I'm getting more interested in the science behind brewing beer, but I'm not sure where to start reading. I've read a number of homebrew books, but they've all been relatively light in the science department (except for a couple sections on water chemistry). I was searching the forums and other sites for recommendations, and it looks like there's a gap between casual homebrewing to scientific homebrewing books as far as chemistry goes. A lot of the reviews for something like George Fix's book or mention that they assume some knowledge of those fields. My chemistry knowledge stops at water = H2O.
Is this just a situation where there's not many good books in this transitional area and I'd probably be better off picking up Idiot's Guide to Chemistry to help me along in some of the more advanced books?
