Hello folks. New to the forum, first post here, and brand new to home brewing. Decided to try a new hobby, so I found the local home brewing store and bought a Brewer's Best kit.
Came here and lurked for a few weeks, trying to learn as much as I could. I jumped in yesterday and brewed a 5-gallon batch of Brewer's Best Irish Stout. Everything seemed to go according to plan, with no real surprises or disasters. OG was 1.049 with 5 gallons, so I think I nailed that, at least. It looked like beer, it smelled like beer, maybe I made beer.
Woke up this morning and checked my fermentation bucket...I have bubbles! I guess I really did make beer. Now the wait to see if I made drinkable beer. Thanks to everyone on this board...I learned a lot of good information from the threads here. Probably prevented a disaster or two.
Anyway, I look forward to learning more, and brewing more, in the years to come.
