Need a hand getting started

[Brewer #462815]

I’m new to the home brewing scene and really excited to join this community! I’ve just started experimenting with brewing at home and would love to learn from all of you seasoned brewers.

I’m curious—are there any essential guides, threads, or tools that you’d recommend for a beginner like me? I’d also love tips on how to get the most out of this forum.

Looking forward to sharing experiences, learning, and of course, brewing some great beer together!


Cheers

Get a copy of John Palmer's How to Brew. Don't worry if you can't grasp it all, but this book will give you a solid foundation of brewing essentials.

We have some good advice in https://www.brewersfriend.com/forum/threads/all-in-one-brewhouse-help-thread.17832/
although focused on “all in one” brewing systems, a lot of it is applicable no matter the mash/brew equipment.

Welcome to the forum! I'll add a third vote for John Palmer's How to Brew book but, also add in that we have a good beginning brewer section on this site. Plus, I encourage you to ask lots of questions.

Excellent! I have come across this author before, and now that fate has pointed me to him again, it means I 100% need to buy this book. Thanks!

Hmmm...that's a new feature. I'm sure it's intended to block bots from posing as humans. And yes, I am talking to you Mia!

That is a little inside joke @Brewer #462815

 

[HighVoltageMan!]

Are you intending to brew all grain right away or start with extract?
