Mr. Beer keg is loaded up. The Pale Ale mix is in the barrel... Looking forward to the results. I hope I did everything right. Following the 2/2/2 rule... documenting the process for a new series about brewing from the newbie's perspective, for the food blog I write for.

Thanks! Someone else sent me this one in a private message and I just signed up there. Ronzorelli over there too.

My wife got me a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas, so I'll be diving in pretty soon. And my beer tastes have changed quite a bit since I joined the forum, so I'm really looking forward to getting into porters and darker ales/lagers.

Well... it's been awhile since I posted, but I finally got my first brew kit... my wife got me a Mr. Beer package. Yeah, not the home brew kit I was hoping for, but hey... Seeing this thread gives me hope that I can make it work.

username there is the same as here: ronzorelli

mine's a keeper because she puts up with me, but that's definitely cool she is ok with the idea of brewing. I'm not a huge beer drinker, but I definitely enjoy a good one. I might move into cider making too. Love me some hard cider.

just found out my wife (I love the SWMBO acronym!) has been considering getting me a starter brew kit for my birthday next week. She may or may not do it... but at least I know the boss is not opposed to the idea.

bill... a few more things... I don't use part-skim, low moisture mozzarella. I use whole milk mozzarella, but not "fresh". PSLMM doesn't have the full flavor that WMM does, and "fresh" mozz is too watery for me. And you DON'T NEED super expensive WMM to get good flavor. Believe it or not...

Thanks, bill. I'll keep all that in mind. My pizza preference is a sort of mix between NY Style (being that I grew up in upstate NY), and Neapolitan. I call my style of pie Nearlypolitan. With pizza, some things you have to keep in mind are: You can't get flavor in the dough without...

That will be my 'smooth move' to try and seal the deal... although... we have a wine rack and a wine fridge full of the stuff... We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon a couple weeks ago and we found a winery on top of Kilauea that had some fantastic stuff. We shipped a whole case back... so now...

Paul, The site is www.pizzamaking.com (www.pizzamaking.com/forum/). It's full of folks, like this forum is, who are passionate about what they do. And you WILL get better by reading and doing what they do. I've been dabbling in it for 5 years off and on now and my pizza kung fu is about at a...

Cooking is definitely a passion of mine. Just wondering if I have the finances to get into this as a passion as well. Actually went there today. Nice set up. I just went to browse and check stuff out, not to talk to anyone. I'd pester the daylights out of them if I ended up opening my mouth. I...

That's greek to me at this point... sorry...

My only experience with cream ales is Genesee Cream Ale that my dad used to drink... and the memories of it do not leave tasty thoughts. Not my thing... but of course, I'm open to the idea that Genesee brewery may not have exactly created the epitome of the style.

brewingkitty, I LOVE your signature, and I feel exactly the same way. Velkhom to Soviet Amerikha Comrade

I was told this forum would be a good resource to get a lot of good info. They were right. Thanks, y'all!

Edcculus, sorry, haven't been lurking before I signed up. A lot of what you just said is over my head. Like I said earlier in my first post, I literally know NOTHING about brewing. Looks like that supply company is only about 15 miles from me, so I think I'll have to go visit with them.

Bmilla, congrats on the Blackhawks win!

I love Hefe's. I shy away from bitter beers. I can't stand them. I love the lemon and orange citrus, and the banana and nutty notes I've tasted in hefeweizens. I'm definitely going to look into it. Thanks folks!

Thanks, Kevin. I'm looking forward to becoming obsessed. :)
