:tank: I chose for my first brew, an Irish Red. I used an 58000 BTU burner and a Aluminum pot. Burned some malt, put the bittering hops in too late and narrowly avoided a catastrophic boil over. This is my first experience, how about you?
 
Congrats to you...welcome to the obsession! I narrowly avoided a boil over today as well. Risked burning the palms of my hands lifting the brew pot off the burner, but she didn't boil over :)
 
Didn't have a boilover my first time but I was brewing a Brewers Best Red Ale and burned some malt on the bottom of the brewpot. Needless to say, the final product, while not all around bad, has a bit of a burnt flavor to it.

Welcome to the brewing club!
