Why read it?

1 author picked The Complete Joy of Homebrewing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Everything you need is inside, from the history of beer to how to do it yourself, plus loads and loads of recipes for more serious beer brewing.

From Ruthie's list on learning about beer.
