Books on Hold is a blog series dedicated to books I have seen in passing and requested from my local library. See more in the series at the end of this blog post. — Douglas
I am a big fan of beer and have often thought about making my own. Hard cider is as close as I have come, though. Perhaps this book will push me over the edge into some full-on beer brewing.
From Amazon.com…
