I've made heaps and heaps of beers, mainly from kit but a few from scratch. Its easy as to do, but hard to do right. The basic key is to follow the instructions with a kit and be very particular about keeping it clean, and don't go adding extra sugar just to make a high alcohol brew. Once you've got a few brews under your belt have a chat to your friendly home brew shop and start to experiment with malts, sugars and yeast combinations. Some of my favourite brews have been a vanilla stout, chocolate stout and some really nice Hoegarden style beers. Alcoholic ginger beer kits are really great to, always seem to be a big hit with non-beer drinkers.
Remember homebrew can be like a fart, you tend to appreciate your own more than other people do.
