Title: Disappointed
Product review: I was disappointed with this book. The "statistics" on second round NHC recipes - which take up much of this book - are of dubious relevance. Knowing that 51% of recipes used Hallertau hops, 40% used Saaz 5% used some Cascade, and 10% used a bit of Munich Malt and the odd one used some wheat, or 30% used Bohemian lager yeast but one used some obscure lager yeast at ale temperatures with no lagering but still fluked a great pils doesn't help me to "design a great beer"! There was some useful stuff in amongst the distracting numbers, so drop the pages and pages of meaningless tables in the next edition please.
