Brew Chem 101 features: -- Nontechnical language and a highly readable style -- Explanations of the chemical reactions at each stage of the brewing process and how to avoid potential problems -- A primer on beer tasting and judging Book News Annotation:In nontechnical language, explains the chemical reactions of each
stage of the brewing process and how to avoid potential problems that
