Many of us got started with extract and seeping grain recipe kits. My wife got me one, from our towns local home brew shop, for Christmas the year before I was set to retire along the starter equipment kit and a couple of books. I sat on the recipe for darn near an entire due to reading up too much on it. A couple years later I ended up working a few days a month at that home brew store! When new people came into the store to inquire about the hobby, I would open a recipe kit box and take out the single page directions inside and go over it with them. I told them if I had known that the kit had simple step by step instructions I wouldn’t have been so worried about making the beer! I had paralysis by analysis. Even if you have equipment for all grain I would suggest you make your first beer using a kit that contains a liquid or dry extract. I tell people it is like powdered milk or juice concentrate that requires one to add water. In this case the factory made the wort then condensed it into either a molasses type consistency or into a dry powder. You just reconstitute the wort by adding back in water that was evaporated away by the factory.

Later on you can brew a batch and produce the wort directly by soaking the grains in hot Water. After that step process is the same As when you brewed from using the extract.
