Does the kit come with a fermentation bucket or bottling bucket? Reviews contradict the product description...

Yep! It comes with everything you need to make beer except the ingredients. It's a great deal!

It comes with a carboy and a bottling bucket. I use the bottling bucket as my primary fermentation bucket.

Mindy, I have never noticed anything floating from any of my kits and I've done quite a few. I don't know if maybe something was in the bag or if something may have fallen into your bucket as you were beginning your primary. If its something of concern that may possibly contaminate the wine, I would recommend contacting amazon for a replacement. I hope this helps. Good luck with your wine!

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!

Yes, you have a problem. There should have been a blivot inside the bucket that held the juice. You should also have bags containing instructions, yeast, stabilizer, fining agent and clearing agent. It usually also comes with 30 corks, 30 foil tops and 30 labels. Call Amazon and complain, they will usually send you another one free.

K6 kit comes with a 6 gallon carboy. The one above is only a five. If you plan on fermenting five gallon batches in your carboy you will need the 6 for the extra head space.

I would not recommend that you make only 1 Gallon at a time using this kit as you only need a new fermentation bucket, that is fairly cheap considering what your planning

Yes, the Kit contained everything I needed. I did however purchase a floor corker (I never tried the one provided though) the kit was a great start. I have since purchased and additional Carboy so I can have two wines going at once.

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.

From what I have read, you will need the kit if the kegs are non-pressurized. Heineken and Newcastle are pressurized, so I have been pretty content.

To brew: At least a 3 gallon pot, big spoon, 6 gallon carboy or brew bucket, airlock. It helps if you have a clean, sterilized siphon hose and large funnel. If you want to test specific gravity purchase gravity tester to show alcohol content. We transfer straight to keg but if not you will need 2 cases of bottles and a bottle capper. We purchased a beginning brewers kit (with carboy) on Amazon when we started.

Yes it does. And it is really easy to do. Just follow the instructions. But you might want to get a 21 inch brewing spoon and a 20 qt brewing pot. Thats if you don't already have them. And keep your bottles that it comes with.

Yes you can purchase fermenters on their own. You would want to order a 6.5 gallon fermenting bucket & a 6.5 gallon bottling bucket with spigot.

Yes and yes. the kit comes with everything u need to other than the co2 tank. the co2 hose and fitting is included and the instructions are good. its pretty straight forward anyway just be SURE you do not drill a hole in the sides where the refrigerant lines are located. Happy drinking !!

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)

I think a bottle filler would work better for you than this (the contraption that has the little metal piece at the end that presses into base of bottle and stops flow when bottle is full). We use this siphon to transfer our home brew batches from fermenting bucket to carboy to bottling bucket, not to bottle the beer.
