Does this kit include an auto siphon or something to transfer the beer into bottles?

There is a siphon tube but it is not auto siphon. You have to get it started with water.

As for siphoning, it comes with racking cane and tubing. For bottling it uses a spring loaded filler tube. I bought this kit is November and have made approx. 50 gallons of ale with no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend.

I do not believe there is any cheaper way to bottle than trying to recycle used brown (light protection!) beer glass bottles (you could reuse them indefinitely if you do not give them away proudly). This kit would need about 8-10 bottles. You still need to buy the caps and the capper, but they are not so expensive. Other options: The Growlers sell swing-top silicone gasket lid bottles in various sizes (so then there is no need for capper and caps). This makes everything easier, but every time you open it, you lose carbonation. There is also a "Party Pig" system, although it is for more than two gallons and costs around $40. Good luck!

No! Everything you need is in this kit and it is of decent quality.The only thing that we upgraded on was the purchase of a self standing corker.All you need is the wine mix!Hope this helps in your decision!

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.

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

I purchased a pack of 4 bottles in addition to this kit and could not for the life of me (because it's been over a year) remember if this kit came with bottles but it appears others have answered this question as well and have all said yes, it comes with everything shown in the picture. :-)

Yes it does. I recommend buying a 2nd carbonator though as there is no warning when it runs out. That way you can switch to the new one and finish the drink you're making, and take your empty in to a local vendor for exchange.

it has everything you need. primary and secondary fermenter, bottling bucket, hydrometer, thermometer, some cleaning supplies. no bottles or ingredients. some people like to make smaller batches of wine this is for 5 gallons

There are some other things -- not included in this kit, nor in any wine making kit I have seen that are needed to make wine with this set up : a stirring spoon for the carboy, a cylinder for taking specific gravity readings (I use the plastic tube that the hydrometer is in, but it is hardly ideal), and the wine kit you use will list other things, such as a 2 liter container and also things like a measuring cup. They usually have all the chemicals and yeast in the wine kit.

No it does not. Depending on where you live, you can buy the ingredients from a local home brew shop. If you don't know of any around you, take a look at www.morebeer.com. Their prices are pretty competitive if you can go to the store and purchase stuff, rather than having to pay the $8+ in shipping.

There is nothing in the bottle. This allows you to fill it with any brand of beer you prefer.

not with the kit. however, there are 1000,s on line to get you going, they are very easy to find. this kit is wonderful for a beginner. ive just gone nuts making all kinds of wine with this. I do recommend buying a cheap kit on amazon or elsewhere for your first batch. that will get you on your feet and let you experience some of the steps in the process with good guidance through the instruction manual in the wine kit.I hope this helps.

This kit comes with a can of beer mix, 8 bottles (quarts), and a fermenter keg. Also comes with instructions that are easy but must be followed. There are other kits out there with no bottles which you need so pick this one. This kit is okay but buying refills has become way more expensive since a different company bought them out (Coopers).

Off the top of my head, there are a few things that are likely duplicated. The primary fermentation bucket and the airlocks, and possibly one of the hoses. With that, I think this is an excellent kit. The glass carboy and corker would not be in the beer kit, plus this kit has a few nice extras like a spring loaded bottler. It is nice to have this kit altogether so you know you have everything you need.

Yes, this kit contains many of the items you need for hard cider, such as the fermenter, bottling bucket, hoses, bottle capper, airlocks, etc. Anything specific to hard cider that is not used in beer (like an apple crusher, if you're crushing your own apples) is obviously not included.
