I am thinking about getting into beer home brewing as a hobby, would you recommend buying a starter kit or buy the equipment piece by piece and if so what kit? What pieces? And what sites would you recommend checking out?

buy all you need in one and you will have all you need without any of the pitfalls.

If you invest a bit more (around $150) in some real brewing equipment instead of one of those plastic kits, you can make great beer. Depending on the recipe, you can make something on par with your favorite $10 6-pack. It takes about a month per batch (the standard is 5 gallons, about 2 cases of beer), but it's fun to do and the wait is definitely worth it. The best part is, you can get different recipes and make just about any kind of beer you can imagine. If you calculate the cost of ingredients, it's about the same price (per volume) to brew your own beer as it is to buy some horrible cheap swill like Natty... but you'll get a delicious handcrafted ale instead.
