Brew Like A Monk

[Doc]

As if I wasn't already sold wee stu, you've convinced me and my 'obsessive compulsive disorder' to get it

Beers,
Doc

sounds good(ish) enough to obsess over.

 

[wee stu]

Just realised, getting it here in Oz three days before it is officially released is not bad service. Thumbs up to the AHA

 

[PhilS]

just out of interest, is it better to read the 3rd book first, or should I start from the first released book?

I've got all 3 on their way from Amazon. I ordered them in August, was initially informed they'd be shipped October 25 and arrive November 22.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received an e-mail on Saturday informing me of my order being shipped. I'm excited at the prospect of reading the entire series!

Related to this- what books would you recommend to someone who is just starting brewing? I haven't been brewing very long, and want a book that covers info like different yeasts/malts/hops there are and how they taste, and some recipes.

Any recommendations?

John Palmers "How to Brew". The first edition is free on the web. Do a google for it.

Nice. If it is already shipping from Amazon it is cheaper for non-members of the AHA to get it from there.
Also looks like the benefit of ordering from the AHA doesn't count this time.
I will be ordering this arvo. If anyone else wants to go in on the order to save on shipping let me know before 3pm today.

Really depends on where your interest lies - the first book, Farmhouse Ales, is about Saison and Bier de Garde - originally small, artisanal farmhouse brewed beers of the French and Belgium border regions.

The second is about Lambics and Geuze, wild fermented beers - not beers I can imagine brewing myself, but interesting for the informatin.

Brew Like a monk is dedicated to Trappist, Abbey and other strong Belgian Ale styles. As these are the types of Belgian beer most readily available in Australia in imagine this will be the strongest seller and most popular over time.
