entertaining list of ales, lagers and meads,

Although there isn't enough information presented here for the truly novice brewer(just a short formulation chapter at start of the book and the appendixes in back)I found this book to be very interesting to read. People have come up with all sorts of recipes, who'd ever have time to try them all?, and such names! The names these guys have come up with are almost better than their recipes. I especially liked the chapter on hombrews made with honey, those might be the easiest for a novice and seem to be hard to find.

An excellent book from extract to all grain!

Karl presents a comprehensive collection of ale and lager recipes. The recipes include both extract and all grain recipes at about a 50/50 porportion.I enjoyed the book immensely as I was departing from kits and following recipes. All the recipes I made came out fantastic and I still make some of them today. Some of the things I exceptionally, liked are:Several recipes come from competitions. I had found these recipes came out exceptionally well. Although one would think that the recipes from competitions would be more complex, but in fact they were not.I used the book for extract recipes only, so I cannot comment on the all grain recipes. However speaking for the extract recipes, it is certainly a book I have read time and time again as I select what type of beer I am going to make next.
