With this kit, do I need anything else to start pouring beer (other than the keg of beer and gas in the tank)?

Other than some drill bits you need nothing else. I was able to install the kit in approx 15 mins. Just make sure your leg is in your fridge 24 to 48 hours before you start pouring.

Yes/No this kit comes with everything to make the beer if you already have at least a 25qt brewing pot and a large spoon. The kit has everything else but those 2 items. I bought this kit to get started. I also bought a 25qt pot and large spoon. The kit will make almost 5 gallons of beer. I ended up with 50 bottles of beer. Luckily I had some bottles saved up for extras. The beer turns out great.

There is not Keg. It does come with 4 bottles in which you put the root beer. I used a big bowel to mix everything in. Then pored it into the provided bottles. This kit has everything you need other than the water and sugar.

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.

The kettle and bottles (and bottle caps) would be the only required items. I'd suggest 7gal. I actually bought a turkey fryer kit that comes with the kettle and burner for about $50. Works very well. Bottle wise, since it takes about 4 weeks until you're ready to bottle, start downing them now. You'll have to buy less. Suggestions would be a large spoon and a nice digital thermostat. Quick suggestion, pick up a sanitizer like Iodophor. Mix some into a spray bottle to sanitize everything.

everything but bottles are in the kit this makes it so easy because you don't need to buy anything but bottles. chemicals, lables,over caps and instructions are all included you do need you own equipment for brewing I save all my own bottles and have friends save them for me

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

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.

I bought an extra carboy, a bottle tree and a filter, but those are optional. I have no problem with the corker that comes with this kit. It works fine for the 2-3 kits a year that I do. I am a female and have no problem corking.

There is nothing to 'set up', it is a matter of following instructions. This kit provides you with MOST of the TOOLS to brew and bottle a 5-6 gallon batch of home brew. You will also need to buy a 'recipe kit' that contains the ingredients (malt, grain, hops, etc) for the beer, a brew pot (30 to 32 quart) to boil your wort, bottles (60 12 oz) and bottle caps (144). I would also suggest buying a long handled stainless steel spoon for stirring the wort in the brew pot. If you have never brewed your own beer before, you should look up some recipes and tips for first time brewers, there is lots of info on the web. Everything begins with a recipe, set aside several hours, gather all of the ingredients, read the recipe instructions and start brewing. While brewing your first batch make sure you get some of your favorite beer so you can sip while you brew, after you have brewed a batch or two, you will likely be sipping your own brew as you are brewing your next batch. Remember 3 things, keep everything clean (sterile), read and follow all the instructions, and most of all have fun. I will be happy to answer any other questions and help you brew your own beer.

There's enough sanitizer for one batch. Pick star-San, iodophor, others a re out there. I like the grolsch style bottles. This kit reliably fills 30 - 32 1/2 liters. Pay brew pot. At least 6 gallons. 8 is better, stainless steel with lid. And then, something to brew. Many extract recipe kits available. Get an ale. Lager requires temperature control and a fridge. So kit, sanitizer, bottles, pot, recipe.

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.

This is not an "all in one" kit. There are several other things you will need, and a couple things that will make things easier for you. This kit contains: instructions, grape juice, bentonite, stabilizer, clarifier, corks, labels. This basically consists of all the ingredients. You will also need a fermenter (could be a carboy or 6gal bucket style), airlock, sanitizer, hydrometer, siphon, bottles, and corker. You will have to transfer the 6 gallons between containers several times, so a second 6gal bucket or carboy is needed. At some point you're going to want to bottle it, which will require about 30 x 750ml bottles and a corker. Unless you want to just put a straw in it... All the additional supplies will likely run you a bit of additional money, but they're all reusable. Once you have them you just buy the wine kits to make another batch. So, the kit is just the ingredients and none of the hardware.

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

The only thing needed is hot water...regular pots are the only thing you need. The kits have everything to get you started! Very user friendly! Happy brewing!

this "kit" is basically just a 6 gallon fermenting bucket some bottles and a premeasured "no boil" malt extract that you mix with 6 gallons of water to make a predetermined amount of beer....6 gallons. you would need other equipment to ferment only 2 gallons...you will find that as long as it takes to complete....the more the better(I guess you could only bottle 2 of the 6 gallons ....but why waste the other 4)
