The Guide to Craft Brewing explains how to brew your own beer in clear and straightforward terms, making this popular and rewarding hobby accessible to all.

John Alexander supped his first pint of home-brewed beer in 1970 and was hooked. He readily mastered the techniques involved in brewing with malt extract and cereals, and quickly moved on to mashing, brewing wholly from malt and adjuncts. He has also specialised in 'beer from the wood' since 1979 and has perfected the real ale recipes included in this book. Resident: Dundee
