I picked this up for supplementary information in addition to the instructions that came with my first beer ingredient kit. I found it very helpful and I'd recommend it to anyone new to the hobby. It is divided into three main sections which are packed with subcategories and information:
Especially for the Beginner (I like it because it is a stand alone section with all the information needed to brew your first batch
Betterbrew- Intermediate Brewing
Advanced Homebrewing for the Practical Homebrewer
This has turned into my go-to book. Only two things keep me from giving it 5 stars. First, almost every step in the process is ended by instructions to "Relax...have a homebrew." It's funny the first few times but it quickly gets annoying. Not to mention, if you actually drank that many homebrews during the process, I'm pretty sure you'd be too drunk to actually brew anything! The second thing is the photos. I don't mind the cheesy cartoons so much but not only are the photos illustrating the process very amateurish, but they are also awkward. I'd much rather have more professional photographs and models without the creepy grins.
