A must but a bit dated - Rated
I mostly agree with what the other two reviewers have said of this book, but I also agree with the comments on the US site, amazon.com.
This book is a must for every advanced homebrewer and contains a wealth of information, including things I didn't know and never read in other more modern brew books.
However, the book is by no means complete, uses methods and equipment which are out-dated and much more difficult than those used today AND is certainly not for the beginner! For the beginner, the best book I have come across is the Joy of Brewing by Papazian.
Granted the edition I recently bought was published in 1982, Dave Line was a true homebrew pioneer who should not be forgotten.
A great start - Rated
This book should be on every home brewers shelf. Starting from a basic first brew, this book lays out the mashing process in simple terms. The personal views, trials and tribulations of the author in his own brewing experimentation are expressed, as well as more accepted and familiar brewing methods. While this book will get you up and brewing, it also contains more of the interesting theoretical information behind malts, sugars and hops, enabling you to personalise your beer making and experiment on your own. Watch out for wild hops and hairdriers.
No excuses not to have this book. - Rated
I found this book very helpful as it contains a wealth of information on the subject of home brewing with all-grain ingredients, it is simply jam packed full of information on the subject and describes the processes and techniques in language that the amateur can understand - not to say that it is only for amateurs. This book represents value for money and can save you a lot of wasted time and effort.
