<P><EM>Essays in Malting and Brewing</EM> is an original and comprehensive examination of brewing from the perspective of a real brewer. Brewing texts generally use a sequential barley-beer-bottle organization that takes the reader systematically through the various stages of beer-making in a logical and informative way. This approach adequately communicates the essential operation. However, brewers think about all of the stages in the process that might affect a single property, such as beer color. Alternatively brewers might ponder the influence of such affective agents as modification or oxygen throughout the process.</P><P><EM>Essays in Malting and Brewing</EM> departs from the traditional sequential approach to pursue brewing in the manner a brew master approaches the process. It is structured to look down the length of the process for causes and effects. Each essay discusses a problem, a beer component, or a flavor, by following how this one item arises and how it changes along the way. This is a crucial feature to bear this in mind when reading the book because this organization brings together information and ideas that are not usually presented side-by-side. The essay format allows the reader to understand how the raw materials of brewing and the way they are handled impact on process performance and product quality.</P><P>This new approach to an enduring subject is essential for the informed reader interested in the malting and brewing process.</P>

This book is an original and comprehensive examination of brewing from the perspective of a real brewer. It incorporates the latest ideas from published research and from conversations with researchers and practical brewers alike.
