Review
"The Homebrewer's Garden is a natural marriage of two great hobbies..." -- Craig Bystrynski, Editor of Brew Your Own magazine
"The Homebrewer's Garden, is quite a timely book. Even if you are not a beer drinker (I'm not...), when you read recipes like those for "Mumm" and "Black Ale," made using herbs other than hops, or "Chili Beer" using hot Thai peppers, you may be itching to try brewing, if only to use as unique gifts." -- The Herbal Connection, Winter 1999
