Received Gordon Strong's Modern Homebrew Recipes today, hopefully make a start on it this evening.

Scored another couple cheap on an auction site. Enjoy looking at the recipes and combining/tweaking them...

I'm a bit on a book buying spree I fear. I decided that it would be pretty sweet to have the classic beer styles series on my shelves. Also a German Beer competition from my home brew group led me to buy Prost!

These arrived today. Have branched out to making my own recipes so soaking up info on ingredients like mad...

Unfortunately you might want to take "Prost!" with more than a pinch of salt.

Added these two to the collection. Although Vintage Beer is aimed at the drinker/collector, there's some pretty useful information if you're wanting to brew a keeper.

Yea, his takes are a bit liberal. So is the whole mythos around Saisons.. Beer writers tend to have that tendency it seems.
I did get some more books in the classic beer styles. I ordered the hard to find and out of print Lambic in an online secondhand book store. So my chances of completing the series went up by a lot. (still needs to arrive so not on the picture).
Lastly I got some books on home distilling. I'm not sure if this is a topic for this forum though so I'll leave it at that.
All books were carefully inspected by our cat Barley.
Have ordered Stan Hieronymus' Brewing Wheat With Wheat book.

I started with the Big Book of Brewing by Dave Line. That was all I used for years. Then Brewing Beers Like Those You Buy, also by Dave Line.
Then Charlie Papazian's Complete Joy of Homebrewing, and now (for the last 10 years) How To Brew by John Palmer.
I have enjoyed using all of them.
Cheers

Adding two more to the shelf that arrived in the mail today.
I listened to a Beersmith podcast about hops with Scott Janish. It was a real eye opener so I picked up his book. He has read and summarised a stack of scientific studies on hop flavours and aromas. While the book is focussed on IPAs, I am sure it will have universal use.
