Thanks for that, I'm toying with idea of buying the book but think it might be a bit of a dry read.
Top pancake advice though!

Yeast is indeed an epic read the induction is informative, but I imagine this book will be similar in respect to taking what you need from it without building a laboratory..It's on my birthday wush list to childish maybe but its my only request. ..

I read it in three days. The thing I'm not sure I learned very much. When stuff comes up I think oh yeah that was in water I should read that section again. But I lent it to my brother.

I keep skimming through the book but IMHO a water report, a salifert kit, JBK members and maybe a brewing calculator is all I need .

You shouldn't be surprised that most brewers can't even conceive of employing that level of effort. Hopefully the book provides some impetus for the average brewer to understand that sometimes they DO need to think about their brewing water.

I think about my water everytime I brew...

I just choose not to do too much about it... :oops:
My soft water is great for brewing pale ales and Kolsch's etc...

I'll manage lol
