Beschreibung

A home brew revolution is underway. No longer the preserve of 70s throwbacks, a new wave of booze-makers are brewing, fermenting and infusing in their home kitchens, making an exciting array of alcoholic drinks. Brew it Yourself is a collection of more than 75 homegrown brewing recipes, sure to put a fizz back into this popular pastime by adding a modern twist to some old favourites and introducing whole new range of drinks to tantalise the taste buds. Combining two of their passions alcohol and gardening authors Richard Hood and Nick Moyle (the Two Thirsty Gardeners) take special care to explain the importance of the ingredients in each of their recipes whether grown in the garden, foraged in the wild or bought from their local supermarket. With drinks ranging from a classic elderflower sparkle to homemade absinthe, Richard and Nick bring the art of brewing back to earth. They'll tell you how to turn surplus fruit harvests into amazing wines and liqueurs; introduce you to the ancient arts of mead and cider making; guide you through some easy beer recipes, from hop packed IPAs to a striking Viking ale; use surprising ingredients such as lavender and nettles for some fun sparkling drinks; and take you on a world booze cruise that includes a Mexican pineapple tepache, Scandinavian mulled glogg and Finnish lemon sima. Brew it Yourself also debunks myths, celebrates experimentation and takes the fear out of the science of fermentation. It proves that creating your own tasty alcoholic drinks doesn't need to be complicated, doesn't need to be costly and, most importantly, can be a whole lot of fun.

Autor

Nick and Richard started up the Two Thirsty Gardeners website in 2012 and have built up a solid audience through this with 7,726 page impressions from 3,956 visits in the last two months. They have both worked in the magazine publishing industry for 20 years and have a good base of media contacts who will help with publicity. The two men grew up during the UK home brew boom of the 1970s & 80s with parents who regularly made their own drinks from home grown produce. Richard's gran used to force him to stir her elderberry wine while Nick made his own carrot whisky before he was old enough to drink it. Their early forays with beer and wine kits were undeniably crude, but this experimentation fired up a life-long obsession for the art of brewing. In 2008 they built their own cider press and have been producing cider for local pubs, beer festivals and deserving friends ever since. They have both been avid veg growers since they were young, and in 2011 finally acquired an allotment, giving them the space to start growing their own produce on a larger scale, to eat and to turn into alcoholic drinks. The first thing they planted was a cider apple tree.Richard is a freelance graphic designer and Nick runs his own design business.
