First time Brewer......

hey yall my name is Aaron and im a first time brewer and from the sounds of it Mr. Beer is a great beginners kit.... so should i get the Gold Premium or is there a different one i should go with? im also reading the Extreme Brewers book as well and wanted to do one batch regular and then experiment a bit as i have some ideas.......
any advice would be helpful.....

Check out Midwest Supplies for a starter kit. 6.5 gal bucket, 5 gal carboy and all the equipment. Personally, I'd skip the Mr. Beer and go for something like that.

^Yup and read John Palmer's How to Brew...most of it is availible online at HowtoBrew.com!

Another good read is BEER BREWING FOR DUMMIES. I read both this one and John Palmer's book, and found this one to be a faster read, more up-to-date, and more useful.

I'd also skip the Mr. Beer and go straight to buckets and 5 gallon extract kits. You'll have an easier time making better beer and really get the process down to move into full grain if you get addicted.

I did a Mr. Beer kit in the early 2000s and my beer came out crappy so I thought brewing was just difficult and I wasn't cut out. I did my first batch in December on start equipment and it came out great. 14 good batches later, I did my first advanced all-grain last weekend and expect it to be my best to date.

I'm addicted.

I agree with what everyone else is saying. Personally, I started with a Mr. Beer kit and brewed four batches before moving to a five gallon extract batches. After several of those, I am now doing all grain batches using the BIAB (brew in a bag) method. The beer you make with Mr. Beer will be drinkable, but I feel like I wasted some time and money on Mr. Beer when I could have been doing bigger and better things.
