Hey,
I'm an HRMer. About a year ago I made a horrible batch of wine for my wife and then someone I know said I should try brewing beer instead. Invested in a bit more equipment and started with a few Festa kits that turned out pretty well. Then moved onto partial grain kits from Noble Grape (did an ESB over the weekend). It seems that the evolutionary process is taking hold so my plans are to move onto all grain. I've been taking an inventory of what I need to take the next step - mash tun and a grain mill are the biggies right now. So far I've enjoyed the process and I've learned a lot on the forum.

Re: Brew Noob or Broob
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Brew Noob or Broob
If you are buying your grain from Noble Grape, the grain mill can wait. Of course, if you have the $, buying now is a good option too.
