Hi, After using the first batch ingredients the kit provided, do I have to purchase a new ingredient package from Brooklyn Brew or can I buy my own h

The kit is designed for 1-gallon batches so you can use the included equipment with any 1-gallon recipe/kit. Lots of recipes and kits are available online and you can even reuse the yeast from your previous batch if you're careful to be sanitary in your brewing/fermenting/bottling process. Online homebrew forums are a wealth of knowledge.

You can purchase any one gallon refill kit. There are a lot of good kits available. I was surprised how many companies make a one gallon kit, Brooklyn Brew just has is marketed the best. Good luck.

You can go to a local home brew store for grains, hops, and yeast for 1/2 the price!

Either way. The Brooklyn packages are convenient because they are sized for 1 gallon; no thinking involved. Or you can scale any recipe down, but be sure to not over-pitch yeast. Or you can move on to larger batches and larger equipment, which seems to be the common path after catching the brew bug.

Youll get 8 1pint bottles out of each batch. Warning: dont dtink the beer as soon as its done. Let it sit for a couple weeks on the bottles first. The taste gets better. Also the beer that comes with it is not so great. Try other formulas. This kit is great to start learning the basics of home brewing.

This is a hme or hopped malt extract used in conjunction with the mr. Beer home brewing system. It is meant to replace the beer that comes with your kit once you have Brewed the hme that comes with the kit. You don't need to use the Mr. Beer kit however is only meant to yield 2.14 gallons

Yes, you do need to buy a sanitizer. Sanitizer doesn't come with this kit and it's never been included in any other kit I've bought. This beer is really good!

Aimee, You can make a brew from start to finish. In fact, you make 2 with this kit. However, I would gather $10 or so and get a hydrometer to measure specific gravity before and after fermentation to verify alcohol content and if fermentation is complete. You don't have to because this kit includes "Hopped Extract" which means that you don't need to add any Hops to your brew, they did it for you. It is completely ready to go and the results should be the same every time you make a batch. They take all the science out of the process by pre-hopping the extract. Last note: My friends love the Aztec and Bohemian extracts that came with my kit. I have now moved onto All-Grain brewing with the occasional non-hopped extract brew. Good book to read is "How to brew" by Palmer. Hope that helps!

No, it is not a complete kit for the entire process. This is just the ingredients for a batch of beer. This does not include the pot, the bottles, the fermentation container, etc. However, if they are already brewing they should already have those items and the bottles are reusable (as long as they are pop tops, not twist offs).

no, this is considered an "ingredient kit", but not a full brewing kit. There are several places you can get those, but I chose a deluxe kit from The American Home Brewer. Got good support from them and they were pretty reasonably priced.I purchased this particular ingredient kit along with some others to give my husband a variety and see which ones he liked best. He hasn't made them all, so I don't have a "winner", but he has enjoyed them all so far.

You have to have the Lavzza coffee brewer which is very expensive. I wasted my money buying these. All I got from my one cup brewer was light brown just like you. I wish they would state that and prevent us from wasting our money.

No. You can use your own; however, buying the packages comes in handy because you just snip the top and pour. If you have a Smart and Final near you, they sale the packages in a case and they have a one year shelf life.

No start up ingredients. You'll need malt extract, malted barley (or a grain blend particular to your recipe) hops and yeast. You'll also need a mesh bag to boil your grains in and a 20 quart stock pot.

You might try a brewing supply store. I know the distributor we use for this product does not offer that as an option for purchase. Bill Wright Treyco

No it does not. Depending on where you live, you can buy the ingredients from a local home brew shop. If you don't know of any around you, take a look at www.morebeer.com. Their prices are pretty competitive if you can go to the store and purchase stuff, rather than having to pay the $8+ in shipping.

This is NOT the complete beer making kit. It's only a recipe mix packet with ingredients - grain / yeast / hops used to make another 1 gallon batch after you've bought the kit. The actual full beer making kit includes most of the items you would need to make this recipe. Even if you buy a full kit, you would still need a 2 gallon pot (or 3 gallon would work if you have one) Having 2 pots of that approximate size will make the process much easier. You'll need a double-mesh strainer, a funnel (both approximately 8" diameter). maple syrup, and the instructions. You can download the instructions from Brooklyn Brewshop's website to get a better idea of the process. Hope this helps. This is NOT the complete beer making kit.
