It's amazing.
My brew is still in primary at 1.020 about to move to secondary. I grab my gravity samples with a wine thief but they don't make it back to the fermenter ;-) This kit is exquisite. The malt extracts and the grain packets are a spot-on clone of the Deschutes product (I'm in Oregon). The yeast sachet had a lag phase of less than 48h. It has a deep, dark chocolate coffee mocha savory mouth feel on the front of the tongue with the hoppy IPA bitterness on the back of the tongue for a full-featured flavor experience. I'll be ordering this kit ad-infinitum. I'm awaiting to the Dunkelweisen kit to pay hommage to the Widmer brothers Kurt and Rob. Dad likes Miller Lite, I ordered the American Lite kit too. Watch for my reviews on those. ... show more

Worth every penny for the results.
So I will confess that I made two mistakes when brewing this. My first mistake was using a 900-watt hot plate to boil the water over my 1200 watt induction burner, and the second was me pitching the yeast while the wort was too hot. So naturally, I worried that I somehow mucked up the recipe. But... It didn't. I waited for months, back aging some of the bottles for this review as well. I did not add, or attempt to enhance this recipe, so this will be a full pure review of it. Let's start with the instructions. Very clear and concise. I am including the fact that the brew took way longer than three hours. But this is NOT because of Brewer's Best, as I made the mistake of using a 900-watt hot plate. I am simply adding it so any potential newbies like myself can learn from it, and NOT do what I did! XD. That being said. If you follow the instructions it will turn out fantastic. Now we go onto the ferment. I did some research which made me worry about the English Ale Yeast included in the kit being pitched in too hot of a wort. But to my pleasure, it was absolutely fine. The ferment started up later in the evening and rolled on for about 8 days. Bottling was simple, and 7 days later I cracked one open after conditioning in the fridge. Which brings us to the most important part IMO: FLAVOR! It is a solid Porter! Roasty aromas, smooth chocolatey finish, and the Hops... Oddly enough, before I got into these partial kits I was not a real fan of strong Hop flavors and aromas. IPA is my least favorite, but I am now absolutely certain that's because I like super fresh hops. They added complexity and bitterness that complemented the finish with absolute perfection. Back aging for a handful of months did not disappoint either. It was still great, still smooth. I absolutely plan to buy this again, after I purchase a Stout kit from them. If you're newer to brewing, or just looking for a simple kit that requires no development (Those meat-and-potatoes moments,) then this kit is absolutely for you. ... show more

Best beer ever!
This is the best beer I’ve ever had! My wife got me this kit for my birthday but she didn’t realize it was for 5 gallons. I didn’t have equipment to make that much at a time but I was able to make it in two separate batches over a few months time. It was well worth the effort because everyone that tried it said it was awesome! ... show more

Brews well, too bitter
This kit brewed really well for me, everything included, clear instructions. I really enjoyed it. Ordering a different brew now, and next im going all grain kit. One caveat, if your a porter drinker you probably dont want alot of hops. I used 50% of provided hops(from 2 oz to 1 oz) and changed the initial hop boil time down to 50% of the boil time (from 1hr down to 30 mins). I didnt add any of the final flavoring hops at all. Beer is still a tad too bitter for my personal liking. I imagine if you used the full 2 oz and 1 hour boil that I'd have a Black IPA. Beer these days... ... show more

Great company
I’ve had other recipes that I liked more. The happiness of this one is a bit abrupt in the finish. I’ve made several other batches of different recipes from this company and loved them. This one is just not my favorite.

A good porter.
Heads up, I shorted the water in this recipe by about 2 gallons to increase the abv. It will take much longer than one week if you do this. After a week it had a wine flavor that cleared up three days after and became a nice tasty porter. The wort also tasted like a nice cup of coffee before it went into fermentation. I did make a small mistake of not fully straining the hops as I poured the wort into the fermenter, but it doesn't seem to have negatively impacted the beer. ... show more

Authentic porter
Great kit for the money. Used English ale yeast from Fullers brewery for authentic porter.

Great Price! No Issues!
A great complete kit for a low price. Wish all kits would get down to this price point. When kits get to $45-$50 anyone can get 2 cases of craft beer at any grocery store for that amount. Ok, there is fun in making your own, just saying this $32.00 kit makes a hobby do-able for the Average Joe in this economy. ... show more
