I'm considering purchasing a small kit to try it out first. If we enjoying "Brewing" together maybe we'll look into bigger and better kits.
Definitely a few great ideas for Christmas presents!
Here's what I've found so far:
At only $35 the Mr. Beer Premium Edition is a bargain!
Make your own premium beer at a fraction of the cost of store bought beer. Brew your own beer in 14 days (7 days to ferment and 7 days to carbonate), simple, fun, and inexpensive. Makes a case of premium beer. Includes a Mr. Beer Brew Keg with lid, 8-1 liter PET bottles, Classic American Light mix, Booster Pack for flavor enhancement and alcohol boost, One-Step Cleanser to clean and disinfect brewing and bottling equipment.
For only $46 you get the Premium Gold Edition!
This kit includes two of our most popular beer mixes and the 2-gallon fermenter is made from FDA-compliant plastic, which leaves no taste or flavor migration. Lightweight and shatter resistant, it has a wide mouth that allows for easy cleaning. The 8 reusable plastic bottles are made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic, and they come complete with screw caps and labels. Hand wash keg and bottles in warm water with a soft cloth using mild, unscented soap, not dish soap, and avoid using scouring pads, wire brushes, or abrasives during cleaning.
If you're looking to jump right in, Monster Brew offers a cool Beginner kit for about $122

What do you think? Have you ever made your own HomeBrew?
We do brew our own beer! We started with wine kits, then homemade raspberry wine as that is what we grow. Then we bought a few beer kits with satisfactory results so we decided to try our hand at homemade beer made right from grain instead of kits. A great product and very cheap. A batch generally costs maybe $15.00 at the most including the propane used to heat the mash and boil the wort. Very fun!
