Having looked around there alot of brewing books available, can you guys recommend some good ones with varied recipes in them?
It'll give me something to read on my hols... :grin:
 
The latest Graham Wheelers Brew Your Own British Real Ale is difficult to beat.

IF YOU GET IT FROM HERE ITS ONLY £9.59 :thumb:

Got my copy on order. :party:

book depository is where i got mine from £9.24 with free p+p!

Have also got Brew classic european beers at home by Graham Wheeler and Roger Protz out from the library! (wish it was in print! its got some good beers in!)
 
The big book of brewing was excellent in its time . . . . End of the 70's, and even now as a beginners guide to mashing it is very good. . . . there are a number of unnecessary complications (Water treatment) and errors (yeast culture from bottles), but the basics are sound . . . and as that was the only source of brewing information at the time . . . it was my introduction into 'real' brewing
 
Marc Ollosson's Real Ales for the Home brewer is very, very, hard to beat, for English ale recipes. It's out of print now, but pops up every now and then on e-bay/amazon used.
It's full of simple no nonsense recipe's that are tried and tested, many of them on the forum. Some of the beers the recipes are based on are no longer commercially available unfortunately, but that's life.

Clone Brews by Szamatulski is o.k for beers of the world in general, as is Zainasheff's Brewing Classic Styles. The latter is a relatively new american book, and from what I've read and tried, it seems quite good so far :cool:
 
Thanks Guy's
I have gone with GW's new book and the Marc Olloson book having seen a few of the other posts related to this book.
Should give me some good reading whilst in Egypt drinking the local brew :D

A brewing book in an Islamic country, might be dodgy
