The Complete Practical Brewer’s Bible (Lost Master Keys of the Homebrewery Book 3)

IN offering this work to the public, I do not lay claim to originality, or profess to be giving information that is in itself entirely new, as a reason for preparing a book on the subject; but I claim that I have prepared a book which has long been called for, and which has never been obtained before - A Complete PRACTICAL BREWER. Much valuable information on the subject of Brewing bas been imparted in large books, such as Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, etc., and one or two large works exclusively on this subject have been written in Europe; but the great fault in all those is that they are too voluminous; and of course, being of such size, they were sold at a corresponding price, which, in many instances, was objectionable. Besides the price, there was still greater objection-too much matter had to be looked over to obtain the plain, simple processes of brewing; and those who were seeking information on the subject, would become fatigued and worn out before perusing such large volume. And even when carefully studied, there was so much idle speculation intermingled with useful facts, that it was almost impossible to arrive at correct conclusions. In the present volume, everything that is practical and useful has been given, and all idle speculation dispensed with which could not benefit the brewer in his operations of making Beer, Porter, &c. The process of making all kinds of Small Beers, which has not been spoken of before in any scientific work on Brewing, is here given in detail, and must prove of great practical utility.
