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-likeReviewed by yosemite sam, 2010-01-14
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.

Easy BeerReviewed 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.
