I've seen a lot of kits and adds online to brew your own beer, but they don't seem all that easy or great. How costly is it to brew your first batch that will actually taste good to friends who you share it with?

And any suggestions on what kit(s) to start with?

How much should I plan to spend to get my a brew that will actually taste good to me and friends I share it with?
