Northern Brewer – Brew. Share. Enjoy. HomeBrewing Starter Set With Chinook IPA Beer Brewing Recipe Kit And Stainless Steel Brew Kettle – Equipment For Making 5 Gallons Of Homemade Beer

This is a great basic starter home brewing kit. I brewed the Block Party Amber Ale that came with the kit and it surpassed my expectations… delicious! A couple of notes: buy some extra sanitizer because the kit only comes with enough to make 1 gallon. I was expecting the fermentation to bubble co2 from the airlock. After a week I did not think it was fermenting as there was no bubbling so I added another pitch of yeast that I bought from a local brew shop. What I now realize is the bucket will allow gas to release around the edges as it is not sealed air tight locked with a gasket hence the lack of bubbling activity. Also, don’t bother opening your bottled beer after just one week. Give it at least 2 weeks to bottle condition even though it is hard to wait. The finished product is great and may even improve some in the coming weeks if it lasts that long. I bottled close to 50 (12 ounce) bottles. Enjoy!

Amazing home brewing kit! Northern Brewer has clear instructions but I found it helpful to watch their YouTube video. We’re about bottle our third beer using this kit and all our beers have turned out great

This is pretty cool I’m on my second batch. The first batch is bottled but I confess that I got into it a week earlier than I’m really supposed to. The beer isn’t ready but I can tell it’s gonna be great. Nice flavor and carbonated plus three quarts gave me a heck of a buzz. The kit itself has what you need to get started. I had no problems at all. I suggested getting a 5 gallon lid opener at the hardware store. Mine was only a few bucks and it really saves your fingers plus you won’t damage the lid.
