I'm going to start home brewing my own beer, and I want to start with a kit for my first try. Which is the best kit to use for a first-timer? I'm looking for something that will be easy and give me a strong chance of getting a good result. Also I want something that tastes good. Ideas? Suggestions?

Go to http://www.beertown.org/homebrewing/ to find out how to begin, and http://www.realbeer.com/edu/homebrewing/ to find out even more. Realbeer.com sells kits. I bought one last year, and I have to tell you, it's been worth every penny and then some. Have fun.

Find a local homebrew supply store and a local homebrewing club. Don't go with Mister Beer or the Beer Machine as these kits make inferior beer.

That kit goes against everything that being a homebrewer is about. Don't waste your time or money.
Order a book entitled "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian. Here is the Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Homebrewing-Third-Harperresource-Book/dp/0060531053/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-0823497-3140907?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174963973&sr=8-1
It is inexpensive and it is the basic bible for beermaking that every good homebrewer starts with. Papazian will guide you to making good, tasty beer right away that YOU control. Take an hour or two to read the first chapters and then go to the homebrew shop with some knowledge in your back pocket. You will be glad you did.
Every homebrewer I know who started with "kits" regretted it!

My brother and I both use a Mr. Beer. It's really simple but with the flexibility to brew more complex and induvidualized types of beers in the future. All the varieties we have tried so far have been drinkable to excellent, with the less tasty beers resulting from our inexpertise rather than the system. I would highly recommend it for a starter.
