Review
"The Homebrewer's Garden is a natural marriage of two great hobbies..." -- Craig Bystrynski, Editor of Brew Your Own magazine

"The Homebrewer's Garden, is quite a timely book. Even if you are not a beer drinker (I'm not...), when you read recipes like those for "Mumm" and "Black Ale," made using herbs other than hops, or "Chili Beer" using hot Thai peppers, you may be itching to try brewing, if only to use as unique gifts." -- The Herbal Connection, Winter 1999

Customer Reviews

Opens new dimensions in brewing
The Fisher brothers have done home brewer's a great service with this book. As a life long brewer and author of The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible I give them my highest compliments and thanks for their research into ancient herbal brewing and their presentation of their material without a lot of technical jargon.

Wether you're a complete novice or a veteran brewer there's a lot to learn here from almost forgotten techniques and ingredients to growing and malting your own grains.

Well done

EXCELLENT!
Great book for the beginner. Even if you have never planted a simple garden, you cannot go wrong with this book. Very timely and explanatory - covers a range of subjects, including where to order hops, trelis construction, diseases, soil nutrients, and drying/using. Also includes techniques to grow herbs to use in brewing. A must read.

Excellent book if you want to learn how to grow your own hop
I bought this book to learn how to grow my own hops. It was very clear on different techniques and also has addresses of where to get some starter plants.
