"How to brew, ferment and enjoy world-class beers at home."
Making beer at home is as easy as making soup George Hummel
smoothly guides the reader through the process of creating a base
to which the homebrewer can apply a myriad of intriguing
flavorings, such as fruits, spices and even smoke. There are also
outstanding and easy recipes for delicious meads, tasty ciders and
great sodas -- all of which can be made in a home kitchen and with
minimal equipment.
Using Hummel's easy-to-follow instructions and thorough analysis
of the flavor components of beer, a novice homebrewer can design
recipes and make beers to suit any taste or craving. Knowing
exactly what's in a beer has additional benefits -- homebrewers can
easily avoid the chemical additives traditionally found in
mass-produced commercial beers. As an added bonus, the recipes are
categorized according to their degree of difficulty, so new brewers
can find the recipes that match their comfort level and then easily
progress onto new skills.
These 200 tantalizing beer recipes draw their inspiration from
the Americas and around the world. They include: Irish amber
American/Texas brown California blonde Bavarian hefeweizen
Multi-grain stout Imperial pilsner Pre-Prohibition lager Golden ale
Scottish 60 shilling Belgium dubble German bock Raspberry weizen
Vanilla cream stout Flemish red & brown Standard dry sparkling
mead
There is also a comprehensive glossary that virtually
guarantees readers will find answers to every question about
ingredients and equipment. Packed with practical advice and
effectively designed, "The Complete Homebrew Beer Book" is like
having a personal brewmaster overseeing and guiding each
creation.
Meet Pete Brown: beer jounalist, beer drinker and author of an
irreverent book about British beer, Man Walks Into A Pub. One day,
Pete's world is rocked when he discovers several countries produce,
consume and celebrate beer far more than we do. The Germans claim
they make the best beer in the world, the Australians consider its
consumption a patriotic duty, the Spanish regard lager as a trendy
youth drink and the Japanese have built a skyscrapter in the shape
of a foaming glass of their favourite brew. At home, meanwhile,
people seem to be turning their back on the great British pint.
What's going on? Obviously, the only way to find out was to on the
biggest pub crawl ever. Drinking in more than three hundred bars,
in twenty-seven towns, in thirteen different countries, on four
different continents, Pete puts on a stone in weight and does
irrecoverable damage to his health in the pursuit of saloon-bar
enlightenment. 'A fine book. . . the exact tone that a work on this
social drug requires.' The Times 'Over 300 bars later and the man
still manages to make you laugh.' Daily Mirror 'Carlsberg don't
publish books. But if they did, they would probably come up with
Three Sheets to the Wind...' Metro 'A marvellous book which is as
enlightening about the countries he visited as any travel guide.'
