I bought one of those MR Beer keg things for like 5 bucks and got a kit with 3 different beers in it. My first one was a canadian pale ale the one i got going right now is an Octoberfest Vienna Lager with a little bit of brown sugar and table sugar. The first one is still priming but i've already drank about half of it
It came out pretty good. Not great by any means but has definatly got me started.
