It seems that a home brewing is a rite of passage/mid-life crisis most men will experience at least once, and if they’re lucky, the only time they’ll ever have to encounter yeast. Yes, I even repulsed myself. Most have heard tales of a brewing disaster: exploding bottles in the middle of the night that sound like gunshots, chronic flatulence due to consumption of inferior product or wives running off with the gardener due to their hermitic husbands’ nocturnal beer-making. Now that’s all set to change.
Enter Beer Craft: A Simple Guide to Making Great Beer; a comprehensive guide to home brewing with all the hard work taken out. The cutest San Francisco couple, journalist, William Bostwick and designer and editor, Jessi Rymill have compiled their best recipes from experiments conducted in their pokey kitchen and now share them with the world in a beautifully illustrated tome.
Covering topics such as basic preparation through to which glassware to best serve beers in, Beer Craft is also supported by comprehensive brewing resources on their website. Now won’t you raise your glass and join me in a toast? To beer!
You can buy it here.
