As was stated earlier, any beer resembling PBR is a lot harder to brew than you think. A profile that small screams out any mistakes you might have made. Those dudes have PBR making nailed down to an absolute science...Don't be fooled.
However...First thing to do is read John Palmer's book
How to Brew & Charlie Papazian's book
The Complete Joy of Homebrewing...Read them both a few times.
Then, buy this:

Look up how to modify it for brewing...There are several instructional videos & websites that utilize a toilet hose, ball valve & a few fittings.
Also, pick up a 20+ quart stainless steel pot & some long spoons.
Then, go online & order this:

Buy 5 more cornelius kegs...You'll need them.
Look for a clone recipe of a beer you like & brew it like 5 times.
