How I got started. I was interested and my brother bought me a book... "The new complete joy of home brewing" by Charlie Papazian. Straight forward, plain language, good start.
My first several batches of home brew were 1 gal partial mash kits from Northern Brewer. $49.99 gets you everything you need to get started. Grains, Malt extract, yeast, hops, additives, surgar . Plus a fermenter jug, siphon, bottle filler, bottle caps, capper, carbonation pills.

Pick from several recipes and go.
All you need to supply (buy, acquire) is a 2 gallon pot and a dozen empty beer bottles.
While it may be " a one size fits all" it is nonetheless a good starting point. Additional "Kits" can be purchased with just the ingredients at a substantially lower price.
Good way to get started, learn the process of brewing and gain the confidence to move on up to advanced techniques and your own recipes!!
