However, it's not a How To Brew book, and not very fun to read.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187478308938410696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-79703318406658395712009-01-29T10:55:00.000-05:002009-01-29T10:55:00.000-05:00I read Homebrew Companion early in my brewing care...I read Homebrew Companion early in my brewing career. I remember it being pretty similar, but a bit more in depth. That said, I haven’t opened it in so long that I can't do a mini-review off the top of my head.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-45982225508999193342009-01-29T10:45:00.000-05:002009-01-29T10:45:00.000-05:00Hey Mike,I am completely new to your site but I th...Hey Mike,<BR/><BR/>I am completely new to your site but I think I like it! I just read you post about Charlie Papazian's "Joy of Homebrewing" book and was wondering if you felt the same way about the "sidekick" book to that entitled "The Homebrewer's Companion"(http://www.amazon.com/Homebrewers-Companion-Charles-Papazian/dp/0060584734/ref=pd_sim_b_3). My brew-buddy and I have found them both relatively helpful in covering the basics, we are new to brewing, but have found other resources to really help us understand in-depth concepts and methods. I just thought you could take a look and see if you think it is more of the same or something that is worthwhile to keep around on the bookshelf.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563812795638219040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-5434901461570039202009-01-29T09:26:00.000-05:002009-01-29T09:26:00.000-05:00Not a big fan of DGB?

I think some of the ingredients are a bit out of date, but in terms of teaching you to design your own recipes I haven't found a better resource.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-13441890764828780202009-01-29T08:34:00.000-05:002009-01-29T08:34:00.000-05:00You should read Designing Great Beers.
