1.You will need someplace to store the beer after it is complete. You can re-use pop cap beer bottles. The easiest way to remove the old labels is to let the bottles soak in water with baking soda. You can purchase Grolsch style bottles online that already are equipped with a reusable capping system. If you re-use your beer bottles then you will need to purchase a capper and some bottle caps.
2. A large pot will be needed to boil the wort. It will need one large enough for at least a gallon. You will want to have something larger as it helps with boilovers. Don't listen to the directions. Start off with slightly more than a gallon of water. Some of the wort will evaporate and you will be left with not enough beer to ferment in the end. You can add water, but it is best if you don't have to add anything that may contaminate the beer.
Recommended equipment.
1. Something to strain with. You should use a fine strainer that can be place in the funnel or purchase a funnel with a built in screen to remove the larger solids left in the beer making process.
2. If you want to know how much alcohol your beer has then purchase a hydrometer. You will need to take a original gravity reading when the beer has cooled down and your ready to put it into the carboy. You will need to take another reading of the final gravity when the beer is finished. Make sure you make adjustments for temperature.
2. An autosiphon is extremely helpful for bottling and for removing the fermented beer to mix with the sugar for priming. It can also be used to take beer samples later when checking gravity readings.
Helpful, but not needed.
1. A drying rack for the beer bottles after they have been sanitized. I prefer the racks that do not make contact with the inside of the bottles.
2. A carboy stand is also helpful if would like to dry the carboy/jug upside down.
3. The carboy/jug will be filthy when you are done. Purchase a brush of some sort that will fit inside the opening of the carboy and is long enough to reach if you plan on making beer again.
Making the beer.
Add at least 1.25 gallons to your pot. Bring the beer to the required temperature to steep the bag grains. Keep the temperature constant as the temperature is important in this step. After the grains have been steeped remove the bag. Do not squeeze it. Hold it over the pot to let it drain out.
Bring the wort to a boil. Take it off the heat and mix in the dry malt extract. Bring it back to a full boil. Add some of the hops. Giving a full boil gets rid of everything you don't want in the beer. Dont boil the wort with a covered pot. Before the end if the boil time add the rest of the hops.
Turn off the heat and put a cover on the pot. Cool the wort down using a wort chiller/plate or put the pot in a ice bath in your sink. Make sure you get the temperature below 75 degrees.
Pour the beer through a strainer/screen into the carboy using a funnel. Add the yeast into the carboy. Put your clean hand over the end and shake it for a minute. Make sure the opening is free of debri and insert the bung with the tubing inserted. Place the carboy in a dark place that has a constant temperature around 70 degrees. Place the other end of the tubing in a glass of water. Make sure the tube is secure and will not come out of the cup of water.
Let the beer ferment for 2 weeks or until the final gravity doesn't change for consecutive readings. Use the autosiphon or racking cane to mix the beer with your priming sugar. Use the same equipment to fill the beer bottles.
Let the beer sit/condition in a dark place for 3 weeks to let the flavors mellow/blend/come out. The beer will carbonate naturally from the sugar priming in less than a week.

First off, the equipment in this kit appears to be the same set of items that you get in other similar priced kits from other companies. The difference between the similar beer kit companies with this type of kit seems to be in the included recipe ingredients, and then branding & packaging. I picked this particular kit from Craft A Brew because they were one of the only ones I found that offered a hefeweizen mix.
This kit gives you most of what you need, but it does leave some gaps.
What you get:
-1 Gallon carboy
- Racking cane (not auto-siphon)
- Air lock & stopper
- Thermometer
- Tubing
- Tube clamp
- Funnel
- Recipe kit with sanitizer packet
What you still need:
- large pot (recommend 6 quarts or more)
- bottles (can save up used glass bottles - pry off only)
- Bottle caps
- Bottle capper
- Bottle filler (not required, but is much easier)
- Hydrometer & test tube (Optional, but needed if you want to check your specific gravity and alcohol content)
The Brewing Experience:
I followed the directions for the kit, and made it threw the brewing process without issue. This is an extract kit, so the process isn't as long or involved as all grain brewing. The only issue I ran into was I only ended up with about 1/2 to 2/3 of a gallon when I saw done boiling. The instructions said to top off the carboy to the 1 gallon level of you are short, so that is what I did. However, I am removing one star because of it. I'm assuming they have you start out with 1 gallon of water assuming most people might not have a big enough pot to boil larger quantities, but with the importance of sanitation when brewing, I don't like the idea of having to top off the level before fermenting.
Final thoughts:
Overall, I like this kit. The packaging is good, the instructions are good. You have pretty much everything you need to create the brew and start fermentation. I knew the gaps going in, and ordered the additional items at the time of ordering my kit. If you like extract brewing, then this kit works well enough.
Pros:
- Gets you the essentials to get started
- Recipe mix included
- Good instructions that are easy to follow
Cons:
- Doesn't get you everything you need (bottling equipment being most critical)
- Following instructions led to a batch significantly less than 1 gallon (forced to top off in carboy)

Pros: The end result was amazing. I’ve drank many different types of beers as I enjoy the ability to be able to identify the notes of flavors for each type I’ve had. Fav of all is stout. And this Irish stout kit was the best beer I’ve drank to date. And not because I brewed it. But because if you have never had FRESH beer, you should deff give this kit or any of the other kits a try. I recently ordered Octoberfest kit (ingredients only) and can’t wait to try it.
Cons: I wish that the kits were easier to use. I bought flip top brown 16oz bottles for bottling. The process from boiling pot to carboy was and can be a mess. I used the cheese cloth to strain the remaining hops out after the mash cooled. The process from carboy to bottling was also a pain. I’m no pro, that being said I looked at other fermenting kits in hopes I would not have to deal with the hose and siphon method. You do have to take care in not allowing the yeast to be sucked up by the hose when bottling, 1 inch above the sediment seemed to be fine but after the end of it all each bottle did in fact have small traces of yeast at the bottom ( which was no big deal to me)
Over All: highly recommend this. It’s great way to ease into brewing. Like I said, I’ve never had a fresher tasting beer to date. And I liked it so much I got another ingredients kit as you can continue to use the supplies that came in this home brew kit.
Thanks go out to craft a brew. You guys nailed it.
Would have been a 5 star, but the process got messy and there is prolly a better method, but not on a 1 gallon kit like this.
