How to Make Hard Seltzer: Refreshing Recipes for Sparkling Libations by Chris Colby

5.0

From White Claw to Truly, hard seltzer is a low calorie drink that is refreshing and gluten free. Recent popularity for hard seltzer had me taking a look at how this came about and what it takes to make your own hard seltzer. I was gifted a copy to voluntarily read and offer an opinion.

What did I like? I was amazed at the complexity of making your own seltzer! Beer crafters might be able to take this book and make their own hard seltzer but I will leave it to the experts. I enjoyed the history behind brewing which started out the book but since I’ve never fermented anything before ....the second half, where you actually make the seltzer, was a bit more complicated. I have enjoyed the results from breweries, as the hard seltzer areas in stores take up more and more shelf space.

Would I buy or recommend? To me this is not a beginner book but the wealth of information inside could be worth its weight in gold. If you are determined to make your own hard seltzer the book offers step by step info and some amazing pictures of some refreshing looking drinks. The ingredients themselves make the start up cost cheaper than beer making so anyone interested in self producing hard seltzer would love this guide.

Thank you for a copy to read and I voluntarily left an opinion. Five stars!
