George Hummel smoothly guides the reader through the process of creating a base to which the homebrewer can apply a myriad of intriguing flavourings, such as fruits, spices and even smoke. There are also outstanding and easy recipes for delicious meads, tasty ciders and great sodas - all of which can be made in a home kitchen and with minimal equipment. Using Hummel's easy-to-follow instructions and thorough analysis of the flavour components of beer, a novice homebrewer can design recipes and make beers to suit any taste or craving. Knowing exactly what's in a beer has additional benefits - homebrewers can easily avoid the chemical additives traditionally found in mass-produced commercial beers.
