Welcome Kendo2gz,

I'm new myself - I just finished getting all my stuff (Thanks, Santa!) and my first brew day is 1/1/09.

Welcome

As far as advice goes, I have brewed only 3 batches (so take my advice considering that). My first 2 lessons were as follows:

1. Don't get too worked up in the small details for your first batch (or 3 :cross. Understand the basic concepts and you will do fine. Save the fine tuning, small details for once you become comfortable with the brewing process.

2. RDWHAHB - Relax, Don't Worry, Have A Home Brew (or alternatively, a regular beer). That is invaluable. 90% of the time, it will all work out.
