<DIV><BR></DIV> I have had the misfortune to go through the
book mentioned below and simply can't recommend it for folks interested in
making historical ales. The author recommends the use of a couple
of herbs that are dangerous and obviously has a poor understanding of
the chemistry involved in brewing and malting. He writes not from
the perspective of a antiquarian researcher but rather a new age
herbalist. Although i have not attempted to make any of his recipes
several appear at first blush to be rather poorly conceived.
<BR> A fine writer belongs to this list named Cindy Renfrow
who has written some of the finest material available on historical
brewing. Her web site is: www.thousandeggs.com. Another good
source for information is the archives of this list.
