Sam Caligone's "Extreme Brewing"
A good, basic book for new brewers with hints and tips for more experienced brewers. If you haven’t brewed before and want to get started quickly, this is a great option. Loaded with pictures and experience from some of America’s best Craft Brewers. The author, Sam Calagione, is the owner and brew master for Dogfish Head Brewery and his knowledge of and passion for beer shine through.
As a more experienced brewer you will get the most benefit from the sections on Beer Pairing (with Cheese or Chocolate), recipes for beer and food recipes featuring beer.
While this may be a good, quick way to start your first batch, for new brewers that are techincally inclined, or more detailed orinted I recommend John Palmers “How to Brew” and Stephen Snyder’s “The Brewmaster’s Bible“
