What equipment do you need to brew?

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.

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!

Yes - everything you need is included (but the tea) to make great ice tea. I use two family tea bags in the basket. When it is finished brewing just rinse everything and you are ready for the next brewing.

No everything you need is in the box. However if you wish to use your special coffee you will need to buy a filter basket that allows you to use your own favorite coffee grinds. I highly recommend this coffee maker.

I am sorry, but this was a gift to my grandson and I was not present when he brewed. However, they did not need any additional items. He also raved about the root beer as really good and not at all like the commercial stuff - much better.

You COULD, however you need all the necessary larger mashing/boil/chill/fermenting equipment. Also, you're better off buying BBS's book, as they have the 5 gal recipes of the kits they sell plus others. I would also recommend buying all your grains/hops and fresh yeast from a local brew shop or Northern Brewer. These small 1 gal kits are.good for a beginner, but you'll find cost for buying supplies and effort for making 5-10 gals drives your cost per gallon down considerably.

Yes you need a crown cap tool. If you have not purchased an equipment kit you should. It will have the tools you need to ferment and bottle the beer. You'll probably need some sanitizer too.Enjoy !

It doesn't come with the ingredients. And this only part of what you need to fully brew. Along with the kit, you need a 3-5 gallon brew kettle and a couple more small items. Make sure the person you are buying this for is committed to brewing, it can be a big project, but it is fun and rewarding and they'll love their own brew.

Don't know what you have, Nicole. Assuming you are starting from scratch you will need the "wine making hardware" which can be purchased from Amazon or at your local Wine/Beer making hobby shop. That includes 1 six gallon carboy (really need two), a hydrometer, floating thermometer, stirring paddle, six gallon fermenting bucket, corking tool, wine "trap" to perform hydrometer readings, air lock (preferably 2), 6' of clear tubing. In addition to these basics I'd recommend an auto syphon. Once completed you will need bottles which can be purchased or have someone you know at a pub to save their wine bottles for you....remove labels (recommend removing with hot water, then run cold water over the glued area and remove hardened glue with a single edge razor blade. Rinse in super hot water then sanitize before filling. This kit will make 30 bottles (750ml) or 15 of the 1.5 liter. I like to fill some of both.

I don't see why not but if you just brew your first one, then you have another to work with. Have fun.

No special equipment needed. Just brew some hot water to seep the tea pyramids (bags) into your favorite mug or tea set.

There is no brewing cycle. Everything is done manually. I suggest you go up on utube and see how an espresso machine works. If you want an automatic machine be prepared to spend much more and buy a Jura

You can use any cup provided it isn't taller than the space between the base and the brew basket. The coffee just drips out of the brew basket like any normal drip coffee machine.
