I would definitely stay away from "Mr Beer". IMO, get a kit from a
reputable homebrew store. A local store would be great since you can go
in and ask them questions. There are lots of online places as well
though. I like to use [url]www.morebeer.com[/url] for things that my local store
doesn't carry.

At the above site, either the BRKIT1 ($69) or BRKIT2 ($99) would work
fine. However, with both of those you'll need to buy your own kettle
(large pot) and collect empty bottles for the beer. Ingredients also
come seperately.

If you go with the BRKIT3 ($205), it already includes a kettle, bottles,
and ingredients for your first beer.

It depends on how much you want to spend and what pieces you might
already have (some people will already have a suitable kettle, etc).
