Here’s my library of homebrewing books. I’ve been doing a bunch of reading between the latest fermentation experiments and preparing for the BJCP exam. Some of these books I got as gifts, some as a toss in for free Amazon shipping, so I forget what I’ve got sometimes. And no, I haven’t read all these. The “good” ones I’ve gone through with a highlighter, some I’ve read a few times. Some I’ve just used as a topic reference, and others are untouched and waiting for a rainy day/trip.
So, I put them all together and figured I might as well put them up here. As time goes on I’ll do mini reviews of them, but for now, here’s the bibliography. I’ve linked them to Amazon, and there’s some good deals on used books for some of these older ones. As a bonus, if you buy from clicking here, I get a nickel or something.
If you’ve got a suggestion, let me know!

The tables, including tables describing the flavor of different maltsters' grains, are especially handy. Worth having in any brewing library.
