Great. Thanks for the book suggestion. I'll check it out. Thanks. I can already tell this is going to be a deep, deep hole!!!! I brewed my first batch this Friday. I've already learned a couple of things NOT to do next time. I've been reading and researching a ton about yeasts over the...

Yes sir, I should have clarified that with an ambient temp of 65-66 I should be good with my beer temp since the yeast fermentation range goes up to 75. Obviously, I'd like for it to be a touch lower, but we'll see. So, you'd suggest 3 and 3?

Appreciate it @Jamafrica brewer Yeah, I'm already addicted and haven't even started yet. I'm going to be brewing my first batch this afternoon when I get home. I think I'm ready!!!! We'll see I guess. I'm going to be cleaning and sanitizing like crazy. I'm probably a little extra paranoid...

I don't have the book, but I have read portions of it online. Like you said, I've been using it for reference. I haven't read the revised version, but I may see about purchasing it for sure. Thanks. Yeah, I could do something like that. I've really been monitoring the room and it's...

@roosruus Awesome. Thanks for the tip. I may have to give that a try!!! Friday can't get here quick enough!!

I'm definitely printing this off to use as reference. Thanks @catalanotte

Thanks a bunch. I hope you are correct. I know I have really been stressing about it over the last couple of days. I'm probably just over thinking everything, but still....... Appreciate it. I'm a little anxious about the sanitation part as well. Going to get a good, high quality spray...

Thanks for the tips guys. Yeah, I'm going to try my best. I'm not sure it will be feasible to keep a cool water bath on it the entire time. Especially since I will be at work during the day, etc. I may just try to turn the air down as low as possible and see what happens. Man, now I'm...

Yes sir, I've found a lot of great tips so far. A lot of skill and experience here for sure. I just hope folks can be patient with me and be prepared for some relatively obvious and elementary questions. Thanks.

Appreciate the advice. I've been monitoring the room I'm going to be fermenting in. It's been sitting at around 70F-72F. Hopefully that'll be ok.

Rarely do my steaks turn out the way I want them!!! Haha. Seriously, thanks for the vote of confidence. I think I'll be ok, but I'm just a little anxious. I'm sure once I get a few under my belt I'll begin to get more confident. Hopefully not complacent, just more confident.

Well, the majority of my beer gear arrived Friday. I have a few more odds and ends pieces coming this week. My hope is to have my first brew day either Friday afternoon or Saturday. I can't wait!!! I'm extremely excited and nervous at the same time. Truthfully, I'm scared to death...

Thanks so much @Section1 . I'm sure this hobby is a DEEP rabbit hole!!!

Appreciate the welcome @wallyLOZ . I've had a ball perusing the forum today. Super excited about getting started and learning a ton.

Hello everyone, Just wanted to stop by, join the forum, and introduce myself. I have always had a fleeting interest in brewing beer. I've enjoyed "better beer" for about 15 years now, but never quite took the plunge into to homebrewing. I always found it a bit intimidating really. Well...
