Any homebrewers out there?

Title says it all. Don't worry, have a homebrew!

I do the odd bit of brewing here and there. I started in college before I was 21. My roomie and I were both Chem majors, he had a car to go get the supplies and our dorm room had a small kitchen (read: stove and sink). We had a deal worked out with the RD (dorm's resident director) that he wouldn't "notice" our "activities" as long as 6 bottles of each batch were to mysteriously appear at his door.

Just made a batch of spruce beer. Basically an IPA with a small handful of "new" spuce tossed in the boil (by "new", I mean the lighter green new growth on the ends of the branches). It's very good, but generally rates as "that's, um..interesting" by my friends. But hey, that's the joy of homebrew; you can try wacky stuff and you're only out the price of the ingedients and your time.

Where do I find more information about "homebrewing"?

I was doing it a lot for a couple of years but then just stopped. I still have all the equipment and am planning on making a batch of stout sometime this fall. The main reason I dropped it was because the local supply stores were in traffic hells that I just did not feel like dealing with on my weekends off. Hopefully I will be able to get everything I need online and avoid those hassles.

Just do a search for home brewing and you will find a ton of sites. Here is one for you to start with.
