Hello, all! My girlfriend got me a kit and some equipment a while ago and I have been so afraid of messing up a batch that I've been doing a lot of reading, including HBT, and not a low of brewing. I finally pulled the trigger on the California Lager kit she got me. I have tremendous patience (which, I gather, bodes well for brewing) but I am also quite eager to brew more and more and more and really get the feel for it. Thank you, in advance, for indulging the myriad questions I'm certain I will ask.
