I've brewed about 6 batches so far and am really enjoying myself! It's SUCH a nice feeling to get tipsy on your own beer and to share it with friends. I've got an American Brown Ale in primary ferment right now. Should be good!

I've done about 6 batches so far and am having a blast! Thanks for the encouragement!
