Randy Mosher's Mastering Homebrew is my go-to source for answering some of the questions I have, for generating ideas, and for surveying the boundaries of a given style.  His book has lots of charts, graphs, and illustrations that make it much easier for me to find the info I need as compared to other books on brewing.  I would recommend it to anyone.

I would love to see Designing Great Beers (2^nd Ed.). The book has a lot of really good info on commercial and homebrew recipes, and I'd still recommend it to anyone.  But the market has moved a bunch since 1996. It'd be awesome to see an update with new styles and a refreshed data set.

If it happens, it would have to be by someone other than Ray. He's moved on from beer.

Ah, well. It's probably a losing proposition financially, anyways. It would be a cool protect but with 9000-ish breweries just in the US, it would be a massive data collection, collation, and analysis project ... before you even start trying write it into a book. 😵‍💫

Maybe we could get all the brewers to agree to encode their recipes in the same markup language and then write some automated processing in Python (cuz everyone seems to use now)..... 😉

DGB was about homebrews, not commercial breweries.

There are a lot of stats from commercial recipes in there, too.

But you're right, a larger preponderance of the tables and recipe analysis is from the 2nd Round NHC recipes than I was remembering. I was remembering it as 50/50, but it's more like 85/15 home-to-commercial.

A lot of the commercial stuff I was remembering is historic, too, and wouldn't necessarily need to be redone.

I think your correlation might be inaccurate

Saw this and thought of you. Correlation ≠ Causation




One day, you’ll wake up and there won’t be anymore time to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. Don’t wait. Do it now.

^^^^ LOL

Charlie Bamforth seems to think a low boil isn't a great idea either. But I can reduce my boil quite a bit and still have a rolling boil.

Yeah, that was on my mind.
