From the Foreword

All the insight is laid out for you in a comprehensive format that includes tips, hints, examples,

techniques, recipes, analogy, and allegory. Brewing Better Beer is the one book the experienced

homebrewers need to up their game.

�is book �ows along the lines of analogy, technique, and practice. It discusses the tools available

without judgment and examines the reason why they help support your own senses and abilities of

evaluation. When delving into techniques Gordon delivers a conversation couched in philosophy

as well as technical detail.—Michael “Mufasa” Ferguson

Director of Brewery Operations, BJ’s Restaurants Inc.

In addition to its relaxed and generous tone, what sets this book apart is its insistent focus on what's

important for the homebrewer. Like a great beer it's extremely well-balanced—a mix of technical,

practical and creative advice, that if taken to heart, will make your beer a whole lot better.

—Randy Mosher

yeastThe Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation

Chris White with Jamil Zainasheff

From the Foreword

“… loads of sound information and techniques that will work for brewers at all levels, from beginning homebrewers to production brewers at any sized brewery. Included are fantastic tips for working with all kinds of yeast strains and beer styles, introducing new strains, and how to use best brewing and lab practices to keep your yeast healthy and your beer tasting great.”

– Mitch Steele, Head Brewer/Production ManagerStone Brewing Company

“These authors recommend that brewers become yeast whisperers so that cat-like yeasts may be treated right and so love them by produc-ing �ne beers!! In seven sections the book provides much sound practical advice about yeasts for advanced home brewers and craft brewers without getting entangled in more yeast biology or brewing science than is strictly necessary.”

– Michael J. Lewis, Professor Emeritus of Brewing Science, University of California Davis and Academic Director

of Brewing Programs in UCD Extension

“This is a great addition to brewing literature and it should �nd its way on to the bookshelves of every eager brewer.”

– Charlie Bamforth, Professor, Department of Food Science & Technology,
