Dave Line, Amateur Winemaker, 1980
A decidedly dated handbook of homebrewing, first written in the 1970, Line’s book is nonetheless the only one owned by many enthusiasts. Re-reading it thirty years on, the technical bits are well explained, but equipment and techniques have moved on. The biggest problem for the new brewer may be that it is written exclusively in Imperial units. If Fahrenheit and ounces mean something to you, then this is a straightforward and approachable book, and still in print.
