Just got my Beer Brewing Kit In!

I know I've posted a lot today... kind of procrastinating, plus this board is pretty awesome.
I got my first beer brewing kit, and I'm trying to start my first batch next week. Looking for something slightly fruity like Abita Purple Haze.
Any suggestions on a recipe?

Use austinhomebrews texas blonde as a base and just add raspberry flavoring when bottling.
cheap simple recipe, hard to screw up.

Sweet. Thanks.
Do you know of any BR brewing clubs that meet one a month or so? I'm trying to get into one.

I have been looking at kits today myself. Please keep us posted on how your first brew comes out. Good luck!

I've used some of the Brooklyn brewery kits and they were pretty good.
However, the base kits are 1 gallon kits.
I received a refill for Mr. Beer, and I don't have the minikeg, so I bought a 2 gallon glass jar with lid, weather stripping and duck tape.
I have a vent line (which I caulked around) to vent the jar during fermentation. I'll post a pic in a few.

Crafty, man. That's a pretty nice rig up you got there.

Check out the pic I just posted. You can see a little kitchen/bathroom caulk to seal the small opening around the vent line.

Showing up for me. I linked thru photobucket a few posts up.
The only think I'll miss with my jar set up is the ease of filling the bottles. I'll have to siphon my beer out of it.

Welcome to brewing! There are a few clubs in BR. One mentioned above that several people on here are in. I also know of Red Stick and Bicycle Brew Club. I meet with Bicycle some. We are a pretty motley crew of 6-8. They meet every third Thursday and jump around from bar to bar and most live in the Mid-city area and bike to the brew meetings, as the name would imply.
