Good luck, my friend. You'll be fine if you follow the directions and don't listen to JP. Where abouts are you brewing?

Good luck and have fun.
2 simple changes / additions from the B3 kit instructions that made my beer better when I rebrewed the same kit:
1) When you steep the grains before the boil only steep in a couple gallons instead of all 6, add the 4 gallons after you remove the grains and bring to a boil
2) Either do a yeast starter or use 2 vials of yeast (they don't really go into yeast at all on those sheets, just give you a place to note what you used)
But it comes out fine following the instruction sheet as well, so don't worry if you don't see this post until later.
