First Beer Batch

Review by THIERRY P. on 1/5/2008

Pros: First beer of batch ever made, and absolutely loving it. Follow the instruction just like an IKEA Kit (except you have all the parts and the notice make sense). Don't worry on the yeast pack, you really need to push on it hard to pop (it's a bag within a bag).

Cons: IBUs only 28, I would add a bit more hops for a slightly stronger bitter taste (but that's a personal preference). Otherwise none.

Excellent Wheat...

Review by Catherine F. on 1/5/2008

Pros: Great carbonation, mild flavor, easy to brew.. Greatly exceeded our expectations for our first batch. The beer made from this kit is superior to several microbrews in our area.

Cons: Not really a con, but we had two nutrient packs in our yeast pouch when we opened it. It was Sunday when we brewed, and we couldn't call William's, so we made an executive decision to add the extra nutrients to the wort. Was a bit worrisome, but caused no problems at all.

great Wheat beer taste

Pros: Excellent beer for the first time brewer. Great beer for the beginner. My 1st time was awsome!

Cons: none

Great KIt!

Review by Jason J. on 9/14/2007

Pros: It does not get easier than this kit. The strength of a kit like this is that the proper ingredients are gathered for you. The yeast produced all of the expected wheat beer ester flavors. Great for a beginner or any lover of wheat brews.

Cons: The individual components are labeled with codes only - not names, so I have no idea what kind of hops or malt are in the bag without doing a little hunting on the website.

Good stuff!

Pros: This was my first try at home brewing. I came out great. I gave some to people at work and they loved it. Will do this one again.
