I aspire to become an AG brewer but whilst I continue pour my tin of LME into hot water I do like a good read...
Surfing Amazon and reading a few reviews it is suggested I buy the CAMRA Guide to Homebrewing, is this as well as the Brew Your Own British Real Ale
by same author.
Is the £110 price tag for the book below a typo or is it no longer in print and widely sought after???
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Camra-Guide-Bre ... 947&sr=1-2
Is there a recommended reading area on this awesome site? I've read A Guide to Craft Brewing (Paperback)
by John Alexander and whilst very good was a bit dated, it advised i skim crust of top which i think is now not recommended.
Thanks
Graham Wheeler Book - which one???

Get the new edition with updated brewing notes,info and the recipes tweaked and improved for about £10-£12 delivered. Avoid those old copies unless you're a collector

That is the question . .
Whether to suffer the slings and arrows of . . . .
Sorry got a little carried away there
. . . It is a personal decision, many do skim the initial head that forms which carry away a lot of the trub and break protein . . . others leave it in place (I do, but that is a problem with my FV otherwise I would be tempted to skim)
