Hey guys. im ryan i live in conway and have been real interested in brewing beer. i used the mr. beer thing once and it came out alright. but now im saving up to get some real equipment. i've been reading for a while now. i have The Complete Joy of Homebrewing Third Edition. and have pretty much read it front to back. I want to get as deep in to this as i can, but i dont want to try to learn so much at once that i screw up and don't have good beer. i have a hard time not just diving in the deep end. any thoughts on where i should start? equipment wise and product wise? probably extract right?

Well first off welcome to HBT! If I were you I would probably start out with extract steeping some grain. If you can afford it I would say go with this http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/starter-kits/deluxe-beer-starter-kit.html
and pick up a copy of how to brew by john palmer
