Hi Charlie, I am also new to this forum and to beer brewing. It so happens that I also live in Chula Vista. What a small world, EH? I live just a few blocks away from Southwestern College. Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of home brewing! I am on my third extract/partial mash brew, just getting ready to keg it this weekend, it is a strong IPA (7-8% alcohol). I am looking forward to all-grain batches in the near future. How are things going with you?

I'm down the road a few more miles in Eastlake. Couple of batches now all in bottles, in fact today is day 21 for the IPA and I plan on giving it a try. Looking towards going all grain as well. the price for extrct really drives up the cost of a batch. Just as soon as I can convince SWMBO I want to move to kegging as well that bottling is for the birds.

I got lucky and received a kegerator for Christmas, then someone gave me a Cornelius keg. I am also looking forward to all-grain!
I would recommend making your own kegerator, much cheaper depneding on what you buy. When I am ready to do all-grain, maybe we can hook up and share in the experience?
