"Have you ever thought about making your own beer but not know how to start? Ted Bruning's beautifully illustrated Wisdom for Home Brewers is packed with over 500 tips on everything from choosing the right equipment to creating your own signature taste." 

(CSMA Club)

"If you are a home brewer who has outgrown the bucket in the airing cupboard, but not quite ready for hiring out a unit on an industrial estate, then this book is for you. The writers are certainly authorities when it comes to beer and brewing, with Bruning a former editor of CAMRA magazine What's Brewing, while Sadler runs Essex-based Wibblers Brewery. Offering logical steps in brewing, it starts with the suggestion that you try various beers and think hard before buying any equipment and gives several options of what cleaning products to use, before you even get to a choice of malts, hops and how to 'Burtonise' your water or liquor as they call it in the trade. There's plenty on troubleshootingand the closing chapter offers recipes on traditional British beers and continental styles. The only part of the book that I didn't like is the section marked 'other flavours', which talks about the use of herbs, spices, honey and whatever else that should have ceased being added to beer by the end of the Middle Ages."

Reseña del editor:

Prosperity in the 1980s and 90s almost killed home brewing. Many specialist stores closed and national chains stopped stocking the requisite equipment and materials. Even though times are now harder, home brewing for reasons of thrift has not recovered. Home brewing is resurgent, however, for a different reason. Beer-drinkers today are a much more sophisticated and demanding bunch than they used to be. The number of craft and microbreweries has soared, presenting modern beer-drinkers with a range of styles and varieties that their parents wouldn’t even have heard of. At the same time, thousands of beer-lovers make regular pilgrimages to Belgium and Germany, where they have discovered an exotic brewing tradition as diverse as our own.

For these people, standard mass-produced lager is no longer even nearly enough, and what bars and superstores can’t or won’t supply, they take pride in making for themselves. Thrift no longer enters into it; home brewing has become, like cookery, a field in which discening consumers can take control of the quality of their lives by satisfying their own demands. Belgian abbey beers, old ales, barley wines, Märzenbiers, bocks, honey beers, fruit beers―there’s no style the new foodies of home brewing won’t attempt and can’t perfect.

Wisdom for home Brewers is the book for beer-lovers who want better than they can buy and are prepared to go to some trouble to get it. It combines all the practical instruction the absolute beginner will need with more detailed, abstruse, and even a little surprising information for those who’ve been at it for years, all shot through with the lore and love of beer and brewing.
