If you count yourself among those lucky suckers, you've come to the right place. You've just arrived at Mr.Beer's Community site -- a place where you can belly up to the bar (in a virtual sense), chat with like-minded individuals and get the straight-dope on this new hobby/obsession.
So what's this "Community" all about? In the Discussion Forum you'll find a whole mess of guys and gals who have been there before...
Wondering what your first batch should be doing? Look through the forum, 'cause somebody probably already asked this week, and received a ton of good answers.
Having a specific problem maintaining temperatures? We've all been through that, and you'll get more tips, tricks and feedback than you'll know what to do with. Want to share pics of your first, glorious homebrew creation? This is one of the few places you can go where everyone will truly understand and appreciate your sense of accomplishment. Likewise, if you're an experienced brewer that has just discovered the Mr.Beer kit, you'll find lots of folks of a similar persuasion, with all-grain recipes and hop boiling techniques at the ready.
