Customer Reviews

great service and products

i ordered my books and received them in a timely manner, when the books they were packed well and in pristine condition

Great investment

This book has some really fun/great recipes. Although probably not for the beginning brewer. Finally bought this book after getting tired of checking it out of the library. Great addition to any brewers collection.

Excellent!

The book arrived quickly and in good shape. My husband really likes the information in the book- it has great recipes for brewing your own beer, as well as information about beer and the brewing process.

It is what it was intended to be!

First off I will qualify myself as a librarian and avid home brewer. Though I love brewing at home, I have not as yet made the jump to "all grain" brewing. What I was looking for was a book that had some more advanced recipes aimed at the "weekend warrior" home brewing types that still use malt extract in their beers. This book fit the bill perfectly! With contributions from some of the biggest and most respected names in the craft brewing world, this book is both instructional as well as inspirational. Not everyone pops out of the womb as a superstar brewer, and I think Mr. Calagione should be commended for writing a book aimed at the beginner and intermediate home brewers. I found this a well written, attractive, and informative read. Highly recommended!

An enthusiastic thumbs up!

I just received my copy of Extreme Brewing and I haven't been able to put it down since it arrived. I've been a big fan of Dogfish Head beers for years and thoroughly enjoyed Calagione's first book Brewing Up Business. Wow, not only does this guy make the world's greatest beers, he's a heckuva a writer too! Extreme Brewing is informative, engaging and so far pretty easy to understand. I admit I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but the instructions seem simple enough to follow. I'm really excited to brew my beer in the Dogfish Head tradition.
