I'm about half-way through this book for the first time. It is very much written with the audience in mind. Why would someone pick up a book like this? Because they want to brew beer. And, chapter one gets you through brewing your first batch. After that, it starts to address the questions that were certainly top of mind with me. How do I brew consistently? How does brewing work? How can I make my own brew?

While reading, I've continued to my second and third batches, enjoying both the brewing and learning.
