Rezensionen

"... easily the most comprehensive book on the subject,now reissued in paperback at a more accessible price. The wealth ofdetail is extraordinary and the scholarship displayed by theauthors, who between them have over 50 years experience ofmicrobiological research in the brewing industry, is exemplary....[a] splendid, well produced and clearly illustrated book. Itwill continue to be the definitive text for the foreseeablefuture."
Microbiology Today, November 2006

"This is a "must-have" book [and] will be usedas a prime reference text for many years... should be in everybrewing library, and on the bookshelf of anyone who has an interestin brewing yeast and fermentation at the advanced level...ithas very rapidly become the first reference book I turn to whenlooking for detailed information on yeast...highlyrecommended"
Inge Russell, Journal of The Institute of Brewing Vol 109,No. 2, 2003

".a valuable resource for researchers in industry or academiainterested in beer fermentation. "
