Mark Denny’s beer book is different. Neither an 'ultra-technical account of the brewing process' nor a 'how-to plus a lot of recipes,' Froth! is a theoretical physicists exploration of the math and science behind the beer-brewing process. Packed with humor, history, and DIY enthusiasm, Denny shares with readers how he uses physics to home-brew his own beers that froth higher and taste better.
Froth! offers a delicious blend of history and science that will delight beer aficionados and science buffs everywhere.
Accomplished home brewer and physicist Mark Denny has crafted a scientific yet extremely accessible, investigation of the physics and chemistry of beer.
Froth! is a nice read, garnished with just the sort of wit I'd expect from a British-born beer aficionado. It will be especially useful to home brewers, as it explains step by step how to make the stuff yourself.
Froth! earns a solid 'A' for bringing science, brewing, and good writing together.
For a scientist, Denny's approach is delightfully down to earth... There's plenty for the beerophile in Froth!
Denny provides a scientifically sound and often witty investigation of the physics and chemistry of beer.
Beer is intriguing enough, but Denny's enjoyment of the subject adds to the fun.
A lively yet scientific examination of the physics and chemistry of beer.
Books about beer tend to be either purely descriptive or wholly scientific. Rarely does a book combine the two, much less with genuine wit and charm. Froth!... is the exception. It is a great joy to read and contains a wealth of information for a wide audience... Highly recommended.
Denny... keeps the book interesting with his light and informal writing style and a good sense of humor... Froth! is a perfect book for the home-brewing beer aficionado who is looking for more than 'Brewing 101' but less than a master’s degree in the subject.
Anyone with an interest specifically in how traditional craft relates to science-based industry would also find Froth! an entertaining and illuminating case study.
If Mark Denny brews his brew as good as his wit, I'll be round to his house in a flash.
