 Great book for the Starting Home Brewer November 19, 2009
Shawn Keith Wood (Saint Leonard, Maryland USA)
This is a great book and reference for anyone wanting to learn to bre beer. Charlie's laid back proze makes it easy for anyone to get started in brewing beer. Jim Koch endorsed this book and it came with my beer kit from beer wine hobby of MA. I would reccomend this book to anyone wanting to get started in brewing their own beer.
A must have for new homebrewers November 14, 2009
R. Weber
Charlie Papzian's book is the first step for those planning to start homebrewing. Papazian gathers all the information you need to get off the ground without bogging you down in technical details.
For those interested in intermediate to advanced homebrewing, this is not the book for you, but for beginners this book is nearly essential.
I started with this book and within 6 months I was doing all-grain brewing. This book is accessible without being short of information. I highly recommend this book.
pages are worn & stained by ingredients--after 6 years & a few ribbons always read first October 19, 2009
Canoeist (Phoenix, AZ USA)
I have had this book for more than 6 years. I got it with a birthday present of a home brew kit. Have been brewing beer & winning ribbons the last 4 years. I have pages marked that I refer to completely. This book has so much GREAT & Useful well-organized information. The charts are well layed out make for great references. The pages are worn & some wort spilled on the Specific Gravity charts. You will actually use the book again & again. Would highly recommend to the the beginner & intermediate person.
Perfect Place to Start ...and end September 20, 2009
Steve Foster (Charlotte, NC)
First off, you are brewing -- approach it with a touch of humor and joy! This book does that wonderfully. When I started, I read this cover to cover and LOVED the descriptions, the insight, the simplicity, and the information. Now as a seasoned home-brewer, this is now a spectactular reference book. As I discover NEW things to try (Flanders? -- Check! Lambic? -- there too!) I realize, truly, what a depth of knowledge is included in this tome. Honestly, besides the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, this is the book I have read more than any other -- if you are brewing, please please please start here. There are others that will get you making beer and/or wine that is too hoppy/simplistic respectively. Stand on the back of Giants instead, read this, experiment -- and make (wonderful!) mistakes, and you will not be dissapointed. If you want a simple recipe book, a "Color by number" brewing tome ...this is not your book as it has TOO much information to dig through for you.
 Good book, slightly disorganized September 4, 2009
J. Brokaw (Ellensburg, WA)
If you're brewing for the first time, this book contains everything you need to know to make good beer. If you're an experienced brewer, you may find it hard to quickly look up certain information in this book, which is a pain in the neck. For example, this book contains many recipes, spread throughout the book based on technique used to brew the beer -- but the recipes aren't in the index.
