For the advanced intermediate home brewer Review by Brandon (Posted on 10/17/12): Product Rating:

Once you have the basics of all grain down, read this.
It goes into things in more depth. If you read it before brewing all grain a few times you wont absorb as much.

A fantastic book.
Advanced beer making Review by Andy (Posted on 12/8/12): Product Rating:

This book covers things like hops in such detail that a beginner will get little out of it. Only after a year or two of brewing will you appreciate the depth of coverage. A great book, but only after you have been brewing for a couple of years.
Great book! Review by Brendan (Posted on 12/31/12): Product Rating:

If you're an all grain brewer that's been doing it for a while, this will really help you out. It's a great book that goes in depth with the ingredients and chemistry of beer making.
Best beer making book available Review by Ed (Posted on 1/8/13): Product Rating:

This is for the experienced brewer. Extract brewers and rookies will not absorb all the detailed advice (you will read it and forget it).
Very good coverage of grains, and hops. Not a recipe book.
Not for beginners Review by Jon (Posted on 1/28/13): Product Rating:

This is home brewing for experts. This is the book to read once you have gotten your feet wet. Gordon Strong explains a lot about hops and hops oils and how to use them and what to look for. This is not a rehash of what you see in other books, be prepared to learn.
Step up your brewing Review by Andy (Posted on 2/16/13): Product Rating:

Once you have mastered the basics, and have been brewing of all grain for a while, and are ready to move on, this is the book. This book covers many topics in great depth. I reread it every year, each time picking up something new.
Learn how to brew better Review by Farzan (Posted on 2/21/13): Product Rating:

This book taught me some of the finer points, such as how to adjust my water salts, how to utilize hops more effectively, and about various grains and yeast. One of the best brewing books out there.
Great resource Review by Ben (Posted on 3/6/13): Product Rating:

This is one of the best books for recipe formulation. If you decide to stop brewing from kits and creating your own recipes, this book will help guide you.
Long read...LOTS of information Review by mark (Posted on 3/8/13): Product Rating:

While this book is very informative, it can lose you very easily. It's packed with dry information, mathematical calculations to figure your beer out and so on. NOT FOR THE BEGINNING BREWER!
If you already into all grain, established and looking to compete...sure buy it.
The most important book on brewing I've read Review by Jude (Posted on 3/10/13): Product Rating:

Palmers How to Brew got me started, but this took my brewing to the next level. There is something for everyone, and no matter how advanced you are, you will learn a ton from reading and re-reading this book. I'm about to re-read it for the fourth time. The chapter on hops is worth the price of the book.
