It just occurred to me that, although the helpful folks here have already answered a number of my questions, I hadn't yet introduced myself. Woops. :
I'm a graduate student studying Egyptology (which explains the odd name*) and an enthusiastic if occasionally clueless new homebrewer. I've made three brews to date: an Irish red from a kit, and a bitter and a stout from extracts. I'm about to move into all-grain brewing (I have the gear now, thanks to help from people here, and am only awaiting a shipment of ingredients), with another Irish red as my first attempt. I'm all out of that first one, and need a refill.
I hope eventually to be able to brew modern versions of what the ancients drank -- minus the bits of chaff and weird bacteria from the Nile, of course.
* The odd name is the one the Greeks wrote as Thoth, the Egyptian god of knowledge and scribes. Also a perfectly normal personal name back then. I'm not quite so far gone that I fancy myself a deity. ;D
