Summary: clonebrews
Comment: I have been brewing beer for 9 years and this book has been by far the most helpful. The beer I brew now is better than anything I've made before.The recipes are easy to follow and Mark and Tess are very helpful with providing the required ingredients. I have tried at least 6 different recipes and the results have been excellent. If you are a beginner and want to learn how to brew good beer fast I would definately recommend buying this book. Try the Bass Ale, it's simple and you will be amazed at how similar it tastes to the real thing. Thanks, Mark and Tess for broadening my homebrewing experiences.

Summary: Recipes Made Easy
Comment: I have been brewing for about 6 years now and have found this book extremely helpful in recreating (I guess cloning is the appropriate word here) a specific beer or in stimulating the thought process when I just want to try and brew something different. In addition to the list of ingredients and a little bit of history, each recipe provides clear directions for an extract, partial mash or all grain version, making it adaptable to whatever your brewing level or time constraints allow. The base version of each recipe is extract, with modifications for the partial mash and all grain. I am primarily an extract brewer, but the book has helped me to step up to the all grain versions with confidence.
I have brewed many of the recipes in the book and have won several ribbons using both extract and all grain versions. I am looking forward to the new book by the Szamatulskis, because not all of my favorites were included in Clone Brews!

Summary: Beer varieties from around the world, not quite for novice
Comment: While not quite as good as their later book "Beer Captured", I'd give this book about 31/2 stars for the amount of information it contains (the Szamatulski's 2nd book is even more detailed hence the lower rating). You get a variety of recipes from all over the world including countries you might not expect to even allow alcohol. I've never brewed beer but I'd say that this book would do pretty well for extract, mini mash or all grain method brewers who have a good idea of what they're doing. While there is some introductory information and some more in the appendices I really don't think the total novice(like me) should rely on this book alone. How close are the cloned recipes?, I don't know but expect that most of us couldn't tell the difference.
