Mosher's own home brewing system in his Chicago home is a 15-gallon electronically control*led, mechanically stirred mash tun, with a pressurized power lautering system. He is also active in the Chicago Beer Society, one of the country's oldest and largest beer clubs. He is probably the first person known to have brewed a beer with mushrooms in it. Mosher began home-brewing in 1984. Since that time he has written and lectured extensively to national audiences on such diverse brewing topics as record-keeping, malt, beer styles, brewing with herbs and spices, and brewing equipment. His professional experience as a graphic designer has made it possible to create a book that presents information in a highly graphical manner—making it unique among brewing books.
