New brewer, loving it so far!

Got a brewdemon kit for Christmas from my wife. I just finished the last of the "prophecy ale" that came with it. It wasn't the best beer I've had but it was good and I had a blast making it. I put an oatmeal stout in the fermenter today and can barely wait to try it, Samuel Smiths is my favorite beer of all time. I can see this home brewing thing becoming a lifelong hobby. Excited to try all grain once I educate myself more.

Good on ya! Keep on brewing, learning, sharing and loving it all. Take baby steps and you'll enjoy this hobby more. Don't be afraid to get outside your box and if and when things go south, don't give up.

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the web, and a great hobby. You are off to a good start. Most of us started with simple hopped extract kits. (HMEs Hopped Malt Extract) and progressed from there. I think you are wise to improve your procedures before expanding your repertoire. Study and practice. There are great books on brewing, Palmer's How to Brew can be read for free online, or found on ebay reasonably. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome, we're glad to have you here. Please ask any questions that might come up.
Like all of us (well me for sure), my first batch wasn't store quality by any means. But I had brewed it and that made all the difference in the world. Then I found this group of guys (and gals) and it has been a downhill ride ever since, with beer at the end.
