Ratings and reviews

OK...I was taken in by the description. I thought there would be both all-grain and extract options for each recipe. Not so. There are many extract recipes and just a few all-grain ones. Still, it IS possible to do a conversion, and the recipes look interesting. The book is entertainingly written.
