American Sour Beer – Book!

[TrickyDick]

You guys stink! I pre ordered months ago, but when I found out about the AHA pre sale 40% off! I thought I'd get it earlier that way so I cancelled the amazon order.

Received my copy last night! I was hooked by the first paragraph:

I am not a religious person, but if there were a god I imagine it to be something like a brewer: setting conditions that yield pleasing results.

Awesome! I had a hard time putting it down last night. Great job, Michael!

Where did you order yours from? I went through AHA. Hope I get mine within the next week.

It was a gift from a friend, I'll find out where he ordered it from.

Its here!

 

[Bensiff]

If you have amazon prime it's cheaper than the aha preorder due to shipping costs.

 

[thatjonguy]

Mine will be here Tuesday.

 

[Bithead]

Mine shipped. No delivery date yet.

 

[ndsgr]

Arriving tomorrow. All of a sudden, I can't remember what was on the honey to do list...

 

[goodwood]

I can't wait! this has been pre ordered for a while. I will probably do two back to back batches after I read this. I know I will be trying a turbid mash.

 

[Arrheinous]

Just got my copy in the mail this weekend.

I'll be taking it out to Sonoma CA for reading material. Hopefully I'll get to cross paths with Russian River.

I am cruising through this thing at warp speed.

Glad so many people have received their copies! Hope everyone enjoys the book, gets inspired to start a few new batches of sour beer (not that you needed help), and learns a few things!

If you enjoy it: consider writing a review, telling your homebrewing club/shop, or posting about it. Every little bit helps, and it sends a message to Brewer's Publications about the sort of books homebrewers want to read!

If you catch any typo's or issues, please let me know ASAP. There will be an ebook in a few months and I'll be able to get any minor edits in at that point. Thanks again!

I read it cover to cover this weekend. Really great resource, and well written too.

One possible typo I spotted on p.186. You say that the lowest pH Yakobson tested in his trials was 3.08. I haven't checked this, but I think that should be 3.80?

That was actually the correct pH per Chad's website: http://brettanomyces.wordpress.com/

"Control 0 mg/l
Starting pH=4.95
100 mg/l
Starting pH= 4.55
500 mg/l
Starting pH=4.05
1,000 mg/l
Starting pH=3.75
3,000 mg/l
Starting pH=3.08"

My copy showed up last night. So far a great read. I have an out of town meeting tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to hiding in my hotel room and immersing myself in it tonight!

Congats!

Oops, my bad! Should have checked that first.

Got a date with the mechanic sometime in the next couple days... I'll definitely have a chance to finish the book around then.

I really like how the book plainly states things. There's no threads full of conjecture to sort through. 'This is what they do, here's a damn chart to show you. And the pros/cons of it.' Very helpful since I'm starting to sour mash and Brett everything now.

Got mine yesterday! Can't wait to start reading this thing.

Anyone ordering through AHA get their copy yet? Feeling pretty dumb canceling my amazon order, thinking presale would mean I get it sooner....

Yep, got it back on 6/9 along with a copy of the Yeast book.

 

[TrickyDick]

Called. Mine shipped on Thursday last week. Odd. Hopefully I'll have it soon.

1 or 2 very minor typos I'll have to dig up what page they were on

 

[TrickyDick]

Mine was waiting for me at home tonight. Read through first chapter sipping a duchess du B. Don't ask me to spell it! So far a lovely read. Soaking it up for sure. Thanks Michael!

Mine is at the ups facility, will be hee tomorrow!

Already got a few sours lined up, but I'm sure I'll get more inspiration.
