Bostwick and Rymill began making beer in the spring of 2009 with the help of a homebrew kit. Their first batch, however, exploded—glass bottles and all—in their living room. After six months of troubleshooting and experimenting as hobbyists, they hunkered down to develop a resource for other interested homebrewers. The result is Beer Craft, published earlier this month by Rodale. Photo 1 of 8 in Beer Craft: A Guide to Homebrew by Miyoko Ohtake
