The Original and still one of the best!
|
I brought my first copy sometime in the early 80's. It served as the perfect companion when moved from kit beers to all grain brewing.
Although it is now widely recognised that the recipes do need some adjustment with todays better quality ingredients, it was one of a kind in those early days of homebrewing. I've probably made over 20 of the ales in the book over the years and still use it as a recipe formulation guide. Yes, my original copy is still use but very tatty and wort stained!

Great

This book is great. It contains a wide range of recipes that are easy to follow from traditional ales to continental lagers. There is also a section on the mashing process so you can brush up your skills. An excellent book for the beginner and expert alike.

old beers

The book is very old and most of the all grain recipes are seriosly flawed if not impossible. According to Graham Wheeler they need a 95% extraction rate only possible in a lab. Buy the CAMRA books instead.

best homebrew recipe book i've read and used
|
|
Dave Line offers a comprehensive list of of recipes for commercial beers. Having tried many of his suggestions i have not always found his recipes to be entirely accurate but all of them give a tasty beer that all homebrewers will enjoy
