+1 on Basic Brewing Video, I don't know about Ben's Homebrew but be careful with Craigtube. Craigtube is one of the videos that convinced me to start homebrewing so props to him for that. But I watch an episode the other day where Craig poured a can of Coopers light hopped extract into a fermenter with a pound of brown sugar, topped off with water and pitched his yeast. I guess it is possible to ferment hopped extract without boiling, but it just seems wrong. Like wearing a speedo to the beach, just wrong.
