| | Amazon.com: Pale Ale (Classic Beer Style Series, 1): Books: Terry Foster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Let us start at the beginning of this book, Foster covers a brief history of Pale ale, establishing that the three Ales are very similar and that the distinctions he makes for ease of learning are by no means universal. |
 | | There is a chapter just on the character and profile of a pale ale and what defines it in terms of ingredients, flavor, and aroma. |
 | | Besides discussing the essential ingredients of the pale ale style such as hops, yeast, malt, and water, there is a good chapter on brewery equipment, such as the "beer engine" (which is just a hand pump), kegs, wooden casks, cask making, prepration, maintenance, and cleaning, taps, and so on. |
