As close to the perfect homebrewing book as it gets!!, 2009-01-08
This book is absolutely incredible. I have several books on brewing and this is by far the best. My first book on the subject was "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian. I loved it; it is a great book to get started on. However, John Palmer's book offers WORLDS more detail, and about a broader range of topics. The best way I can describe it is a combination of the best parts of both of Papazian's books, and the first half of Ray Daniels' book, and then some. The advanced information in it is on par with Greg Noonan's "New Brewing Lager Beer" (although Noonan covers decoction mashing in more detail). But Noonan's book has GIANT gaps in background for those that don't have in-depth knowledge of certain things, such as the molecular structure of starches and sugars and the anatomy of barley (i.e., most of us). Palmer's book fills in these gaps unbelievably well and is much easier to read, laced with dry humor. Palmer is also very quantitative about things, providing examples of calculations every step of the way. The quantitative parts are presented in such a way that they are easy to follow, well laid out, and concise. All of the information (quantitative or otherwise) is state-of-the-art, incorporating newly-discovered facts about such things as malt proteins and how they will affect your beer. And the cherry on top: Palmer even added appendices to discuss things like the effects of fluid mechanics on your lautering and sparging procedures, and detailed descriptions of how to build mash tuns and wort chillers! To use a cliché: if you're only going to have one book on homebrewing, this is it. You won't be disappointed.

Very Thorough, 2009-01-01
This is the most thorough text on brewing that I have found. Though Charlie Papazian's book is a good read for beginners, Palmer has really filled in a lot of the missing info. Excellent buy!

Big part in the puzzle, 2008-12-31
I own this book as well as the -Joy- book from Papazian and the guide from Miller. None of these three books gave me all the informations I wanted to have, but together they did quite well. I find the information in the this book the most complete and well organized (he does not cover Kreusening, but thats about it). He gives you a lot of formulas and sheets to do calculations for the variation of given recipes or creation of your own. The all grain recipes are definitely for the intermediate brewer.

The New Brewer's Bible, 2008-12-26
i have been homebrewing since high school and this is the best brew book ever for all levels of brewers; equipment, basic extract brewing to all grain brewing; it is the new brewer's bible. Thank you John Palmer!

Good Tips for Beginners or Experts, 2008-12-22
I was a first time brewer when purchasing this book and it allowed me to browse the pages and get my first batch under my belt in no time. From there it provides enough information to let the brewer(s) experiment on their own. The book gives great tips on what aspects of the ingredient's weights and time addition give the beer its characteristics, allowing you to really create multiple beers from the same recipe just by varying simple time additions during the brew.
A MUST for any home brewer looking to refine their process.
