Just google eer brewing.. you will find a ton of site... Northern Brewing Co to many others.

Buying a kit.. Go cheap first off.. Say $150.00 will cover everything. I like a Turkey cooker to "cook" my beer on. My wife doesn't really like the way the house smells after a day of brewing. It will stay in the house for about 2 days.
Your Basic Starter Kit will run around $80.00 with teh turkey cooker $55.00. But you can cook right on your stove to save money with starting out.

I like Glass carboy over fermenting bucket. But cheap will take you with plastic fermenting bucket.

Lastly if you get a glass carboy KEEP the box it comes in!!! You will like having it around to cover to beer while it is Fermenting.

Beer brews.. I like using Malt Extract.. they are simple and easyer IMHO. When you go with Extract Kit they are "cleaner beers" than working with a Grain. Grains give you more cloudy beer and teast. Once you like it and get good with brewing.. Say 4 to 6 brews. You can start looking at Specialty Grains and IPAs. All easy, but your first beers (Brews) stay with blonds (BUD style) and basic Brown Extract.

Lastly look on Youtube.. a ton of videos on homebrews!!!

If you have the tax money.. and you and wifey like brewing. Look into Kegging!! You can brew and drink beer faster than running down to the local quicky mart!! If you bottle beer you look at 30 day or more before you can drink them!!

Go luck.. if you first brew is shit.. brew a new one. I started out with a Mr. Beer kit... They suck, but it is a start. Drink beer while brewing too and then brew some more!!
