First, welcome. Second, don't add sugar to your first beer. Third, you will definitely be making beer.
Finally, you should take a look at the beginner forum here, at the top of the forum are some stickies you should read. Also, you can take a look at www.howtobrew.com And if you are a more visual learner, you can go to www.basicbrewing.com and order one of their dvds.
Cheers, Salud and Skaal!

thanks.... i got home from work last night and it bubblen up a storm. even had a head on the airlock. so i guess this is all in the learning. planning on another batch tomarrow ,the only difference would be to steep about 6oz flaked barley &about 4oz flakedwheat for about 15 min @150, in 2 gal. mix in the dme [same 4.5lb as above] boil @170 add 1oz chinook @ 30 min & amarillo 1oz end of boil. total45min. flaked stuff is all i can find around here. wadda ya think?
