  • This is a great kit
Size: Chinook IPA with Testing Equipment
You will either brew once and never brew again OR this beginner kit will kick off the start to a great hobby. Everything you need to get started.

  • Awesome way to get into home brewing!
Size: Chinook IPA with Testing Equipment
This is the BEST kit for beginners! The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. All the equipment provided worked perfectly (buckets are quality and don't leak!). Our first beer turned out surprisingly well considering it was the first time we EVER brewed our own beer. It was well carbonated and stayed fresh long enough for us to distribute to friends. We made the IPA from the Northern Brewer kit and we got alot of great feedback on taste. Our second beer we made was not Northern Brewer but we used all the same equipment and came out with another quality beer. So glad I bought this kit! ... show more

  • Great Set but You Need Autosiphon
Size: Chinook IPA with Testing Equipment
As a new home brewer I am glad I purchased this as a starter set to brew 5 gallon batches. I started out with a few 1 gallon batches to get the hang of home brewing before purchasing this. This set is great because you get the boil kettle, fermenter bucket and bottling bucket, as well as some other equipment. The boil kettle is a little thin but seems to get the job done. It is 5 gallons all the way up to brim so DO NOT put 5 gallons of water in it and expect to boil wort! Most recipe kits address this by having you boil 2.5-3 gallons and top it off in the fermenter. My one complaint about this after my first use is (as shown in the photos) the fermenter bucket comes with a hole drilled for a spigot. I would rather it not be drilled at all. The description says it’s a siphonless setup but if you try to transfer your fermented beer to the bottling bucket using the spigot you WILL transfer a lot of the yeast cake/trub. I recommend investing in a large autosiphon. One with a clip makes this whole process way easier when working alone. I just bottled my Chinook IPA and cant wait for it to be finished! It already tastes pretty good. ... show more

  • Very good starter kit for a beginner
Size: Chinook IPA with Testing Equipment
I have two suggestions. The instructions don't have pictures and the YouTube videos could be better. So take your time and read the instructions 3 to 4 times. Then strategically layout everything and clean everything like you are about to perform surgery. Here is the last suggestion, take your time. If you are not careful, you might accidentally skip a critical step and ruin the entire batch. This means slow and steady is the way to go. I am going to bottle next week. I'll update the review after I bottle the beer and taste it. ... show more

  • Great Gift - Great Customer Service
Size: Chinook IPA with Testing Equipment
I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas, as he's always wanted to brew his own beer. I also bought him a book for beginners, since he is very technical and needs everything to be perfect. He brewed the CHINOOK IPA and it turned out pretty good. He since then has went to our local beer store to make another IPA. I messaged the company after the first time using this, when the tube to transfer the beer into the bottles was leaking. I asked if they could send a replacement and they sent a full new brewing kit. They were extremely helpful and sent this out right away. Thank you for a lovely gift! ... show more

  • Great project lots of fun
Size: Chinook IPA with Testing Equipment
When it says brew day it means day!!! When it says bottling day it means day!!! You will spend 4+ hours on brew day as a beginning and about the same for bottling day. The rest of the time requires patience. I left it to ferment and extra 11 days because it was still producing and my alcohol content came out to 5.9% before I added the primer sugar for carbonating in the bottles. It’s great to have a friend standing around watching you figure out everything (you could say they are a helper but it really isn’t that way you can do it in your own it’s just a lot more fun it’s a friend, plus when you stink up the kitchen on brew day your wife won’t be as harsh about making the house smell like a brewery. LoL Oh also when it says use half a bag of hops then save the rest for later put the rest in a zip lock bag to add later. When you add the hoops later be very careful to not allow much air in try to keep it as controlled as possible by only cracking the lid to add the last of the hops. I also used 25oz flip top bottles that I washed and reused. Originally they had organic lemonade, I think beer is a huge upgrade... ... show more
