I used an improper term in my last thread? Thinking you thought I was going to make shine by saying stilling? I wasn't, I just said that since I felt like using that term. Sorry, anyways can someone give me good basic ingredients on making a decent beer? When I said molasses before to sub for the malt extract. And somebody said bakers yeast is fine to use? Thanks

Thanks, but now I need to know where to get the ingredients. I checked out some sites but didn't know if I should order from them or not. Got any sites I can order from?

I highly recommend reading a lot of info before starting. It really helps, I promise. I spent about a month reading and reading before buying anything. Personally I found it fun to learn "all" the terms and how brewing works. It helps for confidence. Last thing you want is to start your kit and then realize you don't have any clue if you should cover your pot, or if you should put your priming sugar in with the boil (don't do either!)
As for places to get your ingredients, here are a couple that I have ordered from.
www.midwestsupplies.com (got my brew kit from there)
www.northernbrewer.com (I buy my ingredients from there)
www.austinhomebrew.com (haven't ever bought anything, but heard it's great)
Have you ever gone down to a local brew store? Usually the folks there are really helpful. And if you happen to make good friends, you might be able to convince them to let you do a brew with their equipment. Buy them some delivery pizza or something just to be nice. I am helping out a new brewer in the next week, using my equipment.

My SWMBO grew up northeast of Cleveland and I won't disagree.

I'm not to familiarity with the Cleveland area LHBS. I can tell you that I have had quite a few of the locals give good reviews of Grape & Granary. This could be quite a drive if you don't live on the east side.
