Coming from meade you probably have some equipment that can also be used in beer making. The easiest way to get into beer brewing these days is to start with an all-in-one (AiO) electric system. You can mash and boil in the same kettle. Some electric units use regular 110v household current and others like the Anvil Foundry 6.5 and 10.5 are even switchable to use both 110 or 220. Most everything that comes with them can be stored in the main kettle when not in use so you can stash them easily in a closet. You can find them in a wide range of costs from just a few hundred dollars to a thousand or more. Spend some time doing your research and have fun.
