Title: Books
Post by: jackflash on November 19, 2014, 02:57:56 PM
The wife is looking to buy me something for Christmas. I was thinking a good brewing how-to book. I have the dummies guide and brewing up a business. I'm only new to this, any suggestions?

One I found useful was - "Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew"

http://www.amazon.com/Brewing-Classic-Styles-Winning-Recipes/dp/0937381926

I've also got "CloneBrews: Recipes for 200 Brand-Name Beers". Although I found the instructions a bit sparse, it does give a good history of each beer, and a run down of how to create your own clone beers.

I found John Palmers book to be good. There is an online copy of this, but hardcopy is better and updated.

The online version of palmers book is at http://www.howtobrew.com/ (http://www.howtobrew.com/)  I found it very useful aswell. And it will give you something to read while you're waiting for deliveries.
