Which book to buy next

[doctorRobert]

Palmer was a one-hit wonder. Love his book, but.

Whats that even mean? Knocking him because he only wrote one book? Its not even a book, originally, but a website so good it got published.

You know exactly what it means. Actually, I really do love his book. What I've seen or heard of him since, though, has been disappointing and shallow. Like I said: one-hit-wonder. That is not meant in the least to minimize his contribution. I repeat: I love his book.

You can most likely find those books at Multnomah library or do an interlibrary loan. Borrow them, read them and decide what you want to own if any. I've got Radical on loan at the moment and at some point I think I will buy it. But most of the books are fine for me to read but I really don't refer to them much so owning them is not for me.

Not a fan of brewing classic styles or what? Guess i havent seen what you have.

I am a big fan of Brewing Classic Styles. I think, though, that Jamil brought Palmer along for the ride on that one. Palmer covered the cursory treatment of process, and Jamil wrote the recipe and style stuff, which is the real strength of the book.

Palmer has more than one book. Don't forget that he helped write brewing classic styles which is the best recipe book available.

Pure speculation. I think he probably helped out more on the lagers than you think. Also, many recipes are different than jamils previous ones for some styles.

But what has he done lately so bad that you have to go out of your way to knock him?

Im not a fan of Moshers latest book but im not going to knock him for that it probably outsells radical.

Not speculating. The introduction of BCS outlines which author handled what parts. And I'm NOT KNOCKING HIM. I think he wrote a really great book.

Good idea...I always forget about the library.

I am going to give up my resource for many books I buy, My local Good Will. Sure they are used, and a PITA to look for in the bizzaro book world inside but I can't help looking for decent books. I have found "The Idiots guide to Home Brewing", still wishing I would have bought it just for the sake of having it and recently and "The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing". $3 each...

I am also going to post up an interesting book that goes hand in hand with this hobby and it is: "The Beer Lover's Cookbook" by John Schlimm. 300+ recipes that all use beer...
