Thanks guys. I found a home brew shop a half hour from my work and I'll be stoping by on Thursday. I am borrowing a turkey pot from a buddy of mine for my brew pot and I'll be sticking to bare bones stuff for this first brew. If it seems like something I enjoy I'll start looking for the better stuff.
So I hope to get a drinkable beer from my first batch and I hope to enjoy the process. If all goes well I'll be buying higher end equipment and brewing myself some dang good brews.
