Product Description
More great advice from Charlie Papazian, homebrew master and author of the bestselling The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. "Many ask me, 'What's different about The Homebrewer's Companion?' It's a book that I might have titled The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, Volume 2. The information is 98 percent new information, including improved procedures for beginning and malt-extract brewers as well as advanced and veteran brewers. There are loads of new recipes and useful charts and data that I continually refer to in my own homebrew recipe formulation (I still homebrew about 20 batches a year). My theme throughout is 'Keep it practical. Keep it useful.' I wanted to answer 10 years' worth of questions in this one volume. I did ... and I had fun doing it." -- Charlie Papazian Get the Most from Your Malt! - Easy-to-follow techniques and trouble-shooting tips
- Answers to the most-often asked questions
- A guide to world beer styles
- Useful facts on fermenting, yeast culturing and stove-top boiling
- Charts, tables, support information and much, much more
- Over 60 exotic recipes to try -- from "You'll See" Coriander Amber Ale to Waialeale Chablis Mead
Make sure to check out the third edition of The Complete Joy of Homebrewing.

• Excellent Reference 02 April, 2007
I bought this along with The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, also by Papazian. I think both books are a must-have for any homebrewer. _Companion_ is more of a reference text, while _Joy_ is more introductory. Both books have indispensable information about the basic ingredients and processes of brewing.
When formulating a recipe, I refer back and forth to both books. Each has a variety of recipes in myriad styles that provide a good jumping-off point. For customizing the recipes, I refer to the table in _Companion_ that summarizes the various malts and their contribution to specific gravity, then I go to the table in _Joy_ that catalogs the different varieties of hops and their contribution to bitterness and flavor.

• Great For Beginners 08 March, 2007
As a new brewer, this book has more advanced information in it than I need at the moment. It will be a good reference as I progress through brewing and gain more experience. If you only have one book on brewing to purchase, get Charles Papazian's first book on home brewing.

• "complete Joy" Part 2 26 February, 2008
It is hard to disagree with the author, who said that this could have been titled The Complete Joy of Homebrewing part 2. This book takes the reader into a deeper look at some of the more advanced brewing techniques, but don't let that scare you off if you are a new homebrewer. This book is well worth the information even for the new brewer. Also includes more recipes (which you can never get enough of).

It helps me to brew good beers beacause all items in brewing are explained with enough deep.
