Palmer – kino-fada.fr Everything and I mean everything you could want to know about water and water chemistry for beer brewing And yes, it s a lot and yes, it s pretty technical and serious stuff Appendix A helps to brush up on some of the high school chemistry terms etc so you can digest the meat of this book, but you re still likely to have your...As a chemist and amateur home brewer, I found this book really entertained Some parts might be a little bit too technical for non chemist home brewers.In this series, Yeast was great, Hops ok, Water seemed less useful Perhapsimportant if I lived in a place where I needed to do .Many things discussed are way over my knowledge, have to reread in the future.This book has a line fairly early on, that says you should be a fairly competent brewer and have a basic knowledge of high school chemistry to understand the concepts of the book, this is true, I would say like most people buying this book I m sort of the former, but high school chemistry was quite a long time ago I read this book twice and there s still a bit of a chapter that I m not 100% on, but I ve learnt enough from the book to be pretty sure what I don t get isn t relevant for me, which This book has a line fairly early on, that says you should be a fairly competent brewer and have a basic knowledge of high school chemistry to understand the concepts of the book, this is true, I would say like most people buying this book I m sort of the former, but high school chemistry was quite a long time ago I read this book twice and there s still a bit of a chapter that I m not 100% on, but I ve learnt enough from the book to be pretty sure what I don t get isn t relevant for me, which is good enough There s a lot of explaining the chemistry and then helpfully there are the equations and quantities for whatever it might be i...If you make beer recreationally or professionally you know that beer is mostly water As part of the Brewing Elements Series, Water is the first book entirely dedicated to brewing water And I want to say that it s essential reading for every homebrewer, but honestly, it probably isn t Most homebrewers either approach the hobby from a artistic brewing standpoint I want to make new and exciting kinds of beer or an engineering standpoint I like to build equipment and fiddle with gadgets If you make beer recreationally or professionally you know that beer is mostly water As part of the Brewing Elements Series, Water is the first book entirely dedicated to brewing water And I want to say that it s essential reading for every homebrewer, but honestly, it probably isn t Most homebrewers either approach the hobby from a artistic brewing standpoint I want to make new and exciting kinds of beer or an engineering standpoint I like to build equipment and fiddle with gadgets Very few people approach brewing from a chemistry standpoint Water is largely a chemistry book Palmer and Kaminski do a great job simplifying and explaining the chemistry involved it s not a book entirely of stochiometry and chemical diagrams But if you re like me, you tend to shut down a little bit whenever a chemical reaction shows up in a ...Excellent resource book for advanced brewing issues For the home brewer the first 7 chapters are most relevant The remaining chapters discuss issues only pertinent to breweries The concensus is that water adjustments can be complex and vary on water supply and style of beer being brewed In practice many home brewers will not go to the depths discussed, however nice to be aware of all the potential implications of water adjustments Synopsis know how water composition affects style and be co Excellent resource book for advanced brewing ...I m sure glad that there aremicrobreweries out there, or this series of books would have never been written Unless you are a chemist, or a REALLY big nerd, the first 140 or so pages of this book are very dense As the authors get into the chapter called Adjusting brewing waters for style, you realize that all of the charts and chemical equasions presented in the fist part...Despite it being a book on water I found it quite dry No pun intended Extremeley useful for anyone into brewing but not very applicable as far as homebrewing goes Fantastic reference for learningabout the process of beer maki...This book is a very extensive look at the impact of water chemistry on the production of beer and some of the modifications a brewer can make It has a lot of chemistry but if you have had basic college level chemistry you ll be able to get by This is a good book for the homebrewe...
