Budding Brewer !
A 3rd of the way through this.
Great read for those just starting to expand their brew knowledge.

You've given away enough information with that - Without knowing what chillies are you could guess they mess about with your bot bot! So I don't cook with laxatives much but I know super spicy things make me spew lava out of my Dartford, I'm guessing they're hot.But then it's still subjective and based on experience. ...I think it's a great idea to put at least 2 scotch bonnet chillies in a curry...most people (and my bottom )...disagree!
No - will have a look for it. Thanks.Have you tried James Morton’s book Brew ?
I find Mastering Homebrew by Randy Mosher does a good job of describing what different ingredients bring to the party. The problem is there are too many recipes, ingredients and ways to achieve things, for one book to do what you want. The beauty of Ray Daniels Designing Great Beers is that pulls together a lot of recipes to create a loose set of guidelines for different styles. When getting into creating recipes I found this a good resource to check recipes against, safeguarding against mistakes whilst encouraging creativity and making a recipe unique. Far better than recipe books, which I find hold little relevance unless you've tasted the corresponding beer. Unfortunately there are no quick fixes, no substitute for experience or trial and error. Best way to learn to brew your own recipes IMHO is to start with a SMaSH recipe then make one or two identifiable changes. And don't expect to make a perfect beer every time.I think it's a terrible book. For me it was more like a spreadsheet. I haven't found a book yet that breaks down a recipe and tells you what each component brings to that particular beer. Unless you're already familiar with the ingredients then recipes are just words. Imagine reading a food recipe with ingredients you've never heard of - it's just a list of words. Almost all books tell you how, but not why.
Rah! Just got that but not too far in yet because of doing things like building tree-houses that will get bored of in 8 minutes. No, not for me to play in, sadly.I find Mastering Homebrew by Randy Mosher does a good job of describing what different ingredients bring to the party.
Aye, but at least give some per book.The problem is there are too many recipes, ingredients and ways to achieve things, for one book to do what you want.

Yes. I've got 'Dens for Dummies', 'Planks for Planks', 'Hammers for Spanners' and 'Branches for Bellends'.Did you read any good books about building tree houses ?
Yes. I've got 'Dens for Dummies', 'Planks for Planks', 'Hammers for Spanners' and 'Branches for Bellends'.
And somebody seems like they read very precisely "How to point things out done wrong by people after they've done it and not suggest it before hand because well it seemed obvious".
