Simply Beer - Small Batch Beer Making Starter Kit (Log Splitter Brown Ale)

This is a very easy brewing kit to follow. Great for beginners. There are also videos out there if you need extra help. However, if you're using bottles any bigger than a regular stubbie, put in 2 sugar tablets. Instructions say 1 but don't mention the size of the bottle. My bottles are about 700mL and one sugar tablet didn't quite produce enough fizz in my opinion. You do get plenty of sugar tablets to use, so there is enough. I recommend filling your bottles and then sharing all the sugar tablets equally among your bottles until they're all used up.

The only downfall I find with this item, is that it comes with a plastic jug, rather than glass, but then I'm sure it would be more expensive! All in all, it was very easy to make, and it is absolutely delicious beer!!

The wide mouth makes it painless to clean, the spigot makes bottling quick and easy. They are clear, like glass, so you can see everything that is going on in there (keep it out of sunlight). Also, the spigot means you can tap a quick taste to check progress without opening up the jar. It is one gallon size, and the kit that comes with it is easy. For me, the 1gal kits are more convenient, 6 or 7 bottles is enough for me for one batch. And no heavy lifting (5gal = 40lbs).

I gave this as a Christmas present and the recipient was excited to have this as an introduction into brewing. The kit included everything needed except the bottles and the instructions appeared to be easy to follow. It shipped quickly and there were several styles of beer to choose from. Very happy with item overall!

Love this!!! It is so easy and delicious.

I did not realise until I received the good that the material of the bottle is made of plastic instead of glass. The description on the product is not clear.

Awesome beer was a gift

Nowhere in the description does it say this is plastic! And then it's not returnable!!! Really? DO NOT BUY!!!Update: I asked the seller for a refund because the description does not say this piece of crap is plastic. Here's the seller's response: "Greetings, The item is not described as glass or plastic in our site copy. I am sorry your interpretation, was that it was glass. we can accept a return, as no error was made, the return shipping would be yours to cover. . . Please ship it the most cost effect way possible. . ."Like I said, do not buy this product!!!!
