Homebrewing For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback))
Marty Nachel immediately dispels two long-held myths inHomebrewing  for Dummies: brewing your own beer isn't all that difficult, and despite all  that you may have heard or assumed, facial hair is not a prerequisite to being a  good homebrewer.Like all other books in the popular Dummies series,Homebrewing for  Dummiesis a clear, concise, how-to guide for the do-it-yourselfer. As it  turns out, making beer isn't hard to do if you have a stove, some basic  equipment, and a little time on your hands. Here's your chance to make your own  Hefeweizen or India Pale Ale and avoid another trip to the local microbrewery;  Nachel provides the recipes and solid step-by-step instructions. And if making  beer isn't enough, the chapter on evaluation will teach even the most pedestrian  beer drinker to critically analyze homebrews like a pro.Nachel is well qualified. The former welder is an award-winning brewer and one  of the top beer writers in the country.Homebrewing for Dummiescovers  the gamut--from simple lagers to Belgian Dubbels--and Nachel shows that you  don't need a team of Clydesdales or a Colorado mountain spring to make great  beer at home.
