Standards of Brewing: Formulas for Consistency and Excellence

Do not pass this one up. This one really gets you involved in as little as 200 something pages i found it to be and still is worth its price 10 times over. Why? The exercises in the chapters. The exercises are what can really identify "do you understand this or how you at least come up with the answer?" I find it to be great and would love to see more of this type of content in other brewing books.

I bought it used. But it is in great condition, only a few black marker scribbles to blackout the name of the library that previously owned it.. The book is really well written. Not overly complicated, very friendly and straight forward. It even has little review quizzes. Really informative book on beer process analysis. It's also the textbook for my class.

The other reviews written here are spot on. It really isn't applicable for home brewers but was informative. I also purchased the book knowing it would be of little practical use as a home brewer. I am curious to understand for whom some of the chapters were written, again, speaking as a home brewer. It seemed to me that anyone that has reached a position to be tasked with some of the tests he described should already know very well the lab procedures he describes in a somewhat higher level language. In other words, anyone that needs to know how to do it probably already knows and those that don't won't learn how to do it from this book. The statistics part was great and he gives some good advice as far as not collecting and fussing over data that will never be properly studied. The author obviously knows his subject and has great experience in the field. I do recommend the for those home brewers that enjoy the theoretical side of brewing. For those professionals looking detailed information on the subject, take the author's 5 month class in California! B

As a quality engineer, the first part of the book (quality issues) was too basic to me. However, the rest of the book was perfect.

Must have for any brewery. I keep two copies of this book on hand so I can loan one out and have another for my reference.

This very renowned author emphasizes the need for quality assurance above all and I agree totally! Very clearly explained in a very easy way. Great book!!!!

Clear cut, as expected. Much more geared toward commercial brewers than home brewers but some principles translate. I bought this as the text book for Dr. Bamforth's practical brewing laboratory class.

Excellent shape book! Can't wait to use it for my studies (going into Fermentation Science at Central Michigan University). Thanks!

Goes into depth on the subject provides guidelines to follow when establishing the processes in your brew house.

Este é o livro perfeito para quem já ama cerveja e também para quem quer se tonar um expert na bebida. Livro bem técnico.

Muy adecuado libro que describe la mejora del proceso sin rodeos y muy bien explicado

Delivered in good time and covers topics not often seen in other brewing textbooks.
