More great advice from Charlie Papazian, homebrew master and author of the bestselling The Complete Joy of Homebrewing.

"Many ask me, 'What's different about The Homebrewer's Companion?' It's a book that I might have titled The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, Volume 2. The information is 98 percent new information, including improved procedures for beginning and malt-extract brewers as well as advanced and veteran brewers. There are loads of new recipes and useful charts and data that I continually refer to in my own homebrew recipe formulation (I still homebrew about 20 batches a year). My theme throughout is 'Keep it practical. Keep it useful.' I wanted to answer 10 years' worth of questions in this one volume. I did ... and I had fun doing it."

Suid-Afrika se Mnr. Pinotage, Beyers Truter, se passie vir die lewe en wyn is oral bekend. In hierdie boek kyk hy terug op sy eerste treë as wynmaker van Kanonkop, asook die deftige funksie in Londen toe hy in 1991 as Wynmaker van die Wêreld aangewys is.

Hy vertel ook van die vlammetjie wat altyd in hom gebrand het om op sy eie plaas wyn te maak en die groot oomblik van Beyerskloof se eerste oes. Sy lewensreis as eienaar en wynmaker van Beyerskloof is een van vriendskap, nederigheid en lojaliteit. Die bekende ou skrywer van cowboy-boeke Louis L'Amour se betekenis van traildust was nog altyd vir hom 'n rigsnoer in sy lewe as wynmaker, ouer en vriend.

Beyers sien altyd die humor in situasies raak en dis een van die redes hoekom hy die wyntoere so baie geniet het saam met Jannie Engelbrecht, Jan-Boland Coetzee, Kevin Arnold en Johan Malan. Hy het ook 'n lang paadjie geloop met die bekende Etzebeth-rugbybroers, asook Koos Kombuis. Hy deel ook sy liefde vir sy honde, duik, seekos en Namibië.
