Brewing British-Style Beers: More Than 100 Thirst-Quenching Pub Recipes to Brew at Home (Fox Chapel Publishing) Handy Reference for English Styles including ESB, Stout, Lager, Ale, Pilsner, and More

This is an older book that has been out of print for a spell, but if you like brewing in the British style it is nice as a loose reference. At the time this book was written, there was not a huge range of English style yeasts available so not enough information was given on fermentation. The yeasts available at the time over-attenuated, so saccharine tablets were part of the recipes to impart back some sweetness (don't do that). Some of the recipes are vague in their grains or extract info. Again I suspect that there weren't that many options available to the home-brewer at the time this was written. I would reference crystal malt in the 80L range for most of these recipes though. With all that being said, it has earned it's place on my book shelf as a permanent resident.

this book is a copy of dave lines book "brewing beers like those you buy". Written in the 70's, it's recipes lack the application of modern ingredients. that said, I have made a lot of the recipes in the previous book and they are fairly accurate, although I have used modern liquid yeast etc.

My husband was thrilled with this book when he got it for Christmas. He had gone on a brewery course and they were referring to it.

Bought as a gift for my dad who is brewing his own, he liked the recipies and is trying a few out currently. Yet to be tasted but looks good so far.
