John, I have that book...it's not a good book at all. Lots of bad
advice and shaky recipes. When you say "The Bible", I assume you mean
Charlie P.'s book. I applaud his attitude, but there's a lot of dodgy
advice in that book, too. If you haven't already read John Palmer's How
To Brew, go to the online version at www.howtobrew and check it out.
It's "The NEW Bible"...
