Brew Chem 101: The Basics of Homebrewing Chemistry [Janson Ph.D., Lee W.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Brew Chem 101: The Basics of Homebrewing Chemistry

Review: Good introduction for Homebrewers with a nontechnical background - Of the several books out there on brewing chemistry, the majority are too technical for the average homebrewer or beer lover to follow, while those dumbed down for the mass audience frequently say too little of note. Lee Johnson, a homebrewer armed with a Ph.D in biological sciences and biochemistry, nails it. He covers the basic chemistry of beer, the biochemistry of beer, what goes on during fermentation and the chemistry of mashing and sparging. He builds on the reader’s understanding of and interest in beer and brewing to present an interesting, easy to follow and nonthreatening introduction to the chemistry of beer and brewing. Janson pulls this together in his two final chapters on understanding and avoiding off flavors and evaluating beer. Chemists and professional brewers probably do not need this book but I highly recommend it for homebrewers without a chemistry background who want a better understanding of their craft.
Review: Absolutely love this book - Absolutely love this book. As someone who's aspiring to be a professional brewer with no collegiate science courses under my belt, this book has been a huge help in my need to understand brewing chemistry, and I'm only half-way through it. I can't wait to finish it so I can read it again. I'm starting an official brewing course in the fall & plan to keep this book close by for reference.
