Description: The Brooklyn Brew Shop's Beer Making Book teaches cooks and beer fans how to make seasonally inspired beers and to explore what's fresh in the greenmarkets. Those getting started in brewing will appreciate the illustrated step-by-step introduction to making and bottling beer, while experienced brewers will jump right into a year's worth of fun and creative beer recipes, each with suggested food pairings. Erica and Stephen take brewing out of the basement and put it back in the kitchen. They use whole grains and a one-gallon stove-top style that make brewing appealing to the organic-minded and those with space constraints. All recipes include five-gallon variations, so readers can easily transition to larger batches.

Review: Ok. Let me say right off from the start that if you're a really serious homebrewer, who knows everything about yeast, hops, malt etc. then this book is probably not for you. However, if, like me, you love all the different styles of beer there is, and want to have a crack at making your own gallon of beer, then this book is for you. This is brewing made simple and fun. On your cooker! For a comparatively small initial outlay, you will be making some VERY drinkable beer! I'm currently on my 4th batch and people have said some nice things about the beer I've made. The recipes are very easy to follow and you are walked through each stage of the process. If there's stuff you're not sure about, the authors are more than willing to help if contacted. You'll end up with 9 or 10 330ml bottles of some great beer. Porters, IPA, Stouts, Lager, Dubbels, Trippels. Be warned though, it's very addictive. No sooner have you bottled a batch, then you're itching to brew another recipe! Give it a go, you'll not be disappointed. One thing you need to be aware of is that the liquid measurements given are U.S. ones, not imperial. but there are plenty of converters online. I tend to convert to metric.

Review: The book looks really nice, I went through it briefly. It would be 5* if measurements were not in imperial units. Even on their site they use metrics together with imperial. They could have done the same in the book, or print some different issue for rest of the world.
