I cut my teeth on Brewers Best kits before changing to recipes.

morebeer.com has some great recipe kits put together by the professional brewers at the company. I did a brewers best kit once and wasn't too happy with the outcome.
I did an ipa and a watermellon wheat kit from williamsbrewing.com/ and they were both great. I tried a brewers best apa once it came out way too dark and at too high a gravity to really taste like an apa.
My local brew store has good kits, I have brewed two of their apa and its great.
I think I am going to stick with the recipes from here on out though. The kits were good to cut my teeth on for the process, now its time to learn about the ingredients.
Cheers
I tried the True Brew IPA kit. I think its classified as a Partial Mash/Extract kit. I had to steep the crystal malt and add extract also. It looked great. Nice head. Nice color. The taste couldve been a little better. That might be my fault though since it was the first 5 gallon batch I had ever brewed. It got better with time, I just popped the last one yesterday. It had been in the fridge for 4 or 5 months. But overall i think its a great way to get familiar with brewing. I enjoyed drinking it, so it was worth it to me!
try Midwest Brewing Supply online. Their kits are the best and I usually use a kit. They seem to be the cheapest even with shipping added in it beats my local hbs sometimes. They have a ton of kits and all the equiptment you need.
