"Al Korzonas has become well-known in recent years for his extensive participation in electronic forums such as The Homebrew Digest. He has patiently fielded questions from beginning brewers and has been widely praised for his assistance. This experience has given him a particular sensitivity to the needs of elementary and intermediate brewers, and to issues other authors often take for granted. All of this is well-captured in this book and those who are looking for a well-written introduction can do no better than this one."
