First timer from Rochester NY

[fedor]

Hello all. I just recieved my first home brewing kit as a christmas gift, and it seems to be a very nice kit too boot. I'm extremely anxious to get started, but I'm also extremely nervous, as it seems to be quite a science , and the slightest miscue can apparently easily ruin a batch a beer.

I hope to Brew my first batch on Monday, and I just went out and bought a True Brew Amber Ale kit, so hopefully using the "paint by numbers" method makes my first time a successful effort.

Wish me luck!

Welcome and good luck on your first batch. You have come to the right place. These guys will really help you make great beer. My first batch was a true brew kit. If you have time read through the stickies in the beginner threads. Kit instructions tend to rush the primary fermentation phase. Look through the beginner threads and you will find a wealth of information.

Thanks! I've been spending any free time I have reading, and re-reading these forums for all the info I can get.

I just moved out to Rochester this summer, but prior to Rochester, I was a fellow Buffalonian too!

Cheers.

If the old brew wives could make a decent beer with a big wood fired pot and some barrels, you and i should have no problem making do with our sanitized plastic buckets and glass jugs. good luck!
