My Review For The DIY Beer Brewing: Creating Your First Homebrew by Rockridge Press

DIY Beer Brewing by Astrid Cook is a great read & a starting point for a beginner brewer..

In the beginning of the book Astrid Cook touches base on beer brewing & a very detailed step by step process for first time home brewers. I love how much thought she put into this book & how much knowledge she squeezed into it. Considering its only 95 pages long! She also provides a well detailed list of websites for home brewing events, online communities along with where to buy equipment from. My favorite part of this entire book would have to be chapter 2 pages 24-25, Astrid Cook tells us the history behind brewing & home brewing. I'm talking she goes back to 10000 BC which is pretty neat to me & she even added in a timeline showing the dates in which things happened. I learned some things I never knew prior to reading DIY Beer Brewing. She even provides a first time home brewing recipe for beginners. This recipe won't take nearly as long as other recipes! And once you perfect the beginners recipe there are tons more recipes which are more advanced. 

I love how well Astrid Cook illustrates not only the equipment we need, but also the different ingredients we need such as hops(in cone or pellet form), malt (in grains or extract format) or yeast (dry or liquid).

I definitely think this book would be a great buy for yourself or for someone who is interested in becoming a home brewer. Even if your slightly interested this book will really help with helping you decide if its something you want to pursue or not! Easy to read & Astrid Cook even put a Glossary in the back which begins on page 86-91. The index follows right after which starts on page 92-94!
