gold Standard for Homebrewers (Paperback)
This book goes into every aspect of brewing, giving fantastic reference charts for hops, yeasts, beer styles, grains, carbonation, etc. I refer to this book every time I brew. This is not some lame homebrewing recipe book, that are a dime a dozen. This is the only book I use over and over-- the rest of my books gather dust on the shelf.

Superb Reference!,
By James C. Healy (Omaha, NE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Brewmaster's Bible: The Gold Standard for Homebrewers (Paperback)
An excellent reference. I haven't worked up to all-grain yet, but the wealth of information on yeasts, hops, styles, adjuncts, you name it, is golden! The recipes are, in my opinion, nearly useless as they seem to be culled from can labels and extract kits, have bad advice (as someone has already noted) that directly contradict Snyder's instructions, and often have bizarre or proprietary items in the list of ingredients. Marty Nachel's Dummies recipies are much better. Actually, the two books complement each other nicely.Best part of the book: the table of style components. Very handy for constructing a recipe; grain, extracts, water, yeast. Fabulous!

By A Customer
This review is from: The Brewmaster's Bible: The Gold Standard for Homebrewers (Paperback)
I use this book as a guide to develop my own recipes for home brews. It has enormous amount of information in all areas for making home brew. It is a good book to have as a reference.
