Very often there is a problem of yeast contamination, and places where bacteria can contaminate beer. I buy quite a lot of supplies from the Reno Home Brewer. Great prices even with the UPS fees. http://www.renohomebrewer.com/ You can get a pretty basic starter kit on your own, and brew a batch of extract Sierra knock-off for @ 35.00 for 5 gallons. (You can even buy the recipe, cascade hops and sierra yeast which used to be Y-yeast 1035, but has several other names) Still, if you like what you're making, that's great! Also...try as many beers as you can and take notes describing flavors, that's a great way to learn.
