Beer Brewing Equipment
You can get a lot of great homebrewing equipment at Amazon at a great price. Here are a couple of beer making kits that you might want to check out first. This is basically the minimum you will need to start brewing and bottling your own beer.
The first set has carboys, which really help produce a better tasting beer. It is much harder for air to get in or out the vessel. In plastic cases that can happen sometimes. Another thing to note is that plastic containers are harder to clean and can hold smells and remains of previous batches.
Once you begin brewing, you might collect all sorts of interesting and unique tools, but an all in one kit like these is the best way to go at the beginning.
