Brewing Library

[krejcard]

I am looking to increase my brewing library and trying figure out what some good books are. I have Designing Great Beers. And I am planning to get How to Brew also, I read it from the library and think it is a good reference book. Any other good reference books that people have found?

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

Water: A Comprehensive Guide for Brewers (Brewing Elements)

[The Brew Mentor]

Start with the basics...
How to brew
Complete Joy of Home Brewing
Brewing Classic Styles

The water and yeast book are very informative but I always say walk before you run

'Stick with the basics'- good advice.
If you can make the same beer 2-3 times and it be the same, good for you- you're brewing!
Keep the burner hot!

My go to reference book has always been "The Complete Handbook of Home Brewing" by Dave Miller. It's a bit nerdy, but then again so am I. I like it because it gives you the reasons behind the instructions that a lot of books skip over. For instance, when I first started all grain, I was puzzled why all the books said to mash in at 152, but the first recipe I did said to mash in at 156. This book concisely answers those sorts of questions.
