I've developed an interested in the idea of home brewing. Are there some books, or other sources of info that you all could recommend to me before I jump into buying a home brew kit? I'm a complete newbie. I need to get the basics down before I go any further so I'd love to tap into the vast knowledge around here so I can get pointed in the right direction.

Welcome to the insanity.
And yeah what Floyd said-Papzian and How To Brew. How to Brew is not just online, you can also buy it- it's by John Palmer.

The Complete Joy of Home Brewing 3rd Edition by Charlie Papazian

This is the book that got me addicted to home brewing.

You are on the right track. Read a book on home brewing, learn the basics, and your first brew will go a lot smoother. Plus you can ask questions of this forum. :mug:

Welcome and enjoy home brewing!
 
Thanks guys! I look forward to this addicting hobby!:mug:

I bought the How To Brew book as well before I started. He has a new edition out now. A great book. Easy to read and easy to get started, but it's also full of all kinds of in-depth stuff like figuering water hardness and mash ph and how to construct brewing equipment. I would consider it a must have.
 
Hello Aaron
Welcome to the hobby. Read those books and never be afaraid to ask questions. a dumb question is better than brewing a bad batch. Also get involved with a brew club in your area.
