Gardening for the Homebrewer: Grow and Process Plants for Making Beer, Wine, Gruit, Cider, Perry, and More, by Wendy Tweten, Debbie Teashon Review
"Tweten and Teashon have a winner in this easy-to-use, appeallingly presented how-to book. Even if you don't want to try your hand at homebrewing quite yet, I recommend getting this book just for the photos, words, and information. It's a great way to while away some time when resting up from a hard day of gardening. Maybe even with a glass of purchased perry to sip while reading." - Kitsap Sun
"A perfect how-to gift for the potential home-brewer, there is an informative chapter on growing hops, malt and barley for "big beer ingredients." Beer, however, "can be so much more," including gruit derived from combinations of various common herbs (yarrow, rosemary, horehound, and the like)." - The Texas Gardener's Seeds
"Gardening For The Homebrewer is a very accessible and easy-to-read book that can turn any home gardener into a home brewer in no time. There is a great deal of detailed information if that's what you want, even down to the specific varieties of plants to be used, but even a novice should be able to proceed very quickly to experiment with and produce a variety of very interesting libations. Details intermixed with humor? How can you go wrong?" - Toledoboomer
"Gardening for the Homebrewer is a useful hands- on guide and I like how it includes so many little tidbits of information. Yes, there are lots of books and advice on gardening, but this book includes helpful tips on things not often covered in other gardening books, like proper cleaning of your freshly harvested food, knowing the right time to harvest, selecting a potting container, sorting and eliminating food items not fit for consumption, and so on. The book also contains its share of humor, which is not something found in the typical book on this subject." - Great Beer Now
"Gardening for the Homebrewer is their new release with a hefty chapter titled: Pity the Pear. The authors delve into the indignity of the pear, its lumping into the apple cider category, and their quest to place dignity where it's deserved..." - Food and Beverage Magazine
"Gardening for the Homebrewer: Grow and Process Plants for Making Beer, Wine, Gruit, Cider, Perry and More is a complete guide to getting started. The authors give down-to-earth advice on the tools and materials gardeners need to get going, including which plants you'll need and how to grow the most productive garden." - Fine Gardening: The Vegetable Gardener
"This introduction to the wide variety of plants that can be used for fermentation or infusions will open up a whole new world for those DIYers that want to try their hand at growing their own." - Detroit News
"Natural gifts for gardeners bring ideas for new growth. This book combines two of my passions: gardening and beer. It describes how to grow and use plants in making not only beer, but also wine (both grape and fruit), ciders, perry (or pear cider) and liqueurs." - Portland Press Herald Maine Gardener
"This is the rare beer book that I have not seen before and wins extra points for originality ... The 3rd chapter on brewing herbs and other fermentables is a favorite. It starts off discussing the great obscure beer style of the "Gruit", a style pre-dating the use of hops in beer that used native herbs, spices, fruits, grains etc. to ferment, spice, bitter the beer. There are cool sections on popular Gruit plants like Yarrow, wild Rosemary, Heather and more with a full breakdown on everything from the height, soil, growth habit, pruning, propagation, spacing, everything..." - New School Beer

By Cynthia Hall When I received this book, I didn't really think it would be for me. While I love to garden and grow food, making beer, wine, or cider never interested me. I do enjoy a bit of wine on occasion and my husband enjoys beer. But making it? Nah! In my mind, the process required a lot of produce (either expensive to buy or time consuming & tricky to grow), specialized equipment, and a LOT of patience since it seemed to be a process of trial and error (with more failures than successes). So I opened the book with little hope of finding something of benefit.What I found was surprising. Most of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that I grow can also be used to make adult beverages. For example, did you know that cucumbers and butternut squash make excellent beer (something to think about when you've got a bumper crop). Lavender can be used to make gin, beer, and liqueur. Even dandelions can be turned into a medium sweet, white wine. And, even more surprising, was that huge quantities of plants weren't necessarily required to make a decent amount of "brew". As for equipment, the authors point out that fermenting has been around for ages and while one can invest in a lot of expensive equipment, it isn't really necessary ... we typically have many of the items required in our homes.So let's say that you like to garden but you're not at all interested in home brewing. Does this book offer you something? Absolutely!! Each ingredient comes with a lot of information about how to grow, where to grow, when to harvest, pruning, soil conditions, solar orientations, and even how to store the harvest. The information is presented well and easy to understand.I finished this book feeling enthused about the possibilities. Since I hate food waste, it offered me an alternative to canning, freezing, giving away, or wasting the bounty in my garden. It also gave me great advice for growing things ... whether I use the plants for food, libations, or simply as a colorful accent in my yard.I received a copy of this book in order to write this review. I received no other compensation. All opinions expressed are mine and mine alone and reflect my honest opinion of the material reviewed.

If you like making beverages and are considering starting to grow your own ingredients this is the book for you! It give you a great overview about all sorts of grains, fruits, veggies, herbs and more that you can make interesting beer, wine and more with. If you happen to be a gardener or have fruit trees this book will give you all sorts of suggestions on what you can use it for in the beverage world.

Those new to the craft are usually content to learn the ropes and perfect a simple batch of brew using a homebrewing kit. But more advanced homebrewers want more, and one way to impress is by growing your own ingredients. Gardening for the Homebrewer is designed to aid the homebrewer in this important task.I have homebrewed beer in my day and I know that it can be a challenge to get everything just right. The addition of fresh ingredients is important and what could be fresher than growing your own? That’s what this book is all about. It steps the gardener through the process, from planting seeds, to harvest, to storage and beyond, with useful side tips and other advice to make your homebrew the best it can possibly be.One surprise with Gardening for the Homebrewer is that it isn’t just about growing hops, barley, wheat, and other grains. It also has sections that cover growing grapes, apples, pears, and herbs. These sections are useful for those who wish to expand their horizons and produce their own wine and cider, or who would like to grow these ingredients to add to their own beer. There is even a section on making your own flavored liqueurs- something that, in turns out, is actually easier than it first sounds.I like how this book is written. I like the side tips that cover everything from pruning to cleaning and more. I also like the humor- you don’t usually find humor in a gardening book, and it adds a nice touch. About the only thing this book could use is a conclusion. There is nothing to tie everything together at the end- the book just closes with a section on growing herbs.Homebrewing is a rewarding hobby. A great batch of homemade beer can be made even better with fresh ingredients and what could be fresher than growing your own? Gardening for the Homebrewer fulfills this purpose, showing homebrewers how to plant a garden of plenty to make the freshest, most natural beer possible. Even if you don’t want to brew beer or make wine or cider, this is still a useful book that makes a great addition to the do-it-yourself person’s library
