I am a newbie, yet to make my first batch. I've done all the reading and research, I just don't have any equipment. I am broke, but I want to make beer! What sort of stuff do you guys recommend I can get/buy that I can get super cheap. I know stuff like a hydrometer I'll just have to buy from...

So I've made two batches of root beer from extract and have been bottling with yeast. Both times I was a little impatient and waited only 3-4 days. My first question is how long should I wait when using an ale yeast? Also, I'm looking to make my next batch from scratch. I have alist of herbs...
