Hello,
My husband and I have only been home brewing since last fall when we started on "Project Christmas Homebrew." We have 7 completed brews under our belt and are working on 8 and 9 right now. Admittedly this was his baby...he's the beer lover in the family...until I started reading his Papazian book and wanted in on the fun. I have developed this theory...people who homebrew are either Reinheitsgebots (who put only pure "beer" ingredients in their brew) or Heretics (who say "Oh, look what I found in the grocery store...wonder what that would be like in beer?). He is a Reinheitsgebot and I am a Heretic! I also refer to us as Mr. Hoppy and Ms. Malty. Regardless, we've had fun experimenting and researching and sampling so far and are excited to learn more. I am sure I'll have lots of questions for you experts!
