Hello, Just browsing around for more information on microbrewing and came across this site. Looks very helpful.

I started brewing in July when, while walking through a store, I came across one of those "Mr. Beer" kits that proclaim to brew liquid gold, boy was I excited.. after a few batches of that however, I felt like a kid with training wheels on his bike.. it was just too simple. And it tasted alright, but.. I knew there was better beer to be made. It was time to move on. So I bought a 5 gallon beer making kit and have my first batch, a Brewhouse prairie wheat ale, in secondary right now, and continuing to learn the finer aspects of brewing. So I decided to poke around a bit here.

Greetings and salutations. A lot of people start off with those Mr Beer kits. They are a great way to find out if brewing is for you or not. Glad to hear that you like it. The wheat ale sounds good. Be sure to let us know how it turns out. Hopefully we can answer any questions you may have.

Be sure to keep your Mr. Beer kit. It's a great way to try different recipes and tests on a smaller (cheaper) scale. Welcome aboard.

Yum. Barleywine is good. You can get even higher then 8% if done right. I think the highest beer was around 25% my Sam Adams. But there is no carbination in it.
