How can I get started in homebrewing?

A local homebrew shop is a good resource. Check the yellow pages under "beer and winemaking supplies." If there is one in your area, stop in and introduce yourself to the proprietor. Explain that you are interested in getting started. Most shops sell equipment kits containing most of what you will need for your first batch. Some offer homebrewing classes taught by experienced brewers.

Otherwise some great online shops are:

Also check if there is a local homebrew club in your area, clubs are an excellent source of information and an opportunity to share your passion with others of a like mind. Homebrewers are very social and eager to help new brewers. You can learn a lot by watching and helping others brew.

Online forums are another "club" like resource. Here are a few good ones...
