I just wanted to stop in and say hi, I've been lurking around for a bit reading and researching for a while.
I'm new to homebrewing and have only completed one batch with some coworkers. It was an IPA, and maybe 1 out of 5 bottles were drinkable, the others, terrible from the bleach based sanitization method we used. We brewed at work with little hot water available, so we did learn from that.
I'm ordering my personal kit shortly, and will attempt what some on here call a "mocktoberfest". Hopefully it will turn out OK, and from reading Papazian's book, along with Palmer's online edition I think I can make it work.
I've wanted to brew my own for a while, but haven't had enough space in the small apartment I was in. One of the first things I wanted to do when I bought this house was to get a setup and start brewing, so wish me luck.
