How to Brew Better Beer
Think of it – beer for 12 to 20 cents a bottle – and the best beer you’ve ever tasted, tailed to the exact quirk of your tongue. This is the promise of author M. R. Reese – and his directions deliver on that promise. When you flip the cap off a bottle of your own brewing and taste, you’ll never want to go back to those store-bought varieties.

It’s easy, too, says the author, taking three hours at the most for five gallons of beer! The hardest part, he notes, is waiting for 4 to 6 weeks for the beer to reach perfection! You only need a few items of equipment – many of which are already in your kitchen.

With the 19 recipes here, you can brew top-grade beer and ale – American, Canadian or European style, from light beers to the heavier Irish stout – and learn to vary recipes to get exactly the pleasant taste you want.

The 122-page softcover book was published by Garden Way Publishers, Pownal VT. It includes an index and is illustrated with many black/white photos. Condition is Very Good with only very slight edge wear to the covers. There are no apparent defects inside. (6635)

Gadgets & Wrinkles, Ingenuity at Sea

The complicated business of sailing a boat efficiently and the equally complicated business of living aboard her comfortably have called forth man's ingenuity and inventiveness.

Any mechanical device to which that inventiveness gives rise is called, in the sailor's argot, a GADGET.

On the other hand, any method of procedure which it develops is known as a WRINKLE.



GADGETS AND WRINKLES, A COMPENDIUM OF MAN’S INGENUITY AT SEA is a description of the ingenuity and inventiveness of the sailors of all nations and all ages. But the book is devoted mainly to gadgets and wrinkles used by modern yachtsmen on modern yachts.

The Marconi rig, the penchant for ocean racing, the increased use of wire and winches, the invasion of new materials, the discoveries in aerodynamics, the borrowings from the motor car and the airplane, the employment of power and electricity, and the fad for racing dinghies have brought about a veritable tidal wave of yacht invention. This book lists and explains more than five hundred gadgets and wrinkles that have proved useful in the handling of a yacht.

Written by H. A. Calahan and published in this 1938 FIRST PRINTING by the Macmillan Co., New York, this 311 page hardbound book is illustrated with numerous black/white photos and drawings.

It’s in Very Good condition, with only light edge/corner wear to the covers. Inside pages are clean, complete and very readable. The endpapers show slight foxing and a previous owner’s name is handwritten on front endpaper. The dustjacket is present, but has some edge/corner wear.

It is a book to make poor sailors into good sailors; to make any sailor a better sailor! (3485)
