You're welcome, and a reminder to everyone who is just getting started 
that there is club-owned equipment that may be borrowed by members.  
What I can recall this minute is:
1 ten-gal stainless pot with valve
1 5-gal round orange drink cooler turned into a mash tun
1 burner
1 propane tank
Siphon-starter and vinyl tubing for transferring (the hook is broken but 
it still works fine.)

People who would be brewers should get their own fermenter bucket/lid 
and sanitizer.  Spoon.  And ingredients!  I almost always have extra 
carboys and can usually lend a carboy for some body who wants to 
secondary but doesn't want to buy one just yet.  I would lend my 
"lighter" torch if I weren't needing it the same day; it makes lighting 
burners so much easier!  The 10 gal pot and the burner set-up is what 
can make it possible (the big pot) and fast (the burner) to boil a whole 
five gallon batch.

And speaking of brewing, all of John Palmer's "How To Brew" first 
edition is available online at <http://www.howtobrew.com/>, and it's a 
fantastic resource.

My Sunday batch (American brown) spewed.  Just a little it, enough to 
get the bubbler and bucket top all beery and cruddy, but not the floor.
