Book description
A Guide to Craft Brewing explains how to brew your own beer in
clear and straightforward terms, making this popular and rewarding
hobby accessible to all. This practical book covers twenty-eight types
of malts, thirty-one adjuncts and thirty-three hops, and includes how
to treat water to match a beer type and yeast necessary to create your
own unique style. It explains each step for the novice with tips and
advice, but also includes advanced techniques and ideas for the more
experienced home brewer.
John Alexander supped his first pint of home-brewed beer in 1970 and
was hooked. He readily mastered the techniques involved in brewing with
malt extract and cereals, and quickly moved on to mashing, brewing
wholly from malt and adjuncts. He has also specialised in 'beer from the
wood' since 1979 and has perfected the real ale recipes included in this
book. Resident: Dundee
