Customer Reviews

Excellent to be sure, but.

This book was thorough and informative about big brewery quality controls. But, be warned if you are a 5 gallon a time homebrewer the book will have little guidance/application for you. Andrew Steele - New Zealand

Excellent

A wonderful book. I learned as much as I laughed. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to know more about brewing. A++++!

A superb book....a must have for brewers

This book is exactly what I was looking for to help me understand many of the terms used in the brewing quality lab. The exercises at the back of the chapters were a great way to review whether I really understood the concepts or whether I had to go back and read the section again. The author's quirkysense of humour and how he described his own past experiences in the quality laboratory made me laugh out loud at times and while I was laughing I was learning. A great book that explains why the quality standards are there and how to make good beer by adhering to them.

A book about beer quality that is actually fun to read!

This book addresses a great many of the problems that one encounters day to day in a beer quality laboratory. The writing is in a style that is easy to understand and I thought that the best part was that the book was written with a great sense of humour. I never thought that I would enjoy reading a chapter on "statistics and process control" and yet the author guides you through it in such a way that he leaves you with a clear understanding of the concepts and you enjoy the journey. The author appears to be superbly qualified to write the book from his experiences in the brewing industry.
