This gift made me feel like the Wife of The Year!

Reviewed by Linda V. Montano, 2010-02-06

The moment my husband caught a glimpse of it, he was as excited as a little kid in a toy and candy store! He was telling everyone (friends, family, and co-workers) about it and soon had his brother over to begin brewing the first batch. A few weeks later we all got to try the best beer ever: a crisp, refreshing Blond Ale Lager! Right now we have the 2nd batch going of Cowboy Golden Lager and it's in the fermentation process- it's really cool to see the whole process from the amber-colored jug it comes with. Right now we're seeing the yeast rise and bubble on top- it's really cool!! Soon it will begin dissolving and marrying into the liquid to begin turning into BEER!! It's fun seeing how the guys always check it out when they come over- really good male bonding I think. ;)

The kit even comes with monthly coupons for the first year to keep 'em brewing- and it really is not expensive at about $10 to brew 2 gallons. And after shopping around and researching for a beer brewing kit last year to find other ones that were very expensive (around $100 for starter kits), this one was affordable, had great reviews, gave you a "bang for your buck", and is user-friendly. I highly recommend it.

Judging on my husband's reaction and how he lovingly told me he constantly keeps thinking "I have the best wife ever", this deserves 5 Stars!!!!!

very cheap appearing, flimsy; toy-like

I agree with another reviewer in that this is much more like a toy. i was surprised that the keg and bottles were plastic. the 'keg' looked like what would be around a St Bernards neck. It is very hard to take this product seriously and even more so to think that the keg and bottles will be lasting, and not fall to ruin in short order.

Considering the tackiness of the kit, i feel that is is way overpriced and that there are much better ways to go; ways that give greater value over the long run.

But, the important concern, the taste. I was quite disappointed in the beer quality that was made from this kit, with a 10-high rating, this beer would be but a grudging 5.

As an aside, while one should not really have to contact their customer service; I did, and with lasting regrets and would avoid doing that again...better to buy elsewhere I think.

Great gift item...

This Kit is a great starter kit or great as second kit to try new beer recipes. We bought this kit to try new recipes without to fill our 7gallon keg.
Great Gift Idea for friends and family who enjoy to drink a good beer.

Easy Beer

Reviewed by Eric Stoner, 2009-11-18

It took an hour or so to start off, but it went well. I have the wort in the keg and I assume it is fermenting nicely. In two weeks I will transfer to the bottles.

Everything seems decent in quality, nothing professional, but its a cheap fun way to start brewing beer.

I will update later if I can figure out how once the beer is done.

update 12/26: The brew came out about a two weeks ago, I left it in the keg for 2 weeks and it has been in the bottles since. I drank a few of them in the past week (today they have been in the bottles for a little over 3 weeks) and they taste great. The bottling process was not difficult at all and I am impressed with how well this beer came out, it is much better than I expected for a cheap home beer kit.

If you want to try to brew your own beer I would definitely recommend this kit.
