What could be better than enjoying a glass of delicious home-brewed organic beer? This book includes everything you'll need to know to brew a variety of beers at home, from the equipment and techniques needed to a few inside secrets from a professional brewer. In this timely book, John Parkes demystifies the brewing process and explains in easy-to-follow terms how anyone can produce delicious beer with the help of just some basic equipment and a few key skills. Those new to home brewing will love the easy-to-follow instructions and the detailed explanations of the brewing process and anyone already adept at home brewing will be delighted by the original recipes. Made without unnecessary chemicals and additives, the beers featured here will appeal to anyone seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

John Parkes has a life-long fascination with beer and in 2006 set up his own company, Red Rock Brewery, brewing traditional beer from his farm in Devon. His beers are sold locally and also served in pubs in and around Devon.

Clearly and concisely written, and pleasantly produced & illustrated... This is a great, accessible little book to take you from no home brewing experience at all, well into experimenting with a range of recipes and styles, before you'll need to buy anything else... I would heartily recommend it to newbie home-brewers. -- "Country Skills for Modern Life"
