 Wealth of Wheat Brewing Know How April 19, 2010
Charles Jason Osicka (Parker, CO)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book, well thought out, source of wheat brewing history and knowledge. Great book for beginner to advanced home brewer. It really appealed to my tastes since I'm a professional engineer working in the beer, wine and fermented beverage industries. There's not much technically but once you read it, go back and reread as there is a wealth of hidden technical information from which to extrapolate hidden brewing secretes. I use this book as a source for wheat brewing and wheat recipe development. This is a must-have for any serious brewer.

Homebrewers familiar with Stan's excellent "Brew Like a Monk" will be immediately in familiar territory with this book. The writing is engaging and personal, and draws attention to the importance of each brewer's individuality in creating the diversity of wheat beer styles around the world; the reader gets to know many people while reading the book.
Rather than being a recipe book of steps to follow, this book fills the role of spending time with both the brewers who make these beers, and an experienced beer writer who can help collate the massive amount of knowledge and opinion out there about how to create them. "Brewing With Wheat" is not only about how to brew a good wheat beer, but also about why the featured brewers think these are best practices.
There is certainly technical information, but without being prescriptive. Stan assumes the readers of this book are already good brewers who can think about what is being made and adapt ideas to their own systems and preferences. And yet, as specific as some information is, it avoids telling you what to do. That will certainly be frustrating for some, but it is exactly how I think about my brewing. I'm looking forward to this book getting as shopworn as "Brew Like a Monk" has become.

This book is good if you want to learn some history of wheat brewing but if you think you can use insights to help make a better wheat beer look elsewhere.
