The Private Brew Masters Guide Book (Lost Master Keys of the Homebrewery 7)

Practical Brewing, offers no more than plain and useful instruction to those who are not too wise to be instructed-to teach a plain and certain way of producing a sound and wholesome beverage without waste. He presumes not to teach the learned, nor to introduce any thing that is not easy to be comprehended by the plainest understanding. He enters little into improvements in machinery-the instructions he has given, are, for what he calls, handwork, which may be followed from a two, four, or ten quarter mash tun to a larger one ... He assures his readers that no nostrums, or pretended secrets, will be found in this work ; and at the same time, honestly and plainly tells them, that there is no secret in the art of Brewing, but to know how-and that knowledge is only to be obtained by attention and practice. The Author further asks permission to state, that he is a Brewer, and not a Grammarian of course, he implores mercy for the literary errors he may have committed.
