All you really need is hopped extract and yeast, right?

Probably, but I'm looking for kits that are style specific for review and possible publication of my findings.

I only did one or two of the Mr Beer kits before I branched out, but that's how I started.  I received the starter pack as a gift and then picked up more of the refill kits at one of the kitchen stores at the Outlet mall.  I think it's called Kitchen Connection?

A couple of years ago they had 5 or 6 "styles", they probably have more now.  They are simple but they work.

I haven't seen any hopped extracts that weren't in kits. Where would I find them?

Coopers or Muntons have hopped extracts you can buy from several online stores

Mr Beer is an option, I think they are made by Cooper's, but I'm looking for several different brands: Coopers, Munton's, Brewferm, Mountmellick, John Bull etc. to compare.

Those two are fairly easy to locate, on Amazon if nowhere else.
