This place is a marvelous resource!
I just started my first batch last weekend (and posted when my fermenter blew off the top because of a broken airlock; thanks for the quick replies). My wife got me a kit about 4 years ago but I never had time to use it. Since I'm sidelined from my normal hobbies for a while I needed a new obsession.....beer brewing it is.
I have an extract based English brown ale that is ready to either go to bottle or secondary....I'm super excited about trying it. I'm going to try an extract based bock next and have the stuff to start a simple mead tomorrow or the next day.
There are a lot of good local resources where I live (Champaign-Urbana, IL), not to mention here, so I hope to graduate to all grain at some point but till then I'm going to keep "practicing". =)
