I must admit, I've never seen THBRD on any of the CBA sites, even buried away on a non referenced page, but that it not to say that it was in the very dim and distant past. If we are the source of the escape, then I apologise, and will buy a copy asap.

It is somewhat apropros that this post should come up as I was talking to another brewer and he was asking for a recipe for St Peters Ruby Ale . . . is it in the book ?

Les, what's the score with that book being available on Google Books?
Is it legit?
Have you given permission?
Are you happy to see it there?

I haven't given specific permission and I guess that effectively Google Books is like any other book seller so they will have access to the book through the usual distribution channels that I have no control over. Under normal circumstances I'd be happy to see it there but since I'd rather not have anyone waste their money on the first edition I can only wait for my cancellation of its publication to feed through the distribution channels which I think will take months (at best). I can only cut off the supply and if other web sites dont reflect this it will be a frustration for their customers when they cannot supply the book.

I note that they say that there is no e-book available which is not true so the site is inaccurate too.

Cheers,

Les

That's OK. I released it at the time so I blame myself. In hindsight it was a mistake but I can't close the stable door.

There are details for 9 St. Peters beers in there but not Ruby Ale. It shows that there are recipes for 2 of their beers (Extra and Honey Porter) here on JBK. The only information I can find on their Ruby Red Ale is from their website http://www.stpetersbrewery.co.uk/products/classics/ which says that it uses Cascade hops. Not much but it's a start.

Cheers,

I have the book and I use it for inspiration while having a relaxing beer, jumping from brewery to brewery and looking at the hop combos. It's more like a feel good -book for recipe inspiration. So cheers Les!
