Buy the book "The Complete Joy of Brewing" written by Charlie Papizian. Great resource. It's how I learned to brew. (pre-internet days...)

There also a monthly magazine called "Zymurgy". Details here: http://www.beertown.org/homebrewing/zymurgy.html

I'm sure there's probably tons of websites as well. Try a Google Search.

Key thing for good beer are fresh ingredients, clean equipment, and patience.

I'd start simple, and brew with canned malt extracts and hop pellets, then move on to more sophisticated techniques such as all-wheat brewing later. Buy a nice glass car-boy as a fermentation vessel. Consider buying either a "roto-keg", or converting a draft soda canister to store your finished product. Bottling beer is a pain in the butt and time consuming.
