I bought this book for my husband and it was quite possibly the best thing I could have done! It has in depth descriptions of beer and recipes that allow you to recreate most of the beers you can buy in the store both here in NZ and from all over the world. It does mention ingredients that initially seemed hard to source in NZ but after a chat with a chap at the local brewing co-op my husband this was remedied and he is now happily on his way to creating his own worts and brews in my laundry! A happy husband makes a happy wife! And the taste testing isn't that bad either!
