How to Brew by John Palmer he also has a free version on his web site.
Brew Ware is a good book if you are into building some of your own equipt.
Ask questions on this forum before you buy not only about the equpt. but about the sellers. I bought a bunch of junk had I know about this forum they would have told me it was a POS before I laid down hard earn cash.
I have bought from the people and companies listed below:
Brew-4-less on ebay has a stainless steel 9 gallon pot with an installed temp. probe and ballvalve $99 + about $18 for shipping. It's not heavy duty or that great of a boil pot but good for heating mash and sparge water.
