Pros & Cons
Pros
This kit contains everything needed to brew 1 gallon of beer, except the bottles. Received the glass little big mouth bubbler and contents to make the ipa.
Easy to follow instructions and a dvds guide. The process is pretty forgiving as well. The instructions are well detailed and easy to follow. We used both the provided written instructions as well as their youtube video to work through the steps.
The price is awesome for anyone who is unsure whether they want to try their hand at brewing or not. Not new to home brewing but downsizing since time away from hobby and moving into an apartment low on space. This is a purchase you will not regret!
Cons
The kit includes a pack of fizz drops which are not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. In the description it says neglects to inform you that it takes a month to brew.
Just tighten spigot little bit and broken the jar instantly and lost all the beer. Multiple parts inside came opened and damaged. Over half of the small batch grain blend had spilled out.
Highlights
Quality
Very detailed instructions and you cannot go wrong with the the process
It tasted like a lot of ipa brands on the market but with the difference being you make it yourself
I dont know what the problem was with the siphon i just couldnt get it to work properly
Now for the productthe instructions were clear and easy to follow
Shipping
I went with amazon because of the speed of shipping over northern brewing
Packaging/appearance
A week and a half later i tried one of the beers and it tasted great with a good head on the beer
Mostly the siphon and the bottle filler

So i approached this the same way and followed the instructions exactly

It works great as a starter kit but it only makes less than a 12 pack so if you want more you’ll have to upgrade
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Batch turned out well we just had a few small issues with what seems to be a hairline crack causing loss of suction in the siphon
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But that may very well have been user error

I also asked what was that item above with no reply yet

I have to agree with the other reviewers that the siphon sucks but in the bad sort of way not the literal way
