This is a LOW COMMITMENT method of brewing that you can brew INDOORS on your STOVE TOP! No mashing or fancy tools required! This is meant to REPLACE any of the tin can or Mr. Beer methods of brewing you might be getting sold on. BE SMART! Do NOT waste money on these kits! Here we show you how to decipher a recipe, and what you can replace in the recipe. Do NOT get sold on pre-packaged kits that will turn out poor beer! Do NOT get sold on promises of ‘beer in 6 days!’ Do NOT listen to the guy who’s been brewing for 40 years and ‘never had a problem’ and ‘it tastes great!’. Do NOT get sold on people trying to ’sell’ you things or have ultimate motives. And what ever you do, do NOT buy any Cooper’s beer brewing products regardless of who you see online advertising for them. It is money down the drain. Take it from someone who got suckered in himself.
Brewers Best: Oktoberfest home brewing kit final product review C- A: 4.5/5 I really like the way this looks. The color turned out exactly as I had hoped. Amber body with red and yellow edges, white fluffy yeasty head. Little CO2 nucleation. S: 1/5 It doesn’t really smell like beer, and doesn’t smell good at all. Fruit + Yeast + Alcohol – malts – hops. T: 2/5 Light hop character, dominated by fruity esters and alcohol. Malts are basically indistinguishable. Easy to drink, but no real strong notes. M: 3/5 Light bodied, crisp, nothing special.

I prefer corn sugar to cane sugar because I think that cain sugar sweetens the beer to much.
I have discovered a product that will take the sediment out of your bottled home brew beer and leave you with a clear, carbonated, sediment free beer that you can drink right out of the bottle.
