New Homebrewer intro

Post by roberttusing »

Just wanted to say hello and I am really looking forward to learning more about the processes and trying new techniques. Of course after I get a couple of regular kits out of the way.

Hello and Welcome, glad to have you here.
Getting a few straight up kits under your belt is a great way to start. It will give you a base line of what your working with. It's easier to make changes from there to get to the beer your looking for. Please feel free to as questions, we have all different style of brewers who make all different styles of beer.

Cheers!
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.
