Classic Style Series - Altbier
BK470K
While Germany may be best known for its many fine lagers, it would certainly be remiss to ignore the fine tradition of German ale brewing. In Altbier, Horst D. Dornbusch is only too eager to discuss every detail and aspect of this delicious beer. Beginning with an outstanding history section, Dornbusch, amongst other things, analyzes the close relationship between ale and lager with respect to German brewing. While lager may comprise the lion?s share of German brewing today, the author is sure to prove that ale is in no way inferior. History aside, Dornbusch has also written an excellent manual for all things Alt. From types of equipment to use, to hop and yeast choice, to fermentation methods, Dornbusch presents everything in an easy to follow yet profoundly informative manner.
Classic Beer Style Series are great books on individual styles. They include history, style definition, recipes, and countless tips.
