Description: "Gardening for the Homebrewer is an introduction to the wide variety of plants you can use for fermentations or infusions.  Learn how to tell if your yard is a perfect site for barley or whether it's better suited to a fragrant collection of herbs.  Learn how to grow, dry, and store fresh hops.  Or go off the beaten path and grow everything you need for your first gruit, cider, perry, or fruit wine.  Do you only have a balcony or a windowsill for your organic inspirations?  No problem!  A variety of plant recommendations will suit gardens and gardeners of all types, even ones with limited space."--
