The Theory and Practice of Brewing Michael Combrune

This book contains a classic guide to brewing, with information on ingredients, fermentation, malting, tools and equipment, and all other related aspects. Although old, this timeless volume includes information that will be of considerable utility to the modern reader with an interest in brewing, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Explanation of Technical Terms", "Of Fire", "Of Air", "Of Water", "Of Menstruums of Dissolvents", "Of the Thermometer", "Of the Vine, its Fruits, and Juices", "Of Fermentation in General", "Of Artificial Fermentation", "Of the Nature of Barley", "Of Malting", "Of the Different Properties of Malt, and the number of its Fermentable Parts", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on beer brewing.
