Book - "Brew Chem 101"

Making good beer does not require knowing the science of beer making - but for some, it helps. You don't have to know chemistry to appreciate this book.

Any brewer can understand the basic details of the life of a yeast or the careless steps that produce those annoying off-flavors and learn how to avoid them. Brew Chem 101 features non-technical language and a highly readable style, explanations of the chemical reactions at each stage of the brewing process and how to avoid potential problems, and a primer on beer tasting and judging.
