Mr Beer makes "OK" beer. You can get food grade 5 gallon fermentation vessels with lids and locks pretty cheaply, and buy ingredients online or at a local brew shop if you have one. Going with a kit is how most people start out homebrewing, but once you start experimenting with different types of hops and barley, or barley extracts, you'll not be satisfied by the pre-packaged kits.
You will be pretty much stuck brewing ales unless you invest in some more (expensive) equipment. Lagering beer takes some more equipment since the fermentation takes place at lower temperatures.
Start saving beer bottles with those flip tops or ones that require a bottle opener. The twist top bottles won't hold a good seal. Later, you might move on to kegging your beer as I do when I brew.
Don't follow the instructions that say to put a certain amount of sugar or extract in each bottle for carbonation. This is how a lot of exploding beer bottles are made by homebrewers. Add the sugar to the entire batch of beer just prior to bottling.
Keep everything clean and sanitary! This is the most important thing in brewing! Contamination will ruin your beer.
I am very, very, very impressed that you publish your creds for us to applaud.Quote:

I'm so very, very, very, glad. After all, you you you were the one who brought it up. Perhaps you should retire that little tactic.Quote:

Nice shift on your claim, by the way. I don't recall saying that zymurgy was "more art than chemistry" or anything similar, so go ahead and kick that strawman's ass, you master debater!
The beer is in "EXPLODE MODE" now. Just bottled it up and waiting another week to see the final out come. Tasting it right out of the fermentation container, it wasn't that bad. Time will tell. The appearance is that of a lambic.
So? How was it?
Woot.com had a deluxe Mr Beer kit for $20 the other week (+$5 shipping) so I snagged one. I looked at the website to see what else they had and in the end picked up another fermenter for $10 and a cider mix. Both are currently sitting in a large Coleman cooler in my basement. I'm using a spare remote indoor/outdoor thermometer to keep an eye on the temps. So far less than a full degree of variation.
I used to do the stuff in 5 gallon batches and keg. I still have one keg left as well as a hydrometer, carboy, bottle washer, capper, etc. This just looked like a way to get back in to it with a minimum of fuss. I don't think I'll use the liter PET bottles that came with the keg. I have to run in for a root canal Thursday morning and that takes me right past the homebrew supply store so I think I'll just spring the $14 for a case of 12 oz bottles. I've already got a case of 12oz green bottles. Local store is selling 7Up made with can sugar for $3 a 6 pack. $12 for a case of good cider bottles plus someone gets to drink the 7Up (I don't drink soda much any more and almost always a diet variety when I do).
I'm giving some thought to using the carboy to make a few gallons of wine.
I brewed up my usual batch of raisin jack (aka prison hooch) for the holiday season. I did everything as I always do. I made 3 buckets of it but 2 buckets came out spoiled and had to be dumped. I was only able to salvage one bucket which came out okay. Didn't taste too great (it rarely does) but it had an awesome kick. This was the first year I ever had any problems. Usually it all comes out good.
