Hey guys, any pointers for someone just getting into homebrewing? I picked up John Palmer's book "How to Brew" and have been reading through that. I'm going get a brewing set up soon, probably from Brewers Apprentice. Any pointers from experience that wouldn't be totally obvious to a newbie?
Great start with Palmer's book, a ton of good info and very easy to read.
I would recommend getting a kit from morebeer as opposed to Brewers App. You'll get better stuff for your money.
Something like this is a great start as you will be able to do full boils which will really improve your beer.

It really comes down to how serious you are going to get into it and how much money you want to spend.
