Please add me too. I’ve been aiming to try homebrewing beer and ale, can you recommend a starter kit?

You are added. Try looking at the MoreBeer web site for their starter kits. They ship for free and some of the kits can be heavy.

I got a kit from Brewer's Best as a gift last Christmas. I added the secondary fermenter, a thermometer, wort chiller, and a little nicer siphon for not much extra money. They also do "kits" of beer complete with grains, LME, hops, yeast, priming sugar, and enough bottle caps to do a 5-gallon batch with very easy to understand and follow instructions.

However, I'd recommend when you get sanitizer, there's a liquid sanitizer called STAR that is very effective--1/2 an ounce will be enough to sanitize all your equipment and bottles each time you make wort, transfer, or bottle your beer.

And correction to last--I used Weizenbier, not Witbier. Slight difference.
