I was brought up on Dave Line who I feel was well ahead of his time He was optimistic about his mash efficiency and some of his methods are old fashioned but home brewing has moved on and he has been dead almost 30 years.He doesn,t warrant some of the criticism that,s levelled at him.tAs far as I,m concerned Graham has taken over Dave's mantle ."Home Brewing" is the book I always refer to when brewing and wait with interest for the publication of his next book(s)
Much as I don't want to sound like a "me too" fanboi/groupee, G.W. taught me a huge amount of what I know about the practical aspects of brewing beer, having bought edition 2 of Home Brewing. I recommended it to a friend and was shocked at how much he had to pay for it; are there any plans to do a re-print? I'm sure it would sell...
