Indian Corn (or Maize) in The Manufacture of Beer (IBN - History of Brewing Series) (Volume 5)

In today’s world of craft brewing, beer adjuncts like corn and rice have come to earn a bad name, as they have been seen as a way for the large, mega-brewers to cut costs by substituting cheaper ingredients, like rice and corn. Though the economics of large-scale brewing may make this true to some extent, a careful review of brewing history makes it clear that this was not always the case.This all-new, updated edition of this classic book explains that other grains, like corn for example—carefully selected and moderately used—could be counted upon to provide useful and specific advantages in brewing; modifying alcohol content, improving stability, and providing consistency in taste.

The London and Country Brewer (History of Brewing Series) (Volume 2)

This is a new edition of a work on brewing originally published in 1736. With the explosion of interest in the brewing, marketing and consumption of Craft Beer over the last decade or more, there has also been an increased interest in brewing history. Small scale brewers have delved deeply into the past, reviving the age-old traditions of farm house brewing, small-batch experimentation and a more organic approach to beer and ale creation. With this in mind, we offer this new edition of an anonymous work from the mid-18th century, in an effort to reconnect with the traditions and techniques of past times. The writing style is far more formal than modern ears may be accustomed to, and this may present a modest challenge to some readers. Nevertheless, the information as presented is logical, heartfelt and indeed, rather entertaining. To that end, we have retained all of the traditional idioms and spellings from the original edition, since they add so much to the overall effect of the work.
