Have you ever found yourself doing less and less homebrewing, or
being too intimidated to take up the brewing to begin with? Let
Drew Beechum and Denny Conn help you brew the best possible beer
with less work and more fun! Simple Homebrewing simplifies the
complicated steps for making beer and returns brewing to its
fundamentals. Explore easy techniques for harnessing water, malted
barley, hops, and yeast (along with a few odd co-stars) to create
beer. Pick up tips and tricks for a range of brewing challenges
like adjusting your brewing liquor, working with adjunct
ingredients, controlling fermentation, and brewing wild beers. The
authors guide you from extract brewing to all-grain batches and
explain the simple philosophy of recipe design and small-batch
brewing. Learn how to evaluate different types of malt and hops by
tasting, crushing, and steeping them, and use this to build your
flavor vocabulary. Denny and Drew also share ideas on how to make
technology work for you by taking a look at brewing gadgets, from
fancy fermentation jackets and expensive (but convenient)
all-in-one “robot” brewing systems, to bucket heaters, swamp
coolers and do-it-yourself PID controllers made from inexpensive
and commonly available microprocessors. Drew and Denny’s mantra
is “Brew the best beer possible, with the least effort possible,
while having the most fun possible.” Throughout, the focus is on
helping you develop a simple, thoughtful process to make
homebrewing more accessible and enjoyable. Wisdom is imparted in
tones both reassuring and amusing, and the basics are broken down
into easily remembered chunks. The authors also feature interviews
with an eclectic group of brewers from the Americas, who add their
own take on the brewing process and how they have made it work for
them. Get a feel for recipe design by looking at a few handy
templates for Pilsner, pale ale, IPA, double IPA, stout, tripel,
and saison; or try your own bottom-up or top-down approach after
reading Denny and Drew’s advice. Along the way you will find over
40 recipes, ranging from the simplest of pale ales, American
lagers, tried and tested altbier recipes, and delicious rye IPAs,
to Old and New World barleywine, quick tripels, Scotch ale mashed
overnight, king cake ale, purple corn beer, and Catherina sour.
Marvel at how mushrooms can be used in beer and tremble at the
thought of a bourbon barrel–aged barleywine made with ghost
pepper. Even experienced homebrewers can learn from this dynamic
duo, as Simple Homebrewing features expert advice for brewers of
all levels.
