Summary: Great for beginners!
Comment: This is a fantastic guide to homebrewing! Easy to understand and oraganized very well. My first batch was an unqualified success! More advanced brewers will doubtless want a more detailed reference but with all the recipies and ideas contained in this book I'll be happy and brewing for quite some time.

Summary: Great brewing guide
Comment: This book addresses all aspects of homebrewing that the beginning homebrewer might encounter. It details the equipment that is needed for the novice homebrewer through the advanced needs of a brewmaster. Many recipes are provided as well as Internet links. A step by step guide on how to brew a batch of beer is given for the beginner, intermediate and advanced homebrewer. This is particularily nice.

Summary: Cutesy, condecending and not for the beginner
Comment: I didn't like this book at all. It follows the condescending style of being cutesy, belittling kit beer making and contradicting manufacturers' guide lines without explanation.
A good example is the "Beginning Brew Instructions". It tells me not to follow the beer kit's directions and follow the ones in the book. It says that manufacturers "disregard the need for the boiling procedures" and (incorrectly) recommend adding sugar. No explanation is given expect for the condescending token of "Just follow the brewing guidelines in chapter 11 and you'll do fine." I have however noticed on the beer manufacturers' web sites that they say not to boil the wort because it removes volatiles that give beer flavour and that the technology uses means that boiling is no longer required. Anyone silly enough to follow the authors instructions will have to fork out another $30 to buy a pot so they can boil the wort and spend an additional $10 buying 2 beers kits instead of one.
Far from encouraging beginners, it confuses and makes it more expensive.
