Later this week I plan on setting up my little home brewing operation and going at it. I do realize it will take a long time to get everything down, but I love learning new things.
Welcome to the obssesion Jeramy! Man your post brings back memories of when I started brewing.
I'm betting you're going to hit it out of the park on your first try. Fresh beer brewed by your own hand is as good as it gets... truely. Then it takes off from there.
Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks for posting. Please let us know how it goes. Lots of great people on this forum. I hope you continue to join in the mayhem that is the AHA Forum.

ps
If you look up bacon in the dictionary there will likely be a picture of a pantless weaz there... DON"T LOOK!
