All you really need is a carboy, large stock pot, thermometer, 5 gal food grade bucket and tubing, no rinse
sterilizer and bottles to start.
Ingredients change depending on the type of beer you like and your skill level. (extract, partial mash, or all grain brewing) A local brew shop will be the best place for information.
I have been brewing since 98 and if you are experiencing off flavors then you are not sterilizing everything. Sterilization is key.
If you have any specific questions feel free to contact me.
Oatmeal Stout brewed this past Dec.
