Instructions: http://www.howtobrew.com/ Equip/supplies (very short list), off the top of my head): http://www.listermann.com/ http://www.paddockwood.com/ http://www.northernbrewer.com/ Don’t forget about your local HB supplier!! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello everyone I am Steve and I am very new to Brewing beer. I have been reading your posts and find them very interesting. I was at a Christmas party 3 weeks ago and a friend of mine I work with brought in a cooler full of different beers. I didn’t know he brewed his own until I saw the caps labeled with numbers and a chart out side his cooler telling me all about the beer tastes. I was blown away from the taste. He even grew his own hops. I never thought about making my own until my wife bought me a MR. Beer kit. (don’t laugh) it gave me the fever of making my own beer. I have made my first batch and am waiting to taste it in a week or 2. I know Mr. Beer is a hokey way to make beer but it was fun anyway. Now for my question. Can some of you please list some web pages you use for information on brewing your own beer and also I would like to start purchasing the real stuff… I want to make my next batch the real way. Where can I purchase supplies at a good price and what exactly do I need to make my next beer? Thanks for your help in advance, Steve

Welcome Steve, I myself started a little less than 2 years ago with "The Beer Machine". I’m now doing all grain batches. definately go to www.howtobrew.com Then go to http://byo.com/referenceguide/supplydirectory/  to find a local homebrew store (LHBS) near you. Thats where you’ll learn the most. A few on-line retailers I’ve used successfully www.midwestsupplies.com www.annapolishomebrew.com  www.homebrew.com and www.morebeer.com . There are countless others. Just go to your search engine and type in homebrew or home made beer. Thats basically what I did. You can also do a search from this newsgroup and find some good info for newbies. Enjoy and good luck with your start up.

There are many, a Google search for homebrewing and home brewing will yeild lots of places to look…. I suggest you start here www.howtobrew.com and also I would like to start purchasing the real stuff… I want to make my next batch the real way. Where can I purchase supplies at a good price and what exactly do I need to make my next beer?

If you have nothing but a Mr.B, I suggest you get the necessary equipment and start by going to www.williamsbrewing.com if you practice good sanitation, you are almost guaranteed success on the first batch and the equipment and kit will total out at about $100.  From there you can decide on many, many HBS that offer kits, supplies, etc at cheaper prices.  Learn the process first before trying to save money… You will also need a pot, way to heat it, and bottles… Cheers, Mike
