Hey everyone - I'm a new brewer in Western Washington. I played with the idea of this homebrewing thing for about a year before finally getting a kit. Since then - I've studied this forum, read the FAQs, the stickies, the noob-must-reads, and everything else that seems to be harped on by the guys with more than 5,000 posts and 10 years of brewing experience. I pledge to never ask any of the questions listed in the above resources - will defer to the search function in the absence of answers - and then, and only then, will start a new thread in the correct section to ask a question.
Haha - anyway, I've started with steeping grains and extract - brewed my LHBS Pale Ale recipe. Turned out alright. I learned alot in the process and think the Milk Stout and EdWort's Apfelwein I have going now are going to be exponentially better. Needless to say - I think I'm already hooked on this permanently. We'll see how long it takes me to switch to kegging and AG. Looking forward to learning from everyone's collective experience...
