Hello all ... also a new homebrewer from Western Mass. I currently have my first batch in bottles, an American Cream Ale. I got it without much thought and then realized it wasnt going to be much like a pale ale at all, haha. NOOB, move.
So, I just brewed an English Pale Ale from another kit last night. I can tell I'm getting addicted fast. I also went out and bought an extra primary bucket today and a recipe (not from a kit) for a Chocolate Stout from a local brew store (which Ive already spent way too much money at in just a few weeks, haha).
Anyway, this forum has a ton of info that has helped me along the way so far, thanks!
