| 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 brew keg features a pour tap and wide-mouthed lid for easy cleaning by hand. Included with this microbrewery kit are a can of West Coast Pale Ale mix, which produces a mild, full-bodied beer, a single-use packet of booster, which contains all-natural carbohydrates that enhance flavor and boost alcohol content, and brewer’s yeast. 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 the kit’s eight one-liter PET bottles for another week, during which time natural carbonation takes place. No CO2 cartridges are needed to enhance sparkle or beer head. Plastic bottle caps and labels 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 |

Okay, so this cuts a bunch of corners from traditional beer brewing. That's the appeal! This makes home brewing so easy, that if true home brewers didn't turn their noses up, something would be wrong.
I'm a busy guy with two kids and a self-owned business. There's little time in my life for hobbies. Having a kit like this allows me to brew beer at home with only about 1/2 hour per session committed.
The fun part is that the ingredients are so varied that you can literally mix and match with endless combinations of flavors, bodies, alcohol contents, etc. It's not a true "just add water" system as I've heard suggested. If it were, the fun would be gone. You do have to put together a recipe (many of which are available online to get you started) and go for it.
Beer brewing for the time impaired person with other responsibilities. It's lot's of fun and the beer is darned good too. |
For the microbrew fan

I received Mr. Beer as a gift. I love it. Some of my friends and relatives who drink light domestic beers, aren't fans of my creations. Those who like the richer more flavorful beers, love it! It was really almost too easy. I would have been disappointed by this if not for the ability to add flavor enhancers of my own. And for those of us who like the microbrewed beers, this is much cheaper. It's about 50 cents per 12 ounce bottle.

Yummy!

| I purchased this for my brother-in-law who's something of a beer connoseur and he LOVES it-- the humour had the whole family on the floor and rolling. Reccomended- only if he'll share! Also, I should mention this was shipped beautifully from Target/Amazon- get the gift wrap, it's worth the $! |
great way to get started

| I received my kit a little over a year ago. It is a great way to get into home brewing. I have now moved on to 5 gallon brewing, but am glad I started with this kit. I was able to make all the newbie mistakes on a small scale ( I can drink 2 gallons of so-so beer). I learned a lot with the Mr. Beer kit and managed to brew some really good beer. My last batch with it was a porter that a neighbor called the best beer he ever drank. I still use the bottles and highly reccomend this kit to someone thinking about homebrewing. |
