The 2nd completely updated new Spanish edition of the famous German textbook "Tecnología para Cerveceros y Malteros" by Wolfgang Kunze was published by VLB Berlin in November 2024.
“Tecnología para Cerveceros y Malteros” (Technology Brewing & Malting) by Wolfgang Kunze, known in brewing circles simply as „the Kunze“, has accompanied countless brewers and maltsters on their way into and through professional practice since the first edition in 1961. With around 38,000 German, 20,000 English, 6,000 Chinese, 3,500 Russian and 2,000 Spanish copies, this technical textbook has a remarkable total circulation of around 70,000 copies in 8 languages.
Already the volume of 910 pages with about 800 illustrations − many in color − speaks for itself. Due to its practice-oriented and comprehensive presentation of all aspects of malt and beer production including bottling and packaging, „Technology Brewing & Malting” has become an international standard work and is still unrivaled with its holistic approach.
The first Spanish edition of this title was published in 2006. Due to continued demand, VLB has now published an updated retranslated 2nd Spanish edition based on the 12th German edition released in 2023.
