This is not a book about the artistry of home brewing. This is drinkable history. Itâ€™s crude, rough, and primitive. If youâ€™re looking for a modern, refined beverage, you wonâ€™t find it in these pages.,These are some of the oldest human recipes for alcohol. They predate the invention of glass. In some cases, they predate the invention of steel. In fact, the oldest recipes for beer predate the invention of bread.,In these pages youâ€™ll learn how to brew the same sturdy booze enjoyed by Vikings, Eurasian Nomads, and Medieval workers. Thereâ€™s nothing like it available in stores today. If homebrew snobs turn up their noses at your efforts, remind them this was what people drank morning, noon and night as they spread across Europe and created western civilization as we know it - so shut up, drink up, and show a little respect.,In the spirit of authenticity, youâ€™ll not only learn how to make your own hard cider, mead and ale, but also how to make both yeast and malt from scratch.
