Where to start?

[Capebretonbrewer]

I am totally new to brewing, I never brewed beer in my life only moonshine in a copper still, & I was only helping not doing the process myself, also I was young,
So I want to start to brew my own beer, I have no idea where to start and don’t understand none of the lingo here what so ever..
is there any forums or articles that anyone could point me to that is detailed on the process of brewing also articles specially for beginners.

Thanks guys,

This is the first version which is free. The latest version is more up to date and not free. But this is where you should start.

+1 for How to Brew. The 4th Ed. is great! Brewing is easy, understanding the lingo is a bit of a challenge at first.

Here is a glossary of brew terms. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Glossary

Also, one way i learned is watching lots of YouTube videos. There are some good channels that are entertaining as well as educational so it's easier to pay attention. I'm also a visual learner so that is another reason why it helps. If you have a local brew club, friend that brews, or maybe a small scale pro, they may let you watch and assist and give you hands on experience.

As you read, be thinking about which method suits your own situation best. You can go with extract, partial mash, or all-grain, with variations within each. They each have their own requirements for equipment and time.

Welcome to brewing, and welcome to HBT.
