Brew Ware: How to Find, Adapt & Build Homebrewing Equipment
This is, quite simply, the one guide a home brewer needs. Understandable drawings of pieces, assemblies, and connections abound, and specifications are presented in explicit detail. Given the mess that a malfunctioning setup for brewing at home can cause, Lutzen and Stevens' attention to detail and plain language are indispensable, and their instructions welcomely cover setting up an outdoor brewing facility and bottling and kegging the finished product, too. Heck, they even advise about home hops growing and yeast culturing. All in all, this is a spicy, but not yeasty, high-end kind of read that has good nose, is filling without being heavy, and is possessed of a tart and tangy aftertaste that neither lingers too long nor displeases the palate.Mike Tribby
