John Palmer wrote a book that’s very detailed, extremely helpful, downright enjoyable to read, and after all that is really easy to understand and retain! This book actually teaches you the entire process in a way that you’ll understand as a beginner and as experienced brewer without being overwhelmed. That’s hard for a teacher to do in a class room and John pulled it off in a book. Needless to say you should own this.
