As someone who brews his own beer, I do NOT recommend this. My girlfriend got me one over a year ago... the little keg leaked like a sieve at a seem line, the "beer" is not as advertised and not close to full bodied. I recommend spending the same on a two bucket setup (1 bucket is for fermenting, and the second bucket is optional if you don't want to bottle out of the first bucket; if you get one bucket only, I recommend burning a quart bottle and drain the first quart into it, but I like to save my yeast so I do this anyways), an airlock (I have both S trap and tri bubble, they both work great), and a real beer kit. You will thank yourself, and might even fall in love with the process... I am brewing 15 gallons at a time now over 3 fermenters... 2 batches of beer, 1 of mead.
@ Massdrop, if you want suggestions for real beer kits, let me know. I will be glad to help out.

I made 3 simple ones... a single bucket, a double bucket, and a more advanced all-in-one kit in google docs, linked them into the poll selection. I thought them out the best I could, and kept more niche items off the list. If this is successful, I will help come up with more ideas, like a niche hardware list or bottles.... all of which, I felt was not needed for a newbie, since you have big box stores that can get you anything you need and at cheaper prices than what you would pay for brewing specific stuff. I still use an 8 gallon boiler that i lift off of my stove and pour into my fermenters by hand. Even then, some people will argue that you need a gas boiler in your garage... whatever, lets get people brewing for themselves and get them to expand wherever they want to go from there.
ShadowLinksOddly enough, one of their beers tastes like Apple cider. Just add another pound of sugar, it will come out sweet and age into a nice semi-sweet tart beer. Good, but not beer.
