Welcome to HBT!

Use brewer's yeast (there are many strains) and control your ferm temps, keep the fermenting beer toward the lower side of the yeast's range (there are exceptions) and warm up a few degrees toward the end.

Unlike distilling we can't remove heads and tails, everything you do remains in the beer.

As IslandLizard mentioned, fermentation temps are very important. Also sanitation--anything touching wort or beer on the cold side should be cleaned and sanitized. Many brewers (myself included) have discovered the hard way what happens when things aren't so sanitary.

Good luck with your brewing, and we're here to help if you have questions.

Welcome. Fermentation temperature and sanitation have been mentioned - those are the big two. I also recommend reading the on-line How to Brew (howtobrew.com), or the updated paper version.
