Great reference book! - By: K. Møller, 21 Jun 2008 
For the technical side of brewing this book covers what you need to know! I also have the "complete joy of homebrewing" which is also a great book & lot of fun to read, but to be honest it is not as up to date as this book. I recommend this book together with "designing great beer" - with this set you'll be able to brew the most common types of beer with very good results.
Excellent homebrew book! - By: Frazer Kennedy, 24 Oct 2007 
The title really does say it all with this book!
I've been brewing for a few years now, & upon getting this book my beers have leapt forward from being usually OK (but still very obviously homebrewed), to being beers that I would be happy to receivein a pub or beer festival...honestly!
This book contains just about everything you could need for any stagein your brewing life. Everything from the beginner's standard 'can & kilo' brews, right up to full grain & everythingin between.
Ingredients, methodology, techniques, equipment, recipes - its all here.
(My only slight criticism is that it is doesn't contain details on 'kegging' your beer, but this is really fairly simple & info can be easily found online for this if you wish.)
Basically this is the only beer homebrew book you will need - I highly recommend it!
