There is a great brew shop in my home town:
http://www.thebeveragepeople.com/ (get their catalog!)
I have dabbled in home brewing for quite some time, and the above people will answer questions and are honest and have great equipment and decent prices. Also they will ship to anywhere.
Here is a good starter kit:

They have cheaper kits, and better ones...
Get a couple of books too....check out their books section.
Good luck and happy brewing..If you like to cook and you like beer, youll LOVE to brew.
Peace
