Review on BeerBooks.com, December 2004This amazing monster-size book (600+ pages!) gives home brewers detailed ingredient information for more than 2000 commercial European beers. Many of these beers are no longer commercially brewed, so the only way to taste them now is to brew them at home. The Home Brewer’s Recipe Database also offers an interesting historical insight into the way some British brewers have adjusted their recipes and provides justification for breaking some brewing "rules" with your own creations. The book was first published in 2002, but re-issued by popular demand in 2004. |
Excerpt of review by K.Florian Kemp, All About Beer, September 2002Homebrewers will be amazed at how simple some beers are, and also to find out about some “secret” ingredient that otherwise might go undetected-knowledge that might just take your beer over the top. |
Excerpt of review by Clive La Pensée, Brewer’s Contact, October 2002A craft brewer’s greatest thrill is to brew a beer they remember but can no longer buy. It won’t be easy to recreate beers we know and love; ingredients and techniques evolve all the time. Les has given us a record of what we are aiming for, which will never be lost again. It is now up to us to do the rest. |
Comments by various home brewers“... a great asset to my small ’Brew Library’.”, Colin Quinn “... your book is great.”, Ben Eakin “Have been brewing lots recently and have used the formula from your book to calculate the malt bill and the alpha acid content to good effect.”, John McGarva, owner and brewer of Tryst Brewery. |
