The complete resource for brewing beer with farmed and foraged ingredients, featuring over 50 recipes

Forget hops: The revolution in craft beer is taking place in gardens, farmer’s markets, and deep in the woods outside rural towns across the country. It’s beer that offers a sense of place, incorporating locally sourced and seasonally harvested ingredients into traditional (and untraditional) farmhouse-style beers. The Homebrewer's Almanacis a practical guide for those who are interested in incorporating fresh and foraged ingredients into their beer, written by the brewers of one of the country’s hottest new breweries. Recipes include:
  • Sweet Potato Vienna Lager 
  • Chanterelle Mushroom Saison
  • Nettle Spicebush Ale
  • Sumac Sour Ale
  • Basil Rye Porter

Each chapter offers an overview of what plants to look for in your region, as well as how to harvest and how to preserve them. A brewing guide in the modern DIY tradition with a touch of the retro farmer’s almanac, The Homebrewer's Almanac will be a staple in homebrewers’ libraries and a source of year-round inspiration.

    This book is fantastic! The brewers who wrote this are so creative, it makes one wonder where their ideas come from. Interested in how to brew the next hazy IPA with 5 varieties of hops that all taste pretty much the same? This book ain't for you. This book covers foraged and garden ingredients like dandelions, burdock, rhubarb, oak (all parts!), and the list goes on. If you want to brew a beer that is truly yours, look to this book for inspiration. Paired with Randy Mosher's Radical Brewing, the possibilities are endless.

    A good read, highly recommended for the foraging, survivalist brewer. If you brew and live near a source for the ingredients listed in some of these recopies, good luck to you. I am planning on trying a few of these flavoring techniques on small batches of mead. Was not a waste of money for someone who wants a deeper knowledge of flavoring your home brew.

    Das Buch kann ich jedem nahelegen, der Inspiration für das Brauen von außergewöhnlichen Bieren zu jeder Jahreszeit sucht. Lediglich die amerikanischen Maß- und Temperatureinheiten sind für mich als Mitteleuropäer etwas verwirrend. Ansonsten ist das Buch der Hammer. Freue mich schon auf den ersten Versuch mit Lavendel.
