No sure mate?
Iââ¬â¢ve not used the amount of hops he suggests in any brew yet
Hereââ¬â¢s another ðŸâÂ

Can anyone recommend a good book on constructing American style IPAs? I thought radical brewing may help here but itââ¬â¢s two pages on it weren't that informative.
Another question! With ipa recipes, as most are American, many tend to specify two row with a bit of Munich. I am guessing that would give something similar to Maris Otter, which may be less available over there. Any reason not to replace the two row Munich combo with Maris Otter?
James Morten's book will arrive tomorrow! ( along with that book on hops) , the Mrs signed up to a free month of amazon prime for smas- first time ive used it and it took about 5 seconds to order both ( on her account to boot!) happy days
Had a voucher for Amazon so used it against this book.The only other book I would recommend that hasn't been mentioned, is Brewing Classic Styles by J. Zainasheff. It's primarily a recipe book with at least one recipe for every style and everything I've brewed from it has been great.
Just recieved my Brewing Classic Styles,had a quick flick through,looks to be a good read:thumb:Had a voucher for Amazon so used it against this book.
Whilst my brewing is on hold at present(health),with too many beers to hand,it looked a good read with some future recipies.:thumb:
Enjoy mate, just start saving up for hops now though !! He uses around 600-700 in one brew ðŸË³
I'm getting this book (Morton) for Christmas.
(I know this because I bought it, and gave it to my middle son to give me for Christmas).
Can't wait to try some of the recipes, and these snippets are whetting my appetite.
Looks like I'll have to start saving up for hops though. :)
Hoppiness is happiness! Is it you book you'd recommend for the average stovetop 15L brewer?
I checked the recipes in it with the peek inside function before I bought, and wanted most of the recipes in there. So wasn't at all disappointed. I could totally see somebody been a bit put out though who bought it blind only to find nothing in there they overly wanted to brew. I also wasn't that keen on how they do indeed peg the all grain versions on at the end, not least as instead of telling you the hops for the all grain, they just tell you to "reduce the HBUs by N for the all grain version".
My favourite book though is still Greg Hughes Home Brew Beer. Without that book I wouldn't be able to understand half of the posts on here. :lol: When I started the hobby I was met with what felt like a solid wall of sparging, flame out, lautering, krausen and vorlauf... That one book allowed me to understand these terms, understand the processes, and came with some yummy recipes into the bargain. :thumb:
I bought the Graham Wheeler book accidentally (I thought I'd ordered the Greg Hughes one), and until I read the Greg Hughes book I found it hard going. I'm also not a huge fan of most popular British beer styles sadly, and my wife pulls her face when I mention brewing a stout or porter....
John Palmer How to Brew, well it's a BIG book! Again though the focus is on extract brewing when it comes to the recipes, with a heavy vibe of "buy my stuff". I can imagine it been a good choice for the brewer who wants to dive into the hobby in a very serious way. It's also incredibly American.
So that's why my fave 2 are Home Brew Beer and Clone Brews. :thumb: Oh, and the DIY Dog PDF..... :lol: That one is free too.
