I am getting ready to put my 4th batch on this weekend. I have learned a "TON" simply from this site and talking with a good friend that brews as well. I have realized here lately that there is still so much I still don't know.
As of right now (and for a little while longer) I plan on doing simple extract brews from MoreBeer.com to learn what a basic/simple recipe will taste like and the processes of creating them (I do in fact plan on going to Partial Mash soon). My way of thinking is learn from the ground up. I am in fact very new to homebrew as well as trying different beers. I am/was one of those Coors Light, Miller Light, and occasional Shiner Bock drinkers not to long ago. My wife thinks I'm nuts because I am bringing something new home all the time to "Just Try" here lately....(She just don't get it...lol)
Well, I am looking for a good book that will explain to me what exactly everything is when it comes to beer. I get lost when folks talk about a lot of ingredients used in making a brew, different styles of beers, what exactly this or that should taste like, etc..... I do know how to do it, but not sure what everything else is. I think it is chocked up mostly to very little personal references, and lack of knowledge (or something like that...lol) I just need a good book (or books) to help get me on track.
Thanks for any input......
