Human beings have been fermenting beverages for at least nine thousand years.

The industrial beverage complex would prefer you forget that. This book is the reminder.

The Prudent Chef: Home Brew for Less covers everything worth making at home: mead, hard cider, country wine, small beer, cordials, vinegar, and drinking shrubs.

All 52 recipes use ingredients available at any grocery store or foraged for free.

No specialty equipment. No homebrew shop required. No prior experience assumed.

Eight chapters take you from the fundamentals of fermentation - sanitation, yeast, sugar, gravity, wild yeast capture, and troubleshooting - through every major category of fermented and infused beverage. A complete legal and safety reference chapter covers US home fermentation law, bottle safety, off flavors, and responsible use.

A gallon of hard cider starts with apple juice and a packet of yeast.

Elderflower cordial starts with flowers from a tree that costs nothing to grow and nothing to harvest.

What you spend on a single bottle at the store makes several gallons at home.

That gap widens every time prices rise.

Book 2 in The Prudent Chef series.
