After a quick search I couldn't find anything, so I thought that I would ask.

My first brew was a can and kilo Munton's Wheat beer kit that my SWMBO bought for me. She didn't know the monster she was creating . After I finished fermenting it, I concluded that it wasn't the worst beer I had ever had, but it wasn't the best either.

What was everyone's first brew here?

First beer was a Scottish Ale kit from Midwest. It was ok. The Scottish I have on tap at home is much better.

Brewer's Best Dunkelweizen, and sadly I gave away most of it due to the taste. It was before I knew what green beer was.....

Brewer's Best American Wheat - it came with my start up kit. It was drinkable and I was hooked.

First brew was a honey porter kit from the LHBS... Tweaked it right off the bat to get more ABV in it (I thought 4.2% was weak for a solid porter )... Came out really good, so I've been going ever since... That was mid-November of 2010... Of course, I started another brew within a few days of the first one... Then I had a brain fart and brewed two that are just not in bottles, or carbonating (started in December, but took a lot longer than I had originally planned)...

I do think brewing is a "gateway" item for fermenting... That is, once you've tasted what someone else has made, that's not beer... I made the 'mistake' of trying the person who works at the LHBS's mead... Not even a week later I was starting my initial batches (still in process)... I don't plan on making wine anytime soon. Mostly because I don't think I can make it to my own standards... I also don't drink enough to make it worth doing... Plus, it would probably be years before it was to the point where it would be ready to drink... If I don't forget about it completely... At least with beer, most of the time, it's ready to drink within 6-8 weeks from boil... Mead is usually at least 6-12 months.

I honestly can not remember what my first brew was. That sucks.

First brew was an extract with specialty grains from my LHBS. It was a kit, Northern Alt-Sposure, and damn it's good! I was hoping I could bring a case for my annual ice fishing trip next weekend but might be a few short.

Honey Amber Ale Kit from Midwest. Good stuff. Just finished the last of it off last week! Now I have 10 more batches to work on drinking!
