About this title

From the Author:

"Brew Ware" was written FOR the homebrewing hobbyist...
The most gratifying comment that I've ever heard about "Brew Ware" came from a homebrew supply shop owner who said that he was not going to carry this book because it told homebrewers how to cheaply and efficiently build gadgets that he was selling for several times more, and because we discussed gadgets that were commercially available, but that he chose not to carry because they offered lower retail markup (ultimately cost less) than the products he was stocking in the store.

A backhanded compliment, I'm sure, because he was undoubtedly trying to tell me that not everybody appreciates Karl and I telling the world how to build cheap brewing gadgets, but the fact is that we wrote this book to serve our fellow homebrewers---hobbyists like us---not the interests of retailers, wholesalers, or any other commercial concerns. I can only hope that people who really do want to have fun brewing great homebrew find some of the ideas in this book useful.

Cheers! ---Mark
