Here are some homebrewing books that have been instrumental in helping me become a confident enough brewer to successfully deviate from recipes, and get creative with new additions.<\/p>\n

For new homebrewers<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Charlie Papazian’s The Complete Joy of Homebrewing<\/a> is a must-read primer. In simple to understand\u00a0language, Papazian walks you through the entire process of homebrewing, and gives you a solid foundation for brewing. There are also quite a few recipes included that are quite creative with additions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"How to Brew: Everything You Need To Know To Brew Beer Right The First Time<\/a> by John Palmer was also instrumental in my learning to homebrew. Palmer goes a bit more in to depth on the scientific reasonings behind things homebrewers do, and I still find myself reviewing things from this book.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Solid starter recipes<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew<\/a> by Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer has become my goto place for recipes I can trust. If I make a recipe from this book, and it doesn’t turn out well, I know I have no one to blame but myself. Each recipe will provide a solid base for whatever addition you want to add.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Designing your own recipes<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"Designing Great Beers: The Ultimate Guide to Brewing Classic Beer Styles<\/a> by Ray Daniels breaks down many styles, and using winning homebrew recipes, looks at what ingredients are needed to make a great beer. This book is definitely useful when designing your own recipe from the ground up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
