the big book of brewing the big book of brewing
David Line

This is the book for any really enthusiastic and ambitious brewer... the person who wants to brew high quality "true" beers that were long thought beyond the ability of the amateur. 'The Big Book of Brewing' brings to beginners and experts alike a simple method of "mashing" for producing the finest flavoured beers, ales, stouts and lagers from all-grain ingredients, just like the professionals do. It is simply the most advanced and comprehensive book on the subject for the amateur. If you have hesitated to try mashing because you thought it was too difficult, this book will explain how easy it really is. Dave Line makes the concepts understandable and describes all the necessary equipment you will need to succeed. The author uses his practical experience at home brewing, his training as an electrical engineer and his outstanding sense of humour to shed new light on the topic of making beer from all-grain. 254pp
