Yes another newbie to this forum.
I have been home brewing since Christmas 2005 when my wife got me a Mr. Beer brewing kit. (She hates beer too. ) My first few batches kinda sucked.... but I stuck with it and the last several has been pretty good IMO.
Not sure what you guys feel about the Mr. Beer method of brewing. It sure is convenient, but I wonder if many purists might think it to be cheesy way to do it. A brewer at a beer bar near my work told me so. - He thought the method of "natural" carbonation was ridiculous. Well, I have been pleased with the results.... but I figure maybe I could learn some new tips from this forum.
So far the last few I have done were a Bock, a Winter Lager, another Lager type and a few Pale Ales. I just made an IPA batch last night, so hopefully it will turn out pretty good. Probably be about 5 or 6 weeks before I can try it though.
