Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

    First the customer support of northern brewer is top notch


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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