William Bostwick is a writer and beer critic. He likes brewing old-school styles like heather beers (but understands why some of them have gone extinct). Jessi Rymill is a designer and editor. She collects labels and bottle caps and wonders why the beers with the weirdest designs usually taste the best. Together, they live, work, and brew in Brooklyn and San Francisco.
"Beer Craft is a terrific primer for anyone looking to enter the endlessly fascinating world of homebrewing. Authors William and Jessi struck a perfect balance: Beer Craft is both quite educational while being effortless to follow!" --Greg Koch, co-founder and CEO, Stone Brewing Co."Bostwick and Rymill demystify the esoteric process of homebrewing. ... The genius of this book is that it takes an incredibly complex topic and boils it down to quaffable parts without dumbing down the key points of becoming a serious homebrew honcho." --Food and Wine"The ReadyMade magazine-style guide in retro pop-art tones boasts brilliantly colored charts, graphs, and illustrations that could revolutionize homebrewing." --Edible Brooklyn"A new kind of guide ... Offers insight for everyone. Laminate your copy so it can live forever on your countertop." --Beer Advocate"Bostwick and Rymill streamline beermaking into a simpler, cheaper, and less daunting task: brewing by the gallon. ... In this writer's experience, homebrew shopkeepers often encourage beginner brewers to first try their hand at pale ales, browns, or IPAs. But Beer Craft, true to the current era of creative and "extreme" brewing, pushes readers to explore." --SF Weekly"This is the book I wish I'd had back when I made my first homebrew. With it, the greenest homebrewer could go into the kitchen with confidence and make great beer. ... Highly recommended for anyone thinking about starting to homebrew. Advanced brewers might also consider picking up a copy just for the great reference charts on malt varieties, types of hop, yeasts, and basic recipe formulas." --Apartment Therapy"Beer Craft is like Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything--just for homebrew hobbyists. Unlike the homebrew books that have come before, Beer Craft is designed for urban DIYers living in small, city apartments. Even if you don't plan on making your own beer, the design, interesting facts, and plain readability of the book makes its worth adding to your library." --Dwell
