Shameless Plug: "Homebrewing for Dummies" 2nd Edition is now in print and available at most national book store chains. There are new chapters on mead (honey wine), organic brewing and gluten-free brewing, along with lots of new award-winning beer recipes. ***** Beer is my thing. I brew it, I drink it, I evaluate it, I write about it. It's my goal to help beer drinkers become better consumers. The process works best with lots of feedback, so don't be shy about letting me know if my reviews are helpful or not. To date, I have written four books on beer and brewing and I bring two decades of beer evaluation experience to this forum.

If you're wondering what an aleconner is, it's the title given to the official beer taster for the King in Medieval England.
