So I was perusing brewing books online and noticed that some had the phrase "....for the advanced home brewer". Now I have read John Palmers "How To Brew" and Charlie Papazian's "The Complete Joy...." I have done a few extract brews and will be attempting my first AG next week. My question is, at what point does one become "advanced"??? Is merely doing AG advanced? Is creating your own recipes advanced? Are you advanced when you know all about the various enzymes, when to protein rest, best temps for rests for certain beers, if you raise your own yeast, the characteristics of various hops.....etc.? I ask only because I'm wondering when/if I should bother picking up one of these "advanced" HB books.
