For the technical side of brewing this book covers what you need to know! I also have the "complete joy of homebrewing" which is also a great book and lot of fun to read, but to be honest it is not as up to date as this book. I recommend this book together with "designing great beer" - with this set you'll be able to brew the most common types of beer with very good results.

The title really does say it all with this book!
I've been brewing for a few years now, and upon getting this book my beers have leapt forward from being usually OK (but still very obviously homebrewed), to being beers that I would be happy to receive in a pub or beer festival...honestly!
This book contains just about everything you could need for any stage in your brewing life. Everything from the beginner's standard 'can and kilo' brews, right up to full grain and everything in between.
Ingredients, methodology, techniques, equipment, recipes - its all here.
(My only slight criticism is that it is doesn't contain details on 'kegging' your beer, but this is really fairly simple and info can be easily found online for this if you wish.)
Basically this is the only beer homebrew book you will need - I highly recommend it!

This book really is the beer homebrewers bible but the sheer volume of complex (to a new person) information could scare off.
Suggest don't buy the book quite yet - just buy a brewkit with the money instead, get the bug to take it to "real" brewing and THEN buy this book!
