How to Brew: Everything You Need to Know to Brew Beer Right for the First Time
This is a review about the book: How to brew: Everything you need to know to brew beer right for the first time.
This is a great book for beginners, if your into home brewing malt beer.
It is for someone who is about to start brewing or you have just started brewing, it will give you an insight to the art of brewing as a hobby, right from the equipment and ingredients you need to buy as a starter to the hobby.
The book structure works as a guide, it gives you simple summaries and an overview of the process, then it allows you to dip into more detailed sections of the book to find out more about each step in the brewing process.
If your new to brewing , it is great to get this book before you spend money buying all your equipment, because it details the basics of what equipment to get, once you get the hang of it you can start investing in more equipment.
much like this blog, I have some great articles on home brewing which you will find interesting and helpful.
The first sections of the book are the most helpful, because it guides you through the important parts needed for home brewing.
What is not so good about this book is that you can get a bit bogged down in information if you read it from cover to cover right through, it is best read as something to refer to.
It can be a bit much because there are quite a lot of scientific explanations.
Things i like especially, It not only tells you how to make a good brew, it also tells you how to enjoy it, which is a big bonus.
Kindle review
Very well laid out book, it has a good helpful tips that make the book easy top understand. In the book the author refers to you to go back to certain pages in the book, which is hard to do reading it on the kindle so a hard back copy would be easier.
Its a good read on the kindle but the best way to use this book is to have it in print form so you can refer back to different pages.
Experienced Brewers
If you've been out of the brewing game for a while this book is a great refresher because it gives the information in plain english, its very easy to understand.
A great way to pick up some tips if your already a seasoned brewer.
If your an advanced brewer there is not much in there for you in terms of techniques , but it is an enjoyable read.
Top Tip
If your new to brewing , it is great to get this book before you spend money buying all your equipment, because it details the basics of what equipment to get, once you get the hang of it you can start investing in more equipment.
Have a look inside this book
For European buyers
It quite good for the recipes, although they are all in American measurements, techniques to brew American style beer but you will find some European recipes.
