Dave Miller's Homebrewing Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great-Tasting Beer Review

With what I would call a fairly educated background, some of the biochem discussion was a little more than I can imagine is needed for the average home brewer. None the less those discussions were very informative for myself. I was in my 2nd year of brewing when I bought the book. I did end up reading the book cover to cover and constantly refer back to information in it.
Not the quickest reference book as it bounces between theory and practice through out.
I especially enjoyed the section on identifying off flavors in your beer, it was a great list of what not to do while brewing. I found it very pointed and concequential in nature. I mean what more does a book need to say than "Rack beer promptly; minimize bottle yeast; store beer cool" or your beer will taste like sulfur. That is just about how blatant the table format is for off flavors. Sometimes those are the types a statements novices need in brewing which is considered more of an art than a process.

I recommend this book...I actually bought a copy for a friend who is a home brewer.Get more detail about Dave Miller's Homebrewing Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great-Tasting Beer.
