Reddit reviews Brooklyn Brew Shop's Beer Making Book: 52 Seasonal Recipes for Small Batches

I've been doing a lot of BIAB 1 gallon recipes lately. It's fun to experiment and it's so cheap for the ingredients!

Highly recommend this book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0307889203?pc_redir=1411852628&robot_redir=1

Brooklyn Brew shop has some
books
that are pretty good. Ive done a couple of the recipes. Sometimes the yeast suggestions are pretty basic. One of the books has a few recipes done with breweries. Like a clone of Evil Twin's Christmas Eve At A New York City Hotel Room.

I got mine used off amazon and it’s just called the Beer Making Book. Has 52 seasonal recipes

My stuff were gifts actually. That being said, I know they were acquired at Wine Kits (as its right near our place). As for bottles, I bought $120 worth of Grolsch beer and have been reusing the bottles ever since (flip-tops, super easy to reseal). So far I've only made beer from kits (pre-made wort), but I want to venture in to realm of doing it from scratch. I got this book for xmas a couple years ago, and they explain the process really simply. http://www.amazon.ca/Brooklyn-Brew-Shops-Beer-Making/dp/0307889203 They even sell 1 gallon packages with everything you need at Indigo.

I made a peanut butter porter and it turned out surprisingly well. Recipe can be found in Brooklyn Brew shops beer making book. Think the secret was using natural peanut butter, which separates. I was able to drain almost all of the head and equipment hurting oils and the result was amazing. I even had a German drink it and he only hated it a little.

Along those lines, Brooklyn Brew Shop has a book with some great small batch recipes. Definitely worth checking out. I loved starting with their kit (for a batch) and then moving away from the kits but still using recipes before starting to make my own.

I got that kit for my boyfriend last year, we really enjoyed how easy it was for two complete novices. We then bought this recipe book, which is really awesome after you want to try brewing without a pre-made mix. 52 small batch all-grain recipes, I'm brewing up the Winter Wheat right now!

I definitely agree with that book recommendation. This is a good one too, by the same authors and also has the footnotes for scaling up to 5 gallons.

While it won't help you convert down, I am using a book from the Brooklyn Brewshop that is designed for small batches. Amazon link.

Each recipe also gives instructions on how to make a 5 gallon batch if you want to go bigger.
