If all goes as planned, I'll be buying my brewing equipment this weekend.
Would I be wise to purchase a kit such as this for my first?
Or would I be better off buying a kit like this:

To boil, or not to boil? What's better for a new guy? (that wheat beer looks really good - I love wheat beer.)

Also, a secondary question: Is it possible to add fruit to either of these kits to add some flavour? (apricot, blueberry etc).

Or would I be better off buying a kit like this:
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica] The reigning Australian National champion wheat beer. A golden yellow, highly aromatic Weiss style of beer with excellent head and vanilla overtones. This is a classic Weizenbier, clear and bright until chilled, then cloudy but golden. As with all good Weizenbiers, it tends to be very frothy in the early stages of fermentation. When fermenting Golden Sheaf it is recommended that a fairly large fermentor be used to allow for the early stage frothing. Color in 23 liters ebc 5.5 - bitterness 20 IBU.[/FONT]
