  • Great for those just starting out
Flavor Name: White House Honey Ale
I purchased this kit because I just started getting into the whole homebrew area. I wanted something that included everything you would need, was easy to follow and fun. So this includes everything you need with the exception of the bottles and caps. If you decide to purchase a kit like this just make sure to add those on. You won't need them for at least 30 days but its nice to have everything on hand. With that said let me get into the kit and recipe. I received this kit and sadly the Glass Carboy was cracked. It wasn't a huge crack and while I might have been able to use it I decide to not and request a replacement. With the glass eventually under some pressure there was a chance it could break further completely ruining my first beer brew and I didn't want that. Thankfully customer service was quick to respond and they sent off a replacement carboy. Being in Alaska I would imagine is a pain for many of these companies but we have postal service, fedex and ups just like everywhere else. In any case I received the replacement carboy and started on my homebrew adventure. The directions are very easy to follow and include a bit about the process from a 1000ft over-view. Keep it simple, nice. The process is pretty easy to follow and I was able to get through with no issues and put my batch in the carboy. The hardest part is now, the wait. So they recommend waiting 2 weeks before moving on to the next stage which is bottling. And then another 2 weeks then before you drink it. So 30 days before you can taste your beer. Okay I was a little impatient and had a bottle before 2 weeks. It wasn't as carbonated as store bought beers which I actually kind of like. I think we over carbonate our beers and they are all like dang champagne but that's just me. So my first beer was okay. I went with the honey ale and it only had the very slightest of honey taste to it. All told I was able to get 11 bottles (12oz) out of a gallon. I'm down to my last 4 bottles and they have a bit more carbonation but not to much. I am able to get a slight head on the beer when pouring which goes away fairly quick. Still it tastes pretty good. I ordered other recipes and can't wait to try those.!! Some recommendations to the CraftABrew folks going forward with these kits. Package the Glass Carboys in some more protection. I have seen previous folks state they also had received the carboy cracked or broken. I think packing in some better protection would help prevent this. The instruction booklet only comes with the kit. This should be stated somewhere or perhaps ask the customer if they need one. It would be nice if the book was a bit more sturdy. I'll be putting mine in some protection as i referred back to it each time i made one of the other recipes. Overall though this is a good kit and really is easy to follow. I would definitely recommend it for first time folks or maybe even old timers. Lastly, Make SURE YOU USE A BLOWOFF ASSEMBLY during the first 24-72 hours. There will be LOTS of foam and activity and you'll need it otherwise you will end up with a mess. ... show more

  • Positively Impressed
Flavor Name: American Pale Ale
I’m extremely pleased with this purchase—it exceeded my expectations in every way. The product arrived right on time, securely packaged, and in flawless condition. The instructions were clear, well-written, and easy to follow, which made setup a breeze. All necessary components were included, with the exception of a few common household items, which was completely reasonable. What really stood out to me was the excellent post-sale follow-up; I received an email confirming everything had arrived safely and was functioning properly—a thoughtful and professional touch. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. ... show more

  • Inspirational and Desire Creating.
Flavor Name: Light Lager
One of the few truly inspirational products on all of Amazon. As someone who enjoyed beer, I was naturally interested in brewing my own beer. With absolutely zero experience, I was able to create an amazing tasting beer on my first try. Everything is laid out in easy to follow instructions, and all included items have been nothing short of prestine and professional. This has been my 4th purchase with this company. Getting to the beer, every brew I make has an amazing color that is appropriate for the style. The aroma of each batch I've made is mouth watering as well. It's almost impossible to let the beer carbonate long enough because I want to drink it so bad. As for quantity, each gallon you ferment is typically going to let you bottle 10 different bottles, but beware, this beer will not last long as you find that you're captivated by it's flavor. Next, the added cleaning supplies also means that you dont need to worry too much about getting ready for the next batch you buy. Your sanitizer is already in the box. You just need to do a little scrubbing and you'll be ready to start your next brew. Trust me, one kit won't be enough to satisfy all your desires. It's because of this amazing product that I now have a new goal to achieve, building my own micro brewery. This product not only gave me tasty beer, it gave me something fun to do, a new career path I want to pursue, and a motivation to see my beer on store shelves. Thank you to Craft a Brew for not only supplying an amazing product, but for creating a newly inspired entrepreneur. ... show more

  • Very good beginner kit, but thermometer and siphon could be better
Flavor Name: Light Lager
Great starter kit, everything needed is included to get you going. Knocking off one star for the fact the thermometer is a bit of a pain to use, a clip on thermometer would have worked a lot better, and the racking cane system is awkward to do and resulted in some spills. I invested in an auto siphon immediately afterwards. Overall, for a beginner it’s solid. Instructions are very clear and straightforward. ... show more
