I've spent a few hours looking around the site and reading some of the stickies, FAQs, and random threads because I'm interested in brewing some of my own. I've been pretty intrigued by the process and as we all do, really love the taste of awesome beer. Reading about the start of some micro breweries, Sierra Nevada in particular, and listening to stories of amateur home brewers has effectively given me the motivation to do it myself.
That said, how should I begin? I've seen several home brew kits available at MrBeer, Austin homebrew, Northern, etc. but I really want to just do everything from scratch. What am I going to need to do this?
I do want to keep a pretty tight budget, but am willing to spend on what is most important to ensure a successful brew. I know, I know, use the search function. I am and will, however, it would be easier for me and potentially others to collect some great information. There are alot of great resources here and I would appreciate the help. Thanks.
