Homebrewing kits: Any recommendations?

Hey everyone!

Does anyone know where I can pick up a beer kit around here in Washington, D.C.? I'm looking for an amateur homebrewing setup—something like those Mr. Beer kits... you know, this kind of thing...

Shipping on eBay is a total ripoff, and Amazon won't even ship to the States... if anyone's got the hookup, let me know! 😍

You can find a ton of YouTube videos showing you how to brew beer using basic stuff you already have in your kitchen—it’s way easier (and cheaper) to mess around with it at home than ordering takeout. Plus, it’s actually fun.

And don't forget about the homebrewing forums

You can probably dig up way more specific info over there if you look around.
