new here from CA!

hi,

just joined tonight. i am currently hunting out my equipment now and will be purchasing it in two weeks after my move. as soon as we are settled in the new house i am going to start my first 5 gal batch. i plan on brewing a porter or a pale ale. i want to do a specialty grain/malt extract combo.

do you think that is okay for a first run?

or should i just stick with all extract?

either way i am going to use an unhopped variety, i feel comfy enough to time addition of hops and controlling a boil. i look forward to hearing all your information/advice. i also look forward to making that awesome brew of my very own.

Hey and welcome! I did something similar for my first brew, extract and steeping grains. Far exceeded my expectations. Where in CA?

Hey keen, welcome to HBT.

Putting in the hops yourself is the way to go. Good luck on your first batch!
