No problem, and sorry if I was a bit harsh.
As others have said, keep reading, and the knowledge will come. Also, as the chap at the homebrew store told me when I was panicking about my first batch, it is pretty rare to make a truly undrinkable batch unless you stray really far from the basics. Once you have it in the fermenter and have pitched your yeast, leave it alone until dryhopping or fining (if applicable) and then leave it alone until packaging. Chances are you will have something pretty drinkable after a few weeks of conditioning.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum!
