Brewing Beer: Problems
Do you want to stop stressing out over your homebrew? Do you want to stop worrying if you've ruined your beer, and whether you'll have to throw out this batch? Do you want to have more FUN and fewer hassles when you brew at home? Do you want to modestly bask in the praise of family and friends, as they sample your latest batch?
"Brewing Beer: Problems" will give you the know-how to do all that.
At some time or another every home brewer will be faced with a batch of beer that doesn't live up to his expectations. This troubleshooting manual allows the homebrewer to figure out what went wrong and prevent future problems before they happen.
In this companion volume to "Homebrew" Hendricks' hit how-to-brew book, "BREWING BEER", the top brewing problems and most frequently asked questions of beer brewing newbies and old hands alike, have been gathered and answered in one easy to understand, simple guide.
Don't forget to check out the third volume in this series: "BREWING BEER: TIPS - 300 Helpful Home Brew Tips, Tricks & Secrets", a collection of advice from experienced brewers, that will make your life much easier.
In "Brewing Beer: Problems" you'll discover the remedies for many homebrew headaches, such as:
* How to avoid fermentation frustration, when it stalls prematurely or simply refuses to start at all.
* How to kick-start fermentation, and not be fooled into bottling too early and risking off flavors and bottle bombs.
* How to recognize 19 of the funkiest tastes and smells that might afflict your beer - what causes them, how to fix them this time and how to prevent them from happening again.
* How to be SAFE when brewing beer. - Set your mind to rest on 7 crucial safety issues of brewing beer at home, like whether or not homebrewed beer can blind or even kill you!
* How to troubleshoot a persistent infection that simply won't go away.
* How to guarantee a great head on your beer.
* How to brew beer at home without landing in jail.
Let me tell you, nothing beats the feeling of blowing the foam off that first glass of your latest batch, tasting it and realizing, “Damn, that's good!” Unless it's sitting back and watching your buddies' eyes light up with amazement, “You! Made THIS?!”
Here's to no more brewing beer problems. Because homebrewing should be “so easy a caveman could do it”. Most of all, I want you to “Relax, Don't Worry, Have A Home Brew!”
