Any of the home brewers here have any advice for a first timer?
All depends on what kind of beer you like. The Mr. Beer system is very basic and easy. Each batch has its own instructions. The most important thing, and this goes for any home brew system, is to maintain sanitary conditions. Make sure you mix thoroughly and that you pitch your yeast at the right temp. Wait the 2 weeks for fermentation. Other than that, just follow their instructions and good luck.
