Everything you need to get started brewing beer at home, well almost everything. You still need a huge brew pot and a great big bucket, as well as a number of other sundry items, but certainly everything you need to know to start brewing. The second edition is split into three sections: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The beginner section runs the reader through the brewing of a very basic beer. The intermediate section gets into the 'whys' of how the process works and includes more involved recipes. The advanced section...is scary ;)
The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing is a reasonably well written manual. There are a couple of details that could use a bit more treatment but the information is all there if one looks for it. The third edition came out a couple of years ago and I suspect that many of the unclear details were resolved in that edition.
Recommended to beer lovers even if you'd never attempt to brew beer yourself.
