Historical Companion to House Brewing

Wonderful olde worlde receipes for brewing that have been scaled down to accomodate the Homebrewer.
When I bought this book Clive actually sent me a hop root that thrived and I had many a good harvest from.
Burton on trent seems to be his favourite place for brewing because of the water ph.He describes in good detail how to manipulate your own supply to emulate such and other waters to achieve the perfect brew.Just wish I could find my original copy,which had black and white cover with a picture of a woman making beer in a large tub.I believe these copies were I believe somewhat knocked up in his back room, well worth getting!!
