Brewing

This book does a great job examining deeper than most book that tend to brush over topics. It is very advanced so keep in mind that you should have a chemistry, biology or similar background to understand the information provided. I would not recommend purchasing this book if you do not have such a background because you will likely feel lost. The book will break down each process of brewing and provide an explanation of what is happening with the chemistry and biology of the grain, wort, mash, etc. This knowledge can be very useful in understanding how to adjust your brews and correct possible errors. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about brewing. Cheers!

I picked this book up to help with homebrewing. The chemical processes it describes are a great introduction into the biochemistry of what happens during the brewing process. It is more detailed than Papazian and some of the others. The book is black and white, and also discusses a lot of the processes micro and macro breweries use during brewing. If want to improve your level of brewing knowledge, pick up this book. If you want to get your feet wet, look else where.Worth the price, no regrets.

This is the most in depth brewing book I've read. It doesn't even get into the brewing process until the second unit. The entire first part of the book is about things like water chemistry and microbiology relating to sanitation. This type of in depth, scientific content is exactly what I was looking for when I bought this book. This isn't for a brew by the seat of your pants homebrewer, but for anyone who wants to get more serious, this is a great book.

If you are a brand new homebrewer, do NOT buy this book. Unless you have a science background or you are going into the brewing industry, you will not benefit from this book.Okay, so the people left are those that do have a science background. This book speaks of many great brewing topics like malting biochemistry, yeast genetics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and more. If you're a science and brewing nerd like me, buy this book. You will not regret it!

Awesome book, very informative! I had to buy for a class, but will definitely keep it forever!! It came in great packaging and was in perfect quality!!

Decent book on how to brew. Very scientific and detailed, which I like. Can get a bit boring at times, but I think its' purpose is to give the homebrewer the chemistry behind brewing beer to help make better beer. The section on brewing water was the most useful to me because it's not obvious that starting with the correct water chemistry will produce a mjuch better beer in the end. It's surprising how much water can affect the final flavor profile of the beer.This book is very well written and I would recommend it to any seasoned homebrewer looking to hone their skills, and even the novice looking for a better understanding of the process in detail from start to finish.

I bought this for my brewing class as the required text. Amazon had the cheapest price around - better than the bookstore and they had a kindle edition. A great buy and convenient.

The information in this book is fantastically useful for learning about brewing, especially if you have somewhat of a scientific background already. However, the binding on the book has started to fall apart on me already.

This book is among the best on the subject. If you are to embark as a brewing student an excellent first read. Similarly if you are a home brewer wanting to know more of the science the big boys use, this is the first book to choose before reading more advanced ones.

Excelente libro, comprende la química pura de las reacciones que suceden durante el proceso de elaboración de la cerveza. Te hace comprender el porque.

very useful

It's a text book, but should be read by anyone interested in the science of brewing.
