Since you used an apostrophe, I can't figure out if you're an educated southerner, or fakin' it. I'm a CA native, so I use punctuation, even correctly some of the time.
A good basic brewing kit from any of the respected online homebrew retailers would be a great start to this hobby (obsession). As for ingredient kits, the Brewer's Best kits found at many shops, local and online. I think they have some really good instructions and are easy to follow, which is about the most important thing to learning to make beer, learning the process, and learning what's actually happening to your ingredients along the way.
I happen to have a good local homebrew I suggest you check there first, as it's good to be on good terms with someone who can answer questions, and supply things that you may have forgot to order, when you need these things in a hurry. If they don't make you feel too happy to be there though, don't waste your time and stick with the online sales. If the local shop has ingredient kits that look dusty or old, skip them too. Fresh ingredients make a difference.
If you do find a Carp and Onion beer kit I want to know about it, but I'd prefer Salmon and Capers.
