Randy Mosher author of The Brewers Companion says: At first glance, this would appear to be the kind of inexpensive brewing book designed to be tossed in with the beginning brewers kit of startup supplies. But Brewing Quality Beers is more like a serious brewing textbook with all but the most essential information stripped away." There should be no danger here of being intimidated by the complexity of brewing. This book lays it all out in a calm, hype-less manner. Whether you are a beginner who wants the basics in the clearest possible form, or someone who is just wondering what this homebrew thing is all about, Brewing Quality Beers is the book for you. 118 pages
