Hi,

Did a search and found all of you. I'll be putting my first batch on the fire in two weeks. Couldn't do it sooner due to travel and work so I'll be reading and learning in the meantime.

I already love this and I haven't brewed anything yet!

Welcome to the site!

Welcome...I am new here myself. This is a great place to learn.

Read lots, ask questions when the reading makes no sense. www.howtobrew.com is a great resource as well. There are some HBT folks in Austin and nearby (including me), so keep an ear open for local brew events.

But he won't teach you how to do it.

The first and only book I ever read on hombrewing always said "Relax!! Have a homebrew!" (The Complete Joy of Home Brewing, 3rd edition by Charlie Papazian). So thats the best advice I could give you. oh and when you make a first batch you do is a three gallon with tap water to see how it tastes (that way if it tastes bad you didn't waste much money). and if it does taste bad -Buy Water-!!! I use deer park cause thats what I trust but just as long as its filtered good water. Remember water is 90% of beer. So it's the biggest factor. Which is something I learned the hard way over 5 brutal bad brews. Good luck!!!

P.S. Remember to Relax!! its super easy!

So did you brew yet? I'm in Pflugerville & plan on attending AHS fest this weekend.

Good recipe for a first one. You will love that Honey Brown Ale.

Welcome to the HBT.

Let us know how it goes.

I second all that has been said.

I have read and re read The Joy of homebrewing and How to Brew. And I remember the first couple of times it did not make as much sense as I hoped. But as I brew and I read things start coming to together.
And experience is everything is my opinion.

Welcome..if you want to talk homebrew sometime let me know.
