More great advice from Charlie Papazian, homebrew master and author of the bestselling The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. "Many ask me, 'What's different about The Homebrewer's Companion?' It's a book that I might have titled The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, Volume 2. The information is 98 percent new information, including improved procedures for beginning and malt-extract brewers as well as advanced and veteran brewers. There are loads of new recipes and useful charts and data that I continually refer to in my own homebrew recipe formulation (I still homebrew about 20 batches a year). My theme throughout is 'Keep it practical. Keep it useful.' I wanted to answer 10 years' worth of questions in this one volume. I did ... and I had fun doing it." -- Charlie Papazian Get the Most from Your Malt! - Easy-to-follow techniques and trouble-shooting tips
- Answers to the most-often asked questions
- A guide to world beer styles
- Useful facts on fermenting, yeast culturing and stove-top boiling
- Charts, tables, support information and much, much more
- Over 60 exotic recipes to try -- from "You'll See" Coriander Amber Ale to Waialeale Chablis Mead
Make sure to check out the third edition of The Complete Joy of Homebrewing.

Summary: Papazian is the best
Comment: If your happy just doing kits and not really caring about all the extra little things you could be doing or the in depth process of beer making then you might not want this book.
It is however an excellent book to get if you love making beer and like to learn all about it. Lots of information. Extra things you can do to make a good beer, great.

Summary: Absolutely Crucial
Comment: I have read "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" and was extremely impressed with it and was equally impressed with this book. It is more in depth and detailed than the previous and covers more issues. Highly recommend it.

Summary: Great stuff
Comment: Excellent follow-up to the Joy of Homebrewing. Learned quite a few things that have saved me a lot of headaches during the brewing process.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a MUST...
Comment: I agree with some of the other readers that this book is not as entertaining to read as "The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing." Papazian's wittiness, which was fun and comfortable in his first book, now comes off as sharp sarcasm (ex. "if you haven't figured that out by now, maybe you're relaxing a bit too much"). However, you're probably not reading this because you're looking for an entertaining read. If you're like me, you want a book that's more in-depth, that'll fulfill your need to become more involved in brewing than you once were. Well, all in all, if that's what you're looking for, you may find that you use this book less than you expected. It has very good information for those who are getting into such things as filtration and artificial carbonation. There is also pretty detailed information on ions in water and their effects. However, the mathematical information presented is somewhat incomplete, and therefore hard to use with this book alone. If you are a beginner, this book is certainly not for you. Get "The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing" (by Papazian) instead, as it will guide you through an unbelievable range of brewing skill levels. If you're an intermediate brewer, and want to take it to the next level (grain-brewing, original recipe formulation, etc.), I recommend Ray Daniels' "Designing Great Beers." There are quite a few things Daniels covers that Papazian doesn't, and Daniels seems to present it in a more concise, complete, and easy-to-use way. Don't get me wrong, Papazian is a great writer and a legend in homebrewing, but this second book falls short of the standard he set with his first.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: Everything you need to get started homebrewing. Its a little out of date, (I bought the 2nd edition, there is a 3rd, its from the 80s), but all of the info is good. Great book, don't worry, relax, have a home brew!
