 A must have volume in a brewing book collection January 30, 2008
When I first went to my local homebrew shop and asked what book would be the best one to start homebrewing with, this was the one that was recommended. Charlie Papazian does an outstanding job of making homebrewing simple and approchable for someone new to the hobby. He goes into a good description of all of the ingredients and how they contribute to the flavor of beer. There are pages of good guides to hops which I have found very useful in making hops substitutions. This is becoming important as many popular hops become harder to find. My only comment is that I think his initial brew chapter has a little more equipment than you really need to start. There are many other good brew books that I have found good for my library, but this is a good one. Every homebrewer should have this book out of respect for what Charlie has done to make homebrewing a nationally accessible hobby.
a classic January 8, 2008
Every homebrewer should own this book. I recently repurchased after my old copy became hopelessly lost, and I felt I couldn't live without it. The third edition seems to be even more technically detailed than the previous ones.
perfectly helpful December 21, 2007
this book when combined with How to Brew is just about the best and most comforting thing you could imagine when starting out. Broken out into beginner, intermediate, and advanced...or maybe even impatient, curious, plotting, the author uses progressive disclosure to get you up to speed. it is a must buy.
 You should buy John Palmer's "How to Brew" December 3, 2007

How to Brew: Everything You Need To Know To Brew Beer Right The First Time
The information contained in both these books is the same, it is in the organization that "The Complete Joy of Home Brewing" falters. I do not know John Palmer. I have Brewed over 20 batches of beer this year and am well versed in brewing procedure. I believe that "How to Brew" is the definitive book for beginning home brewers. Also, the first addition of "How to Brew" is available free online at www.howtobrew.com. I suggest that you do not buy this book.
Good Brewing,
Bjorn
