All You Need to Create a Tasty Brew
I’m a newbie to brewing beer, but this kit made it very easy to execute. All of the ingredients required were included. Packaging was clear. Instructions were very easy to follow. I definitely recommend the product and will certainly try other kits from this company.

Mild-tasting brown ale – kit works fine.
This kit was complete and worked as intended to make a passable, but somewhat bland brown ale. Certainly not bad beer, but not complex, and I wish I had added more hops or a different malt. Does what it says on the label!

The best there ever was!
I have been brewing now for almost 10 years. I like the kits because they are easy, and for the most part, all have been very good beers. I have dabbled between Northern Brewer (#1), Boomchugalug (#2) and Brewer’s Best (#3). Out of all the kits I have used, this beer by far stands alone. In fact, I think its the best IPA I have ever made. An IPA has many unique flavor profiles, and can be scary experimenting with a kit trying to make one. This one is a can’t miss! Definitely a beer kit I am ordering again and will maintain in my rotation.

Fun kit
This was a fun project, my first attempt at milk stout. Came out very good, great chocolate flavor, but not too heavy. My family liked it at least.

Great Beer
A winner of a beer. Easy to brew and tastes great.2 things you should know though1. This beer turned out way darker than the pic. This is due to being an extract kit and a relatively small volume. But this in no way affected the flavor. Just an FYI.2. I lost a significant portion of this beer to racking. Due to the many additions of hops etc there is a lot of sediment and this took 3 rounds of racking for me to get the beer clear enough to drink. I want to say I lost a gallon total, but to be fair I didnât measure.Still an awesome beer and have already bought another. I will attempt to minimize my losses of volume and try a few tricks this time to try for a better color, but Iâm not stressed about either.

Fiance Loved This!
So, I know this sounds sappy but we both ended up getting each other the same gift idea for Christmas last year. He got me a wine kit, I bought the beer kit for him. We decided to start a new adventure for the new year by making this. It was awesome! We had a lot of fun making this together and watching it brew. I’m not a big IPA fan, but he loved the beer (which is all I care about). Definitely recommend this company and their kits. The instructions were easy to follow and we were able to make a great batch of beer from it!

Best porter ever.
This is one of my all time best batches. I added 1/2 cup of whole coffee beans in secondary after 3 weeks. 3 days later I removed the coffee beans and let it continue in secondary for 1 more week. The finished product is quite delicious. I will brew again and next time will do all grain. It is close to Irish Death with coffee and Bourbon overtones.
