It is a shame that I bought this off of the bargain rack at Barnes & Noble. After Joy of Home Brewing this should be a staple for those wanting to go beyond clone beers. The author (who also owns Dogfish Head brewery) takes only the first 1/3 of the book to explain the brewing process. The rest is devoted to helping you innovate and experiment in the new class of American craft brewing. Explanations are clear and concise with little filler text. Most importantly are the large, clear color p

A great homebrewing book for the beginner to intermediate brewer. Nice pictures, solid techniques and easy to understand. Very well laid out with some of Dogfish Head's classic recipes. The recipes look very interesting, but I have yet to brew any of them straight from the book. I do wish that it was a bit more oriented towards the all grain brewing crowd.

There was some good information in this book to complement my Charlie Papazian books on brewing and I really hope I can try some of the recipes since I love Dogfish Head beers so much and Sam Calagione is the Brewer God of Dogfish Head.

great brewer, but book is not really for beginners. Recipes probably good, but more advanced.

The author’s Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware is known for its brash and unique brews, such as Midas Touch (an ancient recipe from the 8th Century BC brewed with Muscat grapes, honey, and saffron) and Raison D’Être (Belgian-style brown ale brewed with beet sugar and raisins). Extreme Brewing includes home-brewing recipes for classic ales and lagers, but focuses on hybrid styles that also use fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. Plenty of information is provided about equipment, ingredients, and

An excellent source of recipes for those looking to brew beer that is a bit different from other recipes found in most beer making books. Easy read, very informative for the beginner and seasoned home brewer.

I've only skimmed it, but it looks like a great book for brew at home. Now, I just need a basement and some brewing equipment. Any thoughts on what my brewery name should be? :-)

We just made an imperial stout... this book is neat but a little too out there for where we are now.

I'm brewing my 3rd beer from this book. I hope it turns out as good as the first 2.

I've only made a few things from this book, but the ones that I've made have turned out great. He's also got some good insight into the concept of "Extreme" beers.
