Welcome to home brewing. Keep in mind that it's just like most things in life, the more you do it the better you get.

I have a 22 inch webber with a smokinator and love the results. I made some amazing baby back ribs this past weekend with it. Had i known about this section i would have posted them up. If you already have a webber the smokenator can be found for around $70. I like this combo because it doesnt...

How exactly did you go about filling the lid with spray foam?

Thanks for the link. Iam still not sure how I feel about a cpvc manifold. I am concerned about chemicals leaching from the plastic. I'll probably end up using stainless steel or copper.

So a heff or a honey porter is not suggested from what I gather. Funny because those tend to be my favorites.

I finally got my woman to allow me to brew beer! I just ordered a starter kit from mid west. I am trying to pick out my first beer. Is there any type of beer a rookie should stay away from due to difficulty or time? I don't want to waste my time on something that has a higher probability of...
