(11/09/07) The easiest way to carbonate beer. This is a Cornelius keg lid with built-in carbonation stone! Move the lid from keg to keg to carbonate as needed. Allows you to force carbonate quickly using the attached .5 micron stone with the portability of being able to move the lid from keg to keg. No more hassles of trying to attach and unattach line from the "gas in" dip tube. Simply connect your gas quick disconnect to the included fitting on the lid and allow carbonationg to begin. We constructed the lid by welding on a 1/4" barb to the underside of the lid. To that we attacehd 2' of 1/4" ID tubing that attaches to a .5 micron carbonation stone on the other end. The flexible tubing, as opposed to rigid tubing, allows the lid inserted into any cornelius style keg. The top of the lid has a "gas in" ball lock body connect welded in place that works with the KEG710 and KEG730 gas quick disconnects.See less

(01/14/07) This book takes you from knowing nothing to truly UNDERSTANDING not just how to preserve foods, but how each method works and the pros/cons of each method. Most of the information is on canning and freezing (including different packaging and wrapping techniques), but they also go into salting, smoking, drying, and root cellaring. They don't expect you to live as if it were the 1800's either. They incorporate the use of vacuum sealers and microwaves--and trying to preserve food in the confines of the modern home. Likewise, they will also explain how to create the old types of environments or something that will work just as well. To be honest, there is more educational information than there are recipes. And even the recipes they give are educational--covering jellies, jams, butters and pickling. These are prime opportunities for failure without appropriate instruction--and that's what they provide. Explaining how it all works--which is not common sense! It takes some learning! They...See less

(01/14/07) As has been said previously, there are few pricing details in this book. Not that they would help me in 2004, since this book is getting on in years. Other than that, it's an excellent reference for things you probably aren't thinking about. It takes a realistic approach to the problems a brewer will face and helps the reader to understand the many layers there are in opening their own brewery. It's not just a matter of deciding to do it and start brewing. I think some readers want their hand held through the whole thing, which obviously can't be done. Great book for anyone else.

(01/14/07) 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Reviewer: A reader This is the first book I bought before I brewed my first batch from extract--the beer turned out great and I've never looked back. Since then I've expanded my homebrewing library to include Papazian's "Joy of Homebrewing", Miller's books, Noonan's "New Brewing Lager Beers", and others, but as a guide to the basic nuts and bolts of homebrewing, nothing beats this book, and it is the one I turn to first if I have a question I want answered quickly. First time brewers would do well to read this. Highly recommended. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)See less

(01/14/07) I've been enjoying premium beer for about 6 years now, but I still learned some things from this book. One of the things covered is the "Myth of Reinheitsgebot". Beaumont explains when this is important and when it is not. I also found the section on food pairing helpful because it gives parallels to wine and food pairings. With the exception of Pislners and Amber Ales, most styles of beer are explored with a couple of prime examples given. For each beer, Beaumont talks about good food pairings or good times to enjoy the style of beer as some are not as suited for mealtime. The wonderful pictures make the book truly enjoyable. While there are more comprehensive books available, this is a quick read that will give you a better appreciation of quality beer. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)See less

(01/14/07) Review Praise for the second edition: "Brewing, Second Edition, presents the subject of brewing science and practice in an easy-to-read format with excellent illustrations and gives a good grounding in the subject. ...an excellent survey of the science and technology of malting and brewing, suitable both for students of biotechnology in general and as a basic reference for anyone in the brewing industry. Overall, ...a useful introductory text for anyone interested in the technical aspects of the brewing process." (Food Technology, June 2003) "… these chapters provide a sound basis for the brewing process, with clear expositions of critical steps such as extraction in mashing and metabolism in fermentation." (American Society of Brewing Chemists Newsletter, 63:2, 2003) Praise for the first edition: "This book presents the essentials of brewing science and is a useful guide for students and professional brewers."

(01/14/07) I requested this book for Christmas based on the reviews and that a LHBS said it was at a technical level for someone with a chemistry degree. The book also describes itself a a complete book. Neither of these statements are true. This book should be described as an overview of brewing and the brewing industry. Homebrewers will get a lot more information from books by John Palmer, Ray Daniels, and Charlie Papazian if you are a beginner. Although I was disappointed to find Greg Noonan's book was not about lager, it provides a lot more detail than this book. Possibly the biggest problem is that it is out of date and is in desperate need of updating with the latest hops, grains, extracts, yeasts, equipment techniques, and so on. In my opinion, there are no brewing books that could be considered complete, and this is as far from complete as I feel it could be. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)See less
