Exactly what it sets out to do *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020* I have a few homebrew books already - one to cover the essentials, one of the clone recipe books and some style-specific tomes on more specific kinds of beer. I'm now a confident all-grain brewer, recently upgraded my equipment and I'm ready to take on the world. So I bought this book.Of all the books I've bought, this is my favorite. I love it because it's opinionated. It's one thing to be presented with a recipe and some numbers in the abstract; it's another to be presented with background on how the recipe was arrived at, why certain techniques are recommended and what you should expect from it. But to have the latter presented in the context of the author's vast experience and general approaches is invaluable. It's like having the opportunity to sit down with a mentor and watch them work.I've only brewed one recipe from the book so far - the "Landlord Tribute" cask ale. As a Brit with years of disappointing bitters under my belt, I have to say I was skeptical. However, it's turned out beautifully. This is the book I will keep coming back to over the next year as I expand my styles.As many others have said, this isn't a book for beginners and given its opinionated nature, it requires a little interpretation. But I have no gripes about that, particularly given the lengths the author goes to in helping educate you on how recipes can and should be interpreted. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best of its Kind on the Market *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2015* I've made three beers from this book--the Mexican Vienna Lager, Oktoberfest and the Maibock. The Vienna Lager is just beginning the fermentation, the Oktoberfest has been lagering and the Maibock is now finished. The Vienna lager is already great and it still has a ways to go. Halfway through a three month lagering, the Oktoberfest appeared to be the best beer I ever made. Crisp, clear with a strong malty backbone. In a word: perfect. But I used the phrase "appeared to be the best beer I ever made." I say "appeared" because I had not tried the Maibock. OMG! The Maibock is AMAZING! I have to make some pretzels just to go with it. We live in a world that's consumed by IPAs, but I have to tell you these lagers--if you follow the recipes (including the pain in the neck decoctions) -- are soooo freaking good. They capture why the Germans are celebrated as having some of the best beers of all time. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The book is more than just lagers, though. It has virtually every style you could want--from IPAs to stouts to just about everything. The recipes are well thought out and easy to understand. He even tells you what additions to put in RO water to make it style specific. At the end of the day, though, it's about how well the recipes turn out. I've been making these beers for an Oktoberfest party I'm planning and I cannot wait to see peoples' jaw drop when they try them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, one minor grievance. *by U***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017* I really liked how he approached the organization of this book. Perhaps it's a little non-traditional in a few ways, like recipe categories (they range from the straight-forward styles like IPA to "Everyday beers" in which he includes a mix of Blonde ales, Wheat, Kolsch and bitters).I think he particularly does a great job of:1) explaining a few somewhat non-traditional techniques that he likes to use. He mashes his darker grains only at vorlauf, and discusses hop additions at different times of the cycle including first wort hopping and some additions during a post-boil hop stand. You might already do some of this, or already heard of these approaches, but he explains these techniques well.2) going through different approaches to the same style. He has several styles that he attacks from different recipe angles and describes why he did it and what the outcome should be. I really appreciate that about this book - which makes it a great read as you think about your own recipe formulation.My biggest pet peave is that he leaves out some basic information on his ingredients that I appreciate in recipe:. Lovibond of grains, % fermentables, and IBU contributions from his hop additions to name the biggest omissions. I know I can Google this or calculate it with my software (and estimate in my head and get really close) but as I jump from recipe-to-recipe within a style I'd like that information provided.It's nitpicking, but that's the only reason I didn't give it 5-stars. Don't let this minor detail keep you from buying the book, it's great and well worth the time and money. Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14955326-modern-homebrew-recipes](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14955326-modern-homebrew-recipes) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
