This book can be dedicated only to my family. My wife, the most important person in my life, who has put up with the demands of a career requiring extensive travel, only to have me come home and either disappear downstairs to brew or upstairs to write about brewing. My son, in the hope that he will one day realize his aspirations to be a writer. My daughter, in the hope that she will one day realize how smart she really is. And last but not least, the grandchild who will be born just about the day this book is published.
