Lovely. I do like a collection you can measure in meters.

Haha. It;s grown a bit since then, but with nothing very interesting. My most recent acquisition, from Stone Brewing, is the biggest load of junk, Great for a coffee table book, but I'd expected a bit more from those dudes. Hence my reluctance to buy CAMRA's latest offering. However, the comments, above are weakening my resolve.

I have slowed up on the beverage books. Technical food books are catching up now.

Don't thing I've ever tried technical food. Any good?
I'm having a flirtation with my boyhood passion (possibly, addiction, is there a difference?) of country wine making. Had been put off wine by grape wine, with a very few exceptions, which, frankly, leaves me cold. Wonder if anyone out there can recommend any up to date books.
Bought a pile of plums and am fermenting them with MJ CY17 on the hunch that it's high in beta glucosidase and might produce something light and floral. Let's see.

I can (genuinely) recommend this, but I don't think amazon keep it.

Amazon.uk have got a battered copy for £14.95, but I'm not paying that for a 1953 edition. It;s even older than me. And probably written in Latin!
I see it cost 8/6 when it was new. That's about 42p of today's money.
Thank,s though. I'm looking for something up to date. I've never moved on from Berry.

His one on poisonous stuff is good.
Sorry I can't be much help, most of my library is wine from grapes.
That said if you need some recipes I have a few & could do some screens shots.

If you like a read, Alaskan bootleggers is funny, historical and has recipes. But not technically what you asked for. 
Looks like the bloke with the lamp is about to smack the bloke who looks like he's going to sick.
I was also curious what part of the wine making was being depicted!

Enjoyed the book. Also noted the mash ph thing and will give it a go. Not much that will change my method but I may do wort aeration which I have never tried.
A few recipes I like but the skew is heavily towards American IPA, I am always put off by massive dry hops. Maybe some ideas for the 10L keg.
