Hey Everyone!
I joined yesterday, posted a quick question, and thought I would introduce myself today.
I am 29 years old, from Vermont, America, and currently live in Japan. I just started home brewing last Friday. I bought a Brew Cellar kit online from one of the few online resources available in Japan for home brewing. I followed the relatively simple instructions of combining hot water, liquid malt extract and sugar, pitched my yeast and made my first "lager" style beer.
Looking forward, I want to experiment with malt extracts for a while, mix and match different types of sugars and spices and eventually move to partial grain brewing. My next task will be making Morgan's Dockside Stout with a can of Roasted Dark Malt in place of dextrose. Unless I hit upon something that really tickles my fancy, I don't plan on making/doing the same thing twice so I can spread out and learn as much as possible.
Already people have been supportive here and I'm looking forward to learning a lot from everyone.
Many thanks in advance!:cross:

(Geppu, in Japanese, means "belch". I chose this name after watching my fermenting bin happily belching away about 4 or 5 hours after I pitched the yeast of my first brew. Now, I call the bin Mr. Geppu:cross
