Home Brewing with Mr. Beer

Skoii,
I recently "brewed" up some Cream Soda for my kids. I got the mix at the local brew shop. However, they mentioned to me NOT to use my Mr. Beer Keg to mix it. The soda pop base sticks to the pores in the plastic and cleaning it next to impossible. I purchased a 5 gal "ale pail" (essentially a 5 gal bucket with a spout hole) spout, tube and bottle filler to mix the soda in.
The cream soda came out ok, not great, but ok. I did Root Beer Yesterday, should be good in about 2 weeks. I'll report back on it.
The pail and the filler tube assembly are the best things I have ever bought to make the beer! The tube is spring loaded and when depressed in the bottle, it fills. When liquid reaches the neck of bottle, I remove the bottle filler, and it leaves just the right amount of space for carbonation. I also use the bottle and bucket assembly to do 5 gal beer packs from my local brew store and store separately in 2 Mr. Beer Kegs. I brewed up a batch of Coopers Austrailian Lager with a Plain Extra Light Malt also. Busy day. Happy 4th everyone!

The Mr Beer kit looks awesome! I live in the UK and have been researching a home brew kit that I could use, this looks like the best option for me. I just need to find someone who ships to the UK because we can't get the kit here. Anyway, thanks for all of the advice, and good on you for brewing beer.
