I'm a New member and new brewer from El Paso. I have been wanting to brew my own beer for years! I have always talked about it, but I never acted on it. After SEVERAL hours of research (primarily on this very informative forum), I finally pulled the trigger and purchased everything I would need to home brew. I became a "supporting member" straight away because the wealth of knowledge I have already gained on this forum is probably worth more than I paid. Here's to many mistakes and many lessons that will be learned from home brewing, SALUD!
