Those who do n Full of great homebrewing knowledge. Those who do not have an interest or an obsession with homebrewing may find the book a bit dry when Papazian attempts to explain things like yeast flocculation or Alpha Acids, but Charlie keeps the technical stuff to a minimum will delivering a very in depth survey of the art. The recipe for "Slanting Annie's Chocolate Porter" is my favorite. I recommend this recipe to everyone. Mar 05, Stuart rated it liked it Shelves: A good book on brewing science is one that reminds the reader that brewing is an art, and Charlie Papazian is a master of that.
The book gets three stars for being somewhat dated and for the somewhat excessive poetic waxing.
Great Fermentations
The book is a wonderful resource full of out-of-the-way knowledge, great stories and lots of charts, references and recipes. If this book ever catches an update I'll buy a copy for my brewery. Jan 26, Davy rated it really liked it. This was a good companion to the original Complete Joy of Homebrewing but provided some more in depth process and also history on brewing. One of my favorite stories was the story about how Bass, one of the first breweries to brew IPA's back.
When this dude into the details, I feel it went a little over my head, but I think as a novice brewer, this is a good reference I can always come back to. Dec 26, Gingerwolverine rated it really liked it Shelves: A little more serious than his first book The Complete Joy of Brewing, Third Edition but a worthwhile read all the same of you're getting into your home brewing as much as I am.

When I started homebrewing in the 80's, this was the definitive book on the subject. I know there are other better books out there, but I still reach for this one first. The recipies are great, if a little light on the hops, and are easy to follow.
Jan 05, Dani rated it really liked it Shelves: Great tips for first time beer makers. Some of it was a bit complicated Can't wait to try some recipes. Jun 18, Luke rated it it was amazing. Indispensable book for making beer at home. Jan 25, Mark rated it really liked it Shelves: A bit dated but pretty good. The style still slightly grates but can't put finger on it. If you drank a homebrew as often as he says to throughout you would have a serious drinking problem. Sep 24, Mitch Romig rated it really liked it. If you haven't read the Joy of Homebrewing, read that first.
If you have and want more, here it is. Nov 07, JT rated it it was ok Shelves: This one was a waste of time. May 12, Brent rated it liked it Recommends it for: But not a beginner book: Two of his earlier book. Not as good as was hoping. Some good points and recipes but for being revised still seemed dated. Still learned a few things so all is good. A comprehensive reference of beer and beer brewing. I especially like the extensive list of recipes. Another great book on homebrewing that I continue to use as a reference.
I didn't read every single word as it got into details of brewing methods I don't employ yet. Feb 24, Nick rated it it was amazing. Dec 21, Sean rated it really liked it. There's a significant amount of out-dated brewing information in this book, but overall it's a good read.
