how did you learn

[CoalCracker]

Read the whole how to brew book one slow day at work. Week later I bought a kit and went at it. I spend A LOT of time on here. I read everything I can about brewing. 1.5 years later I'm running a Brutus 20 HERMS system. Who wulda thunk? Read,Read,Read! I'm basing brewing on my reason to possibly buy a kindle..

Agree with all of the above, Palmer's book is awesome, and with the internet you can be overwhelmed with info. I spent 6 months reading "How to Brew" on the internet..then searched the HBT for answers to stuff I was having a hard time understanding. In retrospect it would have been good to have a home brewer walk me through the process, but Revvy,Yooper,Orfy,Bobby M and a whole host of others on the forum, helped guide me through my first few batches. And now I am hooked.

so pretty much everyone learned from how to brew and the complete joy of homebrewing

98% HBT, and after following a link I found here on HBT, I read the online "How To Brew".
