A decent enough, serviceable, very quick explanation and breezy ease-read on "the art of [home]brewing". Much of the information in here is either 1) common knowledge for anyone whose done any bit of research on home brewing, 2) better applied from say John Palmer's book or any others, or 3) directed towards extract rather than all-grain brewing. But still an easy and quick guide for those starting. ( )

Summer Beer, p.45, pretty good, WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch.

A no-frills, no-nonsense handbook to brewing your beer. Moore doesn't muck around with lengthy details on each step; he gives you just enough to turn that bag of DME into drinkable ale. The recipe design chapter is chock full of helpful formulas and suggestions. ( )
