Brewers: avoid this book!
26 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book as an experienced homebrewer interested in branching out (I also bought The Compleat Meadmaker, which is excellent and helpful). I was *sorely* disappointed. It has nothing of value to teach about brewing of hard ciders. It does have lots of Foxfire-type info on building a cider press, planting an orchard, choosing cultivars, etc. But there is no real guidance for fermenting cider beverages.
If you have a farm and want to press sweet cider, this would seem to be a good book. But if you are interested in "something a little harder," look elsewhere (wish I knew where!).

Not for the Amateur Home Brewer
1 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good book, but more for the orchardist who has apple trees and can make barrel quantities of cider. If you are a 5-10 gallon brewer, this book is not for you.

A beginners book!
11 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
I am a long time beer brewer, who suddenly decided to switch to cider.
This book starts with planting trees. I didnt want to wait that long.
I wanted recipes! The section on yeast was a real disapointment, it listed one yeast not to use. Elsewhere I have read of the debate over English Ale yeasts or Champagne yeasts. This was the info I wanted.
If you have NEVER brewed this is your book. If you have ever brewed and want to make a batch skip this one, get Paul Correnty's "Art of Cidermaking". Yes its out of print and runs nearly $50.00, but its worth it.
