Homebrew Favorites : a Coast-to-Coast Collection of More Than 240 Beer and Ale Recipes

Lutzen and Stevens solicited thousands of homebrewers' favorite recipes throughout North America. Homebrew clubs, brewing suppliers, and homebrewers everywhere took up the call to create Homebrew Favorites, one of the largest recipe collections available today. Features directions and advice for brewing at home. Line drawings.

To its tomes on homebrewing and the recent Beer Enthusiast's Guide , Storey Publishing now adds a splendid set of beer recipes. They are sorted into chapters according to style of beer--pale ales, brown ales, porters, stouts, European lagers, etc. There is also a chapter on meads, which are not beers at all but brews based on honey. As the book's very first sentence asserts, the recipes are "for homebrewers"--serious ones. Each recipe has been submitted by a particular homebrewer whose name and comments on the resulting potation introduce the list of ingredients and preparation directions. Libraries with homebrewers already in their clientele really ought to have it, and wherever the book is added, homebrewers might just start springing up.
