Oh, brewing involves work... But it's good work... :)

Do yourself a favor, though, and don't go the "Mr. Beer" route... Find a homebrew supply in your area and ask them about starter kits... Ah, I remember when I got my True Brew kit... It was a great little adventure!

Other than a starter kit, you'll need a large pot and about 50 brown, crown bottles (like Sam Adams bottles)... And an ingredient kit, but they usually include that in the cost of a starter kit...

Some shops may also offer kegging starter kits if you don't want to deal with bottles. I'm looking at a Tap-A-Draft system after years of bottling, myself.

If you have any brewing questions, lemme know...
