Relax, Don't Worry, Have a (successful) Homebrew!
This is the preeminent text for the beginning home brewer, and a worthy reference text for the more experienced brewers to turn to... It truly should be considered as required reading before undertaking this new hobby in order to prevent disappointment and ultimately allow the first (and every) batch to be successful. The author presents the background and techniques of homebrewing in an easy to understand, easy to follow manner with the goal of 'demystifying' the whole process allowing the new brewer to concentrate on the important issues without worrying about the trivial... "Relax. Don't worry. Have a homebrew!"

Good text but a bit dated...
In reading into this text briefly, I have formed the following opinion(s): -The intro and text are fairly clear and consise. -The techniques outlined are mostly considered 'current practices' (some things don't change). -Some of the concepts are showing a little 'wear' from updates resulting from modern biochemistry, etc. -Many of the ingredients mentioned are no longer available from the supplier / brand mentioned in the text. "Most" ingredients or compounds can still be found with a quick internet search albeit under a different name/description. All in all, I'd recommend this book as a fine reference text with the following caveat - bear in mind that this was last copyrighted in 1989... Yeast still brings fermentation, but a few things have "moved on" since it was written.
