A Great Reference Book For Your Brewing Library
I wasn't especially into reading straight through this one, but It is immensely useful as a reference tool when creating my own recipes from scratch.

Dated but solid book
I'd love for an updated version to this book. The recipe sections are pretty dated in terms of styles. But it's still a great resource for getting a better understanding on the nuts and bolts behind the brewing magic, while also helping with recipe design.

A must read!!
If your interested in developing your own recipes, this book is a must have. It has great general brewing info and tips, but has sections on almost every style. Each style focused chapter begins with detailed origins and histories of the style to guide those looking to do historical brews or just better understand the style. More importantly, the chapters contain info and data on award winning examples of the particular style with regards to malt bills, percentages of different grains, hop choices, hopping schedules, yeast and fermentation regimens. This book is perfect for brewers looking to develop their own recipe and need a little guidance an ddirection as oppose to just a recipe to copy. I use this book as a reference as a starting point for every recipe I develop and it's guidance has led me to numerous local and regional awards.
