5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS ONE! - takes you from never-ever to advanced, 28 July 1999
By A Customer
I have a whopping 2.5 gals of surprisingly good brew in my logbook (that makes me a rank beginner, folks!). I bought this book because I wanted to improve my techniques and make better (but not necessarily more complex) beers. This book never let me down - it has everything and seems best suited for the beginner to novice brewers (because 99% of intermediate to advanced brewers have already read it!). This book is divided into 3 sections - beginner (all extract), intermediate (extract plus specialty grains), and advnced (all-grain). However, this doesn't completely describe the layout of the book. For instance, Papazian talks about brewing techniques and components of beer (and how they interact) in EACH section, but he delves deeper and deeper with each progressive section. Thus, he unravels the mysteries of beer at a comfortable pace and only to the degree to which the reader cares to explore. But perhaps the thing that makes Papazian's books so beloved by homebrewers is the perfect balance between technique and fun! Even when describing the most technical subject, Papazian never disguises his enthusiasm for and love of homebrewing. He never forgets to remind his readers to ENJOY what they're doing - no matter how technical it may be (oh, and Papazian is exceptionally knowledgeable about homebrewing). Papazian's enthusiasm has rubbed off on me and has ignited my curiosity. I recommend this book to ALL homebrewers who have not already read it. To those who are curious about homebrewing, look no further - BUY THIS BOOK! It's worth it. This is nearly unanimously THE best general treatise on the FUN of homebrewing! Try some of the recipes he includes - I did!

Relax... Don't Worry... Have a Homebrew!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for ANY homebrewer!, 11 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This book was one of the first things I bought when I started homebrewing. It was recommended to me as the best book for beginners. I agree totally. It's a must have for experienced brewers as well. The simple step by step instructions make it seem "Fool Proof." The book is good for reading straight through or searching for a specific answer when your in the midst of brewing a batch of beer. I found the section on kegging procedures and equipment helpful. There are also chapters of this books that focus on specific topics such as: Hops, Water, Yeast, Fermentation, and Sanitation. There are also chapters on intermidiate techniques and advamnced recipe theory as well. This is not the ONLY brewing book you should own, but I think it's the best one currently out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beginner's Guide to Brewing Beer, 13 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This was the first book that I purchased on the subject of homebrewing. I met Charlie Papazian at a local bookstore and he signed my book with his favorite phrase "Relax..Don't Worry..Have a Homebrew". This book is well organized and is wriiten in an entertaining style. It is the perfect book for the beginner. It details, step-by-step, the basic instructions for brewing your first batch of beer. It also has sperate sections for intermediate and advanced homebrewing. An individual can find an answer to practically any question that he/she might have on the subject of brewing beer somewhere in this book. Among all the the books that I have on the subject of homebrewing, this is the one that I turn to most frequently. Papazian's writing style keeps the subject of brewing interesting from start to finish.
