best of beers
Sould you have acquired a basic knowledge of home brewing techniques, this book provides a variety of recipies that should tickle your lager loving pallette.

GREAT Reference!!
This is the 3rd reference by Charles Papazian that you should purchase. It is chock full of tips from experienced brewers along with the recipies. Being a new brewer, I only wish there were more pictures of some of the equipment. There are websites listed informing one of where to find ingredients and equipment.

Excellent addition to a homebrewer's library.
Ok, so some recipes are in need of adjustment, but the book is loaded with recipes and interesting brewer tips. It is simple, but it is not a step-by-step how-to. I suggest that this is good for the homebrewer that is ready to experiment and try new things and of course, the more experienced can tweak the recipe when and if needed. The beginning section touches on the framework for all the recipes provided, explaining the amount of water used, yeast type, batch quantity and more. Other than that, it's recipe after recipe and the occasional brewer's tip and back story on beer styles.

This is a fun book with a variety of recipes that will be enjoyed by any homebrewer. Those new to homebrewing will enjoy reading and making, but will be ready after some experience or the help of their local brew supply shop. I made a few and they came out quite well.

This is a good book to give as a gift or add to your library.
