Homebrew Bug....

Hey guys...the homebrew bug bit me! I have not brewed any beer in about 7-8 years - the only equipment I have are one 6.5 gal and one 5 gal glass carboys. My first 2-3 batches didn't come out too well so I decided to leave it to the pros...not anymore. Looking back at what I did I hope to correct my mistakes and make some good brew.

Going to check out a local homebrew store here just south of Richmond and check out the goods.

The past week or so I've been looking at morebeer.com, Northern Brewer and Williams brewing.

I will be extract brewing and plan on getting a brew kettle large enough for a full 5 gal boil…and also want to use this in the future if I decide to step-up to all grain brewing.

Now.....I need to know what equipment can you guys NOT do without and what I shouldn’t even bother with.

Recommendations on the following would be great

Brew kettle
Wort chiller (immersion or couterflow?)
22 oz bottles or kegging equipment?
Do I need a dedicated refrigerator with a controller to keep the fermentation temps down?

Any tips to help out would be great...thanks guys.
