Hey everyone,
Right now I'm buying coopers kits and adding in a few pounds of DME and so far am liking it, however it's running me about $35 for the can/DME/priming sugar.
I'm thinking of ordering this from AHS:

I'll probably pick up yeast from my local store since $7 for the wyeast greenbelt seems really expensive, don't know if it's worth it when I can grab decent yeast for a couple bucks (like a muntons or something)
Questions:
Cost to ship to Toronto, Canada. I'm wondering if I will get hit with duties or taxes when it crosses the border. They say free shipping over $100 but that's probably only for americans.
Second: doing the extract option, I don't have very big pots. I could probably get a couple gallons into a pot and fit the bag in, however its only about a 3 gallon pot. Would that be okay?
Finally, is it all worth it? I enjoy blonde beers like Canadian and Budweiser (I'm a noob, i know) and the Coopers Canadian blonde is pretty good so far!
Thanks, hoping to step up the difficulty and quality a little bit
