This book should be the second book you should be buying after Complete joy of home brewing or Homebrewing for dummies. Il full of great ideas hundreds of tips for ingredients, crazy or very easy to do receipe, historical and knowlegebale facts that all help you to brew better by inspiring you. If you have already brewed a few batch and are ready to include partial mash (Extrat+grain for flavor) in your procedure,buy this guide right now, as it will bring you infinite possibility to your beers with incitefull knowledge of a true wiseman of Homebrewing.

It's a good book but I prefered the Complete joy of home brewing. Both have good recipes and usefull informations. Some will tell you that this one is better but this is my opinion.

I agree with Michael Jackson's assessment that Randy Mosher is a homebrewing genius. I've known Randy for 15 years and learned more from him than any other brewer I know. Now he has put a big chunk of that knowledge into a book that wanders through the history of beer challenging our assumptions about what beer is and how we should go about brewing it. What a fun book! How it makes me want to run into the brewery and start creating new beers. What a genius!

Randy Mosher writes engagingly; but frankly,if you've read books by Korzonas, Palmer, and yeah, Papazian- you have the brewing techniques discussed in Radical Brewing. Where Mr. Mosher excels is his descriptions of ingredients, and quantities. I am delighted by the recipes and can't wait 'til the weekend to brew up one or two (black pepper in beer! Yes!). Overall, I'd say this is a great book for any brewer's library; not a "My First Brew Book", but certainly should be on your shelf with Mosher's other book. And Palmer, and Korzonas...okay, okay, and Papazian.
