Simple beer

Hi all,

I am just starting out w/ home brewing and am looking to buy a kit which will have all the equipment I will need. I am looking to start out simple but I don't want the equipment I buy to restrict me too much as I advance my skills. 
I am looking to focus on simple beers in the beginning - I'd love to brew up some IPA and simple ales. Can anyone shed some light on how suitable the kits I linked to would be? Or recommend another kit?

Also, can anyone recommend any brew stores in the NYC metro area? (Preferably Queens or Long Island)

Thanks
Jacab

 

You should be able to get a kit that includes most of that stuff (perhaps a bottling bucket instead of a carboy) except for the $30 ingredient kit for about $50.

Start with that and some bottles left over from your favorite commercial beer that comes in bottles that require a bottle opener to open them.

Probably the closest homebrew store to you is Niagara Tradition Homebrew in Buffalo (http://www.nthomebrew.com). For $70, you can get a starter kit that includes the ingredients for your first batch in one of several varieties.
