Decent Recipe Book All Grain recommendation please

Post by BrewBoyJoe » Thu Nov 19, 2015 2:24 pm

Hi All,
Can someone recommend a decent recipe book for all grain. Lately I've been into hoppy pale ales of the american variety, but would also be keen to branch out to other styles. Perhaps someone has published a collection of award winning recipe's that I could add to my Christmas list.

Thanks

Joe

Also, the Graham Wheeler Brew Your Own British beer has loads of clone recipes

I'll second all the above +
If you like pale ales Mitch Steele's IPA book is a must

Jamils classic brewing styles (its aimed at extract brewing but does include all grain adaptions of all the recipes)
And
Gordon strongs modern homebrew recipes
Beyond that I would recommend
Radical brewing (not dedicated recipe book, but has plenty in it.)
Designing great beers - Ray daniels

Actually it is the other way around, they all started out as all grain recipes despite the formatting of the book making it look like the reverse.
See here for some info on the recipes from the authors.

+1 to Graham Wheeler's Brew Your Own British beer.

its the only book i have bought and that book and this forum got me brewing and all my brews have either come from that book in the eirly days or inspired by what other people have brewed on here or just made up, I've not yet brewed a bad beer, though theres a few that not come out as expected!

I agree, I do love GW book! The deuchars IPA in particular is an excellent recipe I've made 4 x with a few tweaks and different yeasts! This book has been with me for years and is extremely well thumbed and wort stained! Lately I've been pushing the boat out with American style craft ales and there's not much of that in there.

I will certainly buy the mitch steal IPA and look at some of the other suggestions. In the short term I've decided to buy beersmith and understand there is 100 000 rated recipe's so that all sounds good! I've been sick to death wasting time doing unnecessary calculations and putting up with crap software so taking the radical step to part with hard earned money for that! Thanks to all for your suggestions.
