Guide to Craft Brewing

Author: John Alexander

A guide to Craft Brewing explains how to brew your own beer in clear and straightforward terms, making this popular and rewarding hobby accessible to all. This practical book covers twenty-eight types of malts, thirty-one adjuncts and thirty-three hops, and includes how to treat water to match a beer type and yeast necessary to create your own unique beer style. It explains each step for the novice with tips and advice, but also includes advanced techniques and ideas for the more experienced home brewer.

John Alexander supped his first pint of home-brewed beer in 1970 and was hooked. He readily mastered the techniques involved in brewing with malt extract and cereals, and quickly moved on to mashing, brewing wholly from malt and adjuncts. He has also specialized in 'beer from the wood' since 1979 and this has helped him perfect the real ale recipes included in this book.
