pretty basic |
|
if you're the kind of person who doesn't know what way to turn a screwdriver you'll probably think this is a great book. if you're the kind of person who's even moderately handy it's pretty much going to be a bore. as was said before, the information is now widely available on the internet, available for a reasonable price or is just common sense. if you already have a solid homebrewing library, you're not going to find much in here that interests you. |

Excellent Resource |
As a library administrator, I get to see and read a lot of books pertaining to all my hobbies and I can honestly say that this book is a must have for anyone starting out in home brewing. It details all of the equipment you will need for basic to semi-advanced brewing. I particularly like the fact that this book gives you instructions on how to completely fabricate your own equipment, partially fabricate it, and what to look for if you intend to purchase commercially manufactured equipment. It is sort of the bible of brewing equipment and I was so impressed with it I actually bought my own copy (the highest recommendation a librarian can give). Cheers!

Just can't bring myself to buy it |
I can't tell you how many times I've picked this book up with the intention of buying it. I've ended up putting it back on the shelf every time. Reason? There simply isn't enough content of value. First, a lot of it is simply obvious. Second, a lot of it is available elsewhere. Third, it's simplistic. Fourth, it's irritating that that it includes commercially-made items (i.e., not everything is about home-made items, in spite of the title). Finally, it's just not that well written. I've read it through standing in the bookstore a dozen times. I guess I think I'll find something I've missed. I never do ...
Buy it only if you're absolutely strapped, are just starting out, and really don't know where to begin. |

Brew Ware: How to |
|
Good step by step procedure on how to make your first batch then takes you to the next levels step by step. Tells what essential equipment needed, offers simple alternatives. With this book I was finally able to see and understand the process clearly. |

Good, but not great. |
I recommend this book as a collection of plans and details you can generally find in many other places. However, most of the information is available for free elsewhere.
If you are just getting started brewing, this book might save you a little money in giving you the basics of how to build your own equipment, but a caveat to that is that you should also subscribe to a good online brewer's forum. |
