or
Wyeast 1968

Steep the grains at in the mid 150s for 45-60 minutes. It is assuming a 5 gallon batch, 3 gallon - 60 minute boil, and adding the extract at the beginning. If you can do a full boil you probably wouldn't need the extra oz at 60minutes.
 
All those ingredients should be available from any decent homebrew store. You may get Carapils instead of Carafoam, but the only difference there is the producer of the malt. Citra is sometimes in short supply though.

Equipment wise - get a standard single-stage fermentation homebrew kit. Your local shop should steer you in the right direction. I do recommend using a Better Bottle as a fermentor, but that's just personal preference.
 
Given the nature of this recipe, I would:

-Switch to WLP001, Wyeast 1056, or Safale US-05 yeast
-Only use the Citra late in the boil + dryhop (consider a different hop for early on)
-Add 1 lb. of sugar late
-Nix the Melanoidin and Carafoam completely

...And personally, I would mash the Munich.
