Learn how to brew primitive beers, country wines, herbal meads, and more! Fermentation fans and home brewers can rediscover “primitive” drinks and their unique flavors in The Wildcrafting Brewer . Wild-plant expert and forager Pascal Baudar’s first book, The New Wildcrafted Cuisine , opened up a whole new world of possibilities for readers wishing to explore and capture the flavors of their local terroir. The Wildcrafting Brewer does the same for fermented drinks. Baudar reveals both the underlying philosophy and the practical techniques for making your own delicious concoctions, including: • Wild sodas • Country wines • Primitive herbal beers • Meads • Traditional ferments like tiswin and kvass The book opens with a retrospective of plant-based brewing and ancient beers. The author then goes on to describe both hot and cold brewing methods and provides lots of interesting recipes; mugwort beer, horehound beer, and manzanita cider are just a few of the many drinks represented. Baudar is quick to point out that these recipes serve mainly as a touchstone for readers, who can then use the information and techniques he provides to create their own brews, using their own local ingredients. The Wildcrafting Brewer will attract herbalists, foragers, natural-foodies, and chefs alike with the author’s playful and relaxed philosophy. Readers will find themselves surprised by how easy making your own natural drinks can be, and will be inspired, again, by the abundance of nature all around them. Review: The second book in the Wildcrafting series continues to delight and amaze! - This is a beautifully designed book, but that's just on the surface. Going deeper, there are tons of wonderful photographs and more importantly, great recipes. But it's not just the recipes, it is the information presented in a clear and concise format with many little funny jokes and other anecdotes that really make it a pleasure to read. Also, it sparks a curiosity in you and encourages you to not only run the recipes but to also go wild and create your own using the info as a basis upon which to build your own knowledge. I love that Pascal gives the Latin binomials when introducing a new plant as common names can be mistaken based upon different popular names used in different parts of the world and the country. He has even made sure to put a caution in for pregnant women, attesting to the thoroughness of his approach. I'm only about 1/3 of the way through and my mind is already exploding with ideas. The only problem now is picking one to start with as there are so many interesting choices available. If you haven't already gotten it, you be be well served to go ahead and get his first book (also on desertcart), because it is every bit as good as this one is and also as comprehensive as possible for a single volume. Pascal is a well-known forager in the Los Angeles area and provides for many elite and exotic chefs who want to work with ingredients that are not usually available to the general restaurant suppliers. They really push the envelope of modern cuisine with his help. I can only give this book 5 stars, but it deserves at least 10, maybe even 15. Review: A creative and flavorful journey using your local environment - Every aspect of this book—much like Baudar’s previous one—is top notch. From the exquisite photography that will seductively lure you into each unique drink, to easy-to-understand and thoroughly detailed instructions to create your own concoctions without fail. My favorite thing about the “recipes” is that they leave just enough room for creativity... which is extremely helpful when harvesting in other parts of the country or throughout the seasons when something might not be available. I also appreciate the attention to detail and the research that must have gone into perfecting the fermentation processes and understanding the flavor profiles of so many unusual wild ingredients. This book is an excellent introduction to those who may just be starting out on a home brewing journey but also a priceless inspiration to those more seasoned brewers who are looking to level up in their craft. I also found that there were plenty of fabulous methods that were non-alcoholic—perfect for introducing kids to their natural environment! The Wildcrafting Brewer will definitely be one of those books that will quickly be stained, wrinkled and fall apart from use in the kitchen, much like my copy of Baudar’s first book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,048 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Beer (Books) #28 in Wine (Books) #33 in Homebrewing, Distilling & Wine Making | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 564 Reviews | ## Images ![The Wildcrafting Brewer: Creating Unique Drinks and Boozy Concoctions from Nature's Ingredients - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812gO9Noo5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The second book in the Wildcrafting series continues to delight and amaze! *by D***N on February 22, 2018* This is a beautifully designed book, but that's just on the surface.
