I wonder what the real benefits are compared with using golden syrup with added caramel if desired. Has anyone done a comparison test?

If anybody's interested, Braumarkt are having a bit of a clear out including this title at 5.98€. I've snapped up my copy and I don't know how many they have left. Not sure they deliver to the UK, though.

Just be careful you don’t order the version in Dutch!

Thanks for the tip. I think it is the Dutch version. Fortunately, I can still struggle through it.

I did take another look and although the shows Dutch (they used to have both versions) the additional info shows English (you have to click on it).

Indeed it does. Just have to wait and see what comes. I'll be happy with either, If I get stuck I can always compare with the online e-edition.

For a couple of years I obtained significant proportions of my brewing requirements from Braumarkt at advantageous prices. Sadly from the end of last year they ceased supplies to UK as trade arrangements changed.

My latest move neccesitated yet another downsizing of my library. This was one of the books that survived the purge.

The book on session beers is one I haven't come across before and looks very interesting indeed. Just had a quick gander at the Amazon sample and there seem to be no recipes for English session beers- not a problem as they exist in abundance, and the introductory section "What is a Session Beer" doesn't seem to tell us what a session beer is. Nevertheless, it looks a fascinating read. Just about to order a copy. Thanks.
