Definitely read this site. I've been reading for the last week about 5-7 hours a day (work is very slow here in Moscow right now, because the Russians hate us) and I feel like I've only read 10 threads. True, most of those were the "read these first" threads, so I don't ask any stupid questions when they come up, but there is so much knowledge on this site you can't take it all in if you spend months just reading.
Welcome, good luck and happy brewing!
