Hello all, I am getting ready to take the plunge and buy equipment to join your ranks as a home brewer. I must say I am a little intimidated buy all the variety of equipment I have seen at various sites. As I look at kits available, I always see good, better and best kits. Some companies "best" kits are much more involved than other companies "best" kits.
I decided to ask the experts here just what a guy needs. I am looking at a good overall kit that won't require me to keep upgrading over and over. Is there a check-off list somewhere to what all is needed or possibly some assistance as to point me to threads already here as to what I need? I don;t believe in overkill but them don;t believe in going cheap. I want to get it right the first time so I can enjoy the process and not constantly worry about what I need next.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I look forward to learning the process and enjoying the experience. Thank you for your time and help
