Amazon.com Review
In just 14 days, beginning and advanced brewers alike can enjoy a glass of premium, handcrafted beer with this home-brewing kit. The 2-1/2-gallon brewing keg features a pour tap and wide-mouth lid for easy cleaning by hand. Included with this starter kit are a can of West Coast Pale Ale mix, which produces twenty 12-ounce bottles of mild, full-bodied beer, and a single-use packet of booster, which contains all-natural carbohydrates that enhance flavor and boost alcohol content. The beer-making ingredients are simply mixed with water, left to brew in the keg at room temperature for a week, and then put into bottles (not included) for another week, during which time natural carbonation takes place. No carbon-dioxide cartridges are needed to enhance sparkle or beer head. A dozen plastic bottle caps printed with the Mr. Beer logo are also included, as well as an instruction booklet full of brewing tips and recipes. Other Mr. Beer mixes and booster packs can be ordered separately. The keg is made of FDA-compliant PVC, which does not impart taste or color, and is virtually indestructible. --Ann Bieri

Excellent home brew beer kit September 6, 2008
I recently purchased this kit in july. After reading as much as I could on the Mr Beer kit for about two weeks I had seen two views. One that the beer is great, and the other that it comes out bad or the Mr Beer kits dont have good brews. Well Im vouching for myself as I have just drank two of some of the best beers I have ever had. The kit Mr Brew provides you with in this is a pale ale, its smooth and light in taste and should appeal to about 90% of beer drinkers as a good tasting beer.

The BIGGEST MISTAKE people make with this is that they are not sanitary. This is the only way they do not end up with great tasting beer. So I highly recommend this kit and say that when you do decide to do this, OVER sanitize everything rather than not enough. Take your time to read the instructions in advance, and have everything prepared and be organized. I let my mix sit in the keg for 10 days at 75-77 degrees. Then I prepared the bottles and added EXACTLY the right amount of table sugar to each bottle and then poured the fermented beer in the bottles and capped them. I let those sit in the same dark room for two weeks(14 days) again at 75-77 degrees. THEN I put the entire box into the fridge for a third week to give it a nice cold lager. The longer you wait with the carbonating beer the better it will taste. SO get the kit, TAKE YOUR TIME AND SANITIZE PROPERLY AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

I bought this item for my husband as an early birthday gift. He really enjoyed making the beer and was impressed with the results. Very smooth beer with no aftertaste. I would recommed this to anyone who enjoys a fun project and an occasional beer on those hot days.

It's Quick...It's Easy... July 15, 2008

...and it produces decent results for the casual home brewer who doesn't want to invest a lot of money and time making 5 gallon batches.

It's well worth the few extra dollars to buy the premium or deluxe mixes and...in general...bypass those recipes that use Booster. Shop smart @ mrbeer.com and save on shipping. You can also get mail-order refills from 'Plow and Hearth' in Madison, VA (AAA members get a 10% discount, which all but pays for the shipping).

It takes less than an hour to sanitize the equipment (keg and brew pot) and mix the ingredients. Once fermentation is complete...it takes less than an hour to sanitize...prime...and fill your bottles.

Fermentation takes a week or two for most batches. Once it's bottled...let it sit for two to three weeks...then put some in the refrigerator for a week.

It pays to buy some extra bottles so you can enjoy a few different varieties and have a continuous stock on hand.

Purists love to knock and mock Mr. Beer...but they should take their own advice; relax and have a homebrew.

Great Gift Idea July 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this for my boyfriend as a father's day gift, and he LOVED it. The only problem I see with it, it doesn't have bottles in this package. Bottles are necessary for the last step in fermentation. But you don't actually need to buy the bottles, you could always save some pop bottles instead. I ended up ordering the glass bottles from the MR Beer website.

I would also say that the easy steps are pretty easy, but there are a lot of things to do in those steps...anyways. Its a great product and a fun one too. A great gift for any beer lover.
