Good tips form these guys. Most importantly, enjoy yourself and learn from your mistakes. That and start another right after the first one is done!
+1! The first batch may suck, but having another in the pipeline will help you stay the course.
Also, go through the session archives and look for their special shows, like extract, hops, yeast, Honesty in All Grain. There's tons of basic brewing stuff there amidst all the dick jokes. Don't hesitate to ask for advice. I like to say advice is a lot like assholes and this place is full of 'em!
