My name is Rob. I'm a long time beer drinker, but recently decided it's time to start making it. I haven't quite gotten the homebrew stuff, but plan to in about 2 1/2 weeks or so. Since I know nothing about brewing beer, I decided to join these forums early so that I could be somewhat prepared for my brewing experience, and not coming on here going, "I brewed my beer in soap, should I dump it?" I cant wait to start this up!
