I am looking for a beer brewing kit and am willing to spend up to $120. Any one able to recommend one?

I like the answer that the Brew Beer and Drink It site gives about cleaning your home brewing equipment. It seems like it's really important to get it right or you can mess up all of your beer.

The Seven Bridges Cooperative has some nice looking organic starter kits for beer brewing;

It's very individual. If you use more, it speeds up the fermentation process but also alters the taste. I would recommend somewhere between 15-30 balls. But you should check what the directions say (yeast balls should come with some instructions on the back). Because if it's a different make to the one I'm used to, it might be completely different quantities.

NO! Don't put your beer in direct sunlight. The sun will promote the growth of bacteria and this will ruin your batch of beer. It's fine to put them somewhere warm, just not in direct sunlight. Good Luck and have patience and you will end up with a good brew.

Brewing your own beer requires you to boil and make beer with a wort extract. Extract brewing is where you use reconstituted wort to make your own beer. This method is much quicker and requires a lot less equipment than all grain brewing, which involves creating your own wort from the beginning.

It's a great thing to make your own beer from scratch but it's a much more complicated and involved process than brewing your own from wort that you purchases.

Toronto has a great selection of microbreweries. I will name a few here for you but I recommend looking up some more online.
