How I did it: I first tried a brew-on-premis where they have all the equipment and ingredients. Then I went to a local homebrew store and got a book and the essential ingredients and equipment.
The easiest way to start is with a kit (homebrew stores will sell things like a 'sam adams' clone kit) that has all the correct ingredients rather than trying to find all the correct quantities of each ingredient in a recipe.
