"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.
Beer and Society: How We Make Beer and Beer Makes Us takes readers
on a lively journey through the social, cultural, and economic
dimensions of the modern beer world. This book illustrates that
beer is far more than a beverage. As a finely-crafted cultural
product, beer can be a part of our identity, a source of pleasure
and camaraderie, an object of connoisseurship, and a livelihood for
those who are behind the beer itself. Drawing on leading
sociological and psychological perspectives, the authors argue that
our enduring relationship with beer reflects the very roots of our
society, including its collective values and norms, power
structures, and persistent inequities based on race, gender,
sexuality, and social class. Beer and Society explores beer as an
embodiment of who we are and a force to energize social change.
Vienna, a product of the German Brewing Revolution, is a sweet,
malty lager and a satisfying brew. This is a well-researched
profile of an enjoyable beer style to both drink and brew.
