I need your advice about how to start.

Hi, I'm completely new to home brewing and I don't know where to start. I want to buy a decent brewing kit that isn't to complicated but will still produce good beer. I found the site

and they seem to have really good beer kits. Each kit lists what it contains but since I don't know anything about beer brewing, I don't know which kit would be best for me. Please e-mail me and tell me which kit would suit me best. Some of the kits are non-boil ones. Does that make a difference in the quality of the beer etc? I would really like to start out with the basics and turn this into a full blown complicated hobby lol. Thanks for all your help and if you would like to direct me to another web site that you feel is more reliable, feel free. : ) I look forward to your e-mail.



Thanks Again, Josh

First thing, go to

this is a complete (and free for the online version) book about brewing from beginner to advance brewing. It may take some time but it will give you a good explanation of what you need and why.

After that you can do a google search to find a place in your area. If you can find a local shop you will be able to have person to person advice and help. Having read the basics will help you find if they know what they talk about, some shop just know wine making and never made beer.

If there are no shop wort mentionning in your area, you can check hare, there are a few online shop owner how give advice in this NG from time to time, it's a good way to show that they know what they sell and that they are willing to help people.

A great advantage to a local shop is that the owners are usually willing to try your finished product and tell you how to improve it.
