Does this kit include everything needed to brew, and if not, what else do I need to purchase with it? It would be a gift. Thanks!

Technically, you could manage with this kit but you may want to get a large mesh strainer (or a muslin bag) for when it is time to drain the grains. You might also want a funnel for when you transfer the brew at different stages. Lastly, it does not come with anything for bottling. I had to buy caps and a capper but was able to reuse bottles.

Hello, I wouldn't recommend purchasing it online from Amazon. I purchased this a year ago, and the kit was incomplete. It was missing basic items like a stopper, and it seemed a little random what items was missing. If you could find the kit in a store or order it from the company's website, that might be more reliable.

You need something to put beer in once it's made, ex. empty bottles, caps, bottle capper.

No cooking ingredients are involved. The kit comes with Hopped Malt Extract (HME). Just bring to slow boil and add to fermenter. You can do your own mash if you want. Just adjust recipe for 2g. Otherwise you'd need larger equipment.

This kit is ingredients only with corks. You need a starter kit that has all the hardware like primary fermentation bucket Carboy hydrometer siphoning hose corking tool. Etc. they sell those fore about $100

the sanitation packet should be included in the kit. You have everything you should need to make the brew. Try adding fruit in a hops sack to change up the flavor raspberries make an excellent addition.

You don't need to purchase anything in addition to this kit. Any extras (more beer mixes, extra bottles, fancier bottles) are just bonus. The plastic screw on caps do come with for the bottles

Hi there, I have the same problem, and I just ordered one of those. since you posted this in november, did you get lucky with it? by the way, how do you intend to brew your beer? I've just started, but I'm brewing with malt extract, and I don't need to boil 5 gallons at once. I can make the wort with 1.5 gallons and add to pre boiled water.Thank you.

yes, comes with everything you need including yeast, corks, labels, etc. I've used several of these kits and they're top notch.

Do you mean the portafilter and brew basket? If so, yes, it comes with a portafilter and several different brew baskets.

Youll get 8 1pint bottles out of each batch. Warning: dont dtink the beer as soon as its done. Let it sit for a couple weeks on the bottles first. The taste gets better. Also the beer that comes with it is not so great. Try other formulas. This kit is great to start learning the basics of home brewing.

It is an extract brew. It does have some grains for steeping and woodchips for adding to the primary. You will want to get Irish Moss. Decent kit. Very drinkable beer even without the clearing agent.

The list is quite extensive, depending on your question. Everything needed to use the kit is included, but fermenter buckets, stabilizer jugs, stirrer and a few other assorted items. You need to look into it further, it is somewhat costly for start up, but well worth it if you use a goodly amount of wine. "Orchard Breezin" is the kit of my choice, Vino Italiano is lots more difficult to use.

You can look at this 8 gallon beer brewing kettle as a "kit". In your "kit" you get; 1 Stainless steel kettle with 2 pre-drilled holes, 1 weldless thermometer assembly, and 1 weldless stainless steel ball valve assembly. When my kettle "kit" arrived the ball valve and thermometer were already installed. I highly recommend if your "kit" comes with the valve and thermometer installed, that you uninstall and re-install the valve and thermometer to get a proper fit.

Mine came with 2 in the box. NO instructions... My main problem is that it says it's for the BrewStation machines, but apparently not mine. I didn't see any model #'s listed (at least when I ordered mine, so I assumed they would work. Guess not. I also ordered some coffee pot cleaned. 6 pack. Works great.

Hi Michael, we used the Maestro Home Brewmaking Kit. Just make sure to sanitize the bucket really well before adding the mixture.

Aimee, You can make a brew from start to finish. In fact, you make 2 with this kit. However, I would gather $10 or so and get a hydrometer to measure specific gravity before and after fermentation to verify alcohol content and if fermentation is complete. You don't have to because this kit includes "Hopped Extract" which means that you don't need to add any Hops to your brew, they did it for you. It is completely ready to go and the results should be the same every time you make a batch. They take all the science out of the process by pre-hopping the extract. Last note: My friends love the Aztec and Bohemian extracts that came with my kit. I have now moved onto All-Grain brewing with the occasional non-hopped extract brew. Good book to read is "How to brew" by Palmer. Hope that helps!
