It should make some passable brew if you follow the instructions well. It'll also give you a basic introduction to the process of brewing. That said, if you happen to enjoy the results enough to want to try another batch...
Don't use the Mr. Beer kits. Go to Northern Brewer, MoreBeer, or Williams Brewing, buy one of their starter equipment kits and a basic recipe kit, and use those. The equipment will cost you about $75 and the recipe kit another $35ish. You'll get 5 gallons of brew out of the deal (instead of the 2 or so from Mr. Beer), and the results are miles ahead of anything you'll get out of the Mr. Beer kit.

I couldn't agree more, Mr. Beer kits are toys for teenagers to play with. If you are serious about homebrew, get a kit from MoreBeer or Williams.

i've been checking some other sites out and they mentioned using the mr beer kit with other recipe kits. would you know where to pick up some better recipe kits that are 2 gallon instead of 5? my apartment is relatively small and it would be easier for me to have a 2 gallon kit
