Best Place To Get Started?

Books? Online? Wht got you started? I'm a beer enthusiast, but I want to start trying my hand at home brewing, small at first, but kegging if I can do it decently.

So my questions is where should I look to start and what are the best ways in which to start?

 

howtobrew.com

It's free and it has everything you need to get started and way more.

Most of what I know came from right here on these forums. Loads of guides to the basics.

 

+1 and +2 for all the experience you can find on this site. Also, I'd recommend bottling for the time being as it's cheaper and serves it's purpose.

 

Reading about it is fun but nothing beats making good beer. A keg setup is expensive. No need to worry about that now!

 

More beer supply sites are now selling 1 gallon brewing kits. You might wanna try that to get your feet wet. Or go with the more common 5 gallon basic starter kit from midwest for $65. Best bang for the buck that has options you can add on depending on what you have or can get yourself. Plus you can add a brewing kit to it as well.
I 2nd bottling at first to keep things cheaper & less complicated to start off with.

 

Try to locate a Homebrew club close to you. Meet some of the members, and see if any would be willing to let you get involved in a brew day. This has the dual benefit of 1) getting to learn all the subtle nuances by hands-on involvement, and 2) many clubs and members may have loaner equipment they would be willinfg to part with to get a young brewer started while they gradually invest in their own equipment.
