Thank you for accepting me to the group l am looking into getting a starter kit. They're so many to choose from so any advice would be appreciated. I like to drink Guinness and Newcastle Brown thank you
 
Welcome
Only been Brewing for a couple of years its a steep learning curve but enjoyable . If its All Grain you are looking to get into Crossmyloof do a Newcastle Brown clone not tried it so cannot say if its good or bad .
 
Welcome!
You can spend a fortune on gorgeous kit. But you can also spend very little and stick your your in the water to see if you like it.
If you use malt extract, you can get away with buying a plastic fermenting bin and not much else. Strictly speaking you don't even need a hydrometer, although these are so cheap it is well worth it.
Unless money is not a constraint for you, I would suggest setting yourself a total budget and keeping to that.

Forums like this are fantastic, but it is easy to get swept away by the possibilities with expensive kit. So my other recommendation would be to get a book, eg charlie papazians complete joy of homebrew, which describes the equipment required for different types of brewing - from very basic to total enthusiast. Relax, don't worry have a homebrew!

Cheers
