  • The kit is missing the packet with priming sugar.
The kit is missing the packet with priming sugar. Unfortunately I did open the box more than a month after the delivery and just noticed the discrepancy. This is probably the 4th time I am brewing with this kit and I love the quality. Haven't had missing ingredients before. I would give it 5 star overall because the quality is great if it was not for the missing ingredient. Now I have to make an order for a packet of priming sugar. It adds extra $5. This is not a lot but missing small stuff like that is annoying. ... show more

  • Received missing ingredients.
Contacted Brewers Best and received the missing ingredients. I shorted the water in the recipe by 2 gallons which led to a long condition time of about a month. I added in apricot preserves and it came out wonderfully tasty and creamy. Maybe a bit too tasty.

  • If you dont care for lagers but your friends who want to try your brew do.
Most people ive shared this with have said it tasted like "beer". Its similar to a lager but with a little more complexity. I dont care for most lagers(ipa/stout enthusiast) but really like this, it's one of the few i can share and enjoy with those who only like american lights. and the cost is excellent too. ... show more

  • Great Ale, Even For Advanced Brewers
This cream ale came out brilliantly for me, and all supplies came in great shape with good expiration dates. If you are interested in getting into homebrewing, this is probably THE EASIEST kit I have used, with probably one of the best results, even compared to more complex brews I've done. Even if you've been brewing for a long time, this is definitely one to check out because of its ease of use. Heck, want to make it more complex? Consider using fruit, or even coffee, vanilla, lactose - it's such a great base for whatever you want to add. Some thoughts on the beer itself: it was exceptionally smooth with faint floral hoppiness, but admittedly lacked some depth. For a beer so easy to brew, that was a trade off I thought was worth it. It also pairs well with just about any food. My favorite pairing? Korean Fried Chicken! An extra tip: I wanted to up the ABV and had extra 5 oz Priming Sugar (aka corn sugar/dextrose) packets lying around, and added an additional 10 oz at 40 mins into the boil with the other corn sugar provided. That got me to 5.8-5.9% by the end of the brew. Don't be afraid to experiment with it! Best of luck! ... show more

  • Make sure you have a graduated cylinder!!
This was my first kit and was surprised by how easy it was! I pasteurized the bottles just yesterday, and its a great tasting, high ABV beer! Added some orange zest and lavender extract for flavor, and it tastes great. Very impressed. I did not have a graduated cylinder, so I had to get creative with my siphon and hydrometer to get a reading, but this kit made me feel like I could become a homebrewer full time. And it was a lot of fun. Surprised at how quickly 5 gallons will go, but that probably says more about my drinking habits than the amount of yield. Along with the cylinder, I found it easier to have another bucket full of sanitizer to store everything in while I was working, and also wish that I would have put the hops in a steeping bag to reduce sentiment, but overall, very fun and delicious ... show more

  • Amazing value and good flavour.
Since the beer making store closed last month, I am now relegated to buying my beer making supplies on line. I found a few different sites and chose this particular brand and flavour. First, the value can not be beat. It comes with all you need to make the beer, including bottling caps. Second, it's crazy easy to make because it's a full extract recipe, no grains to cook up. Third, it has a nice flavour which will be exceptional, for me, to drink during the summer months. I usually go for the dark beers, but not when it's summer time. A cream ale is about as light of a beer as I drink, beside a good German lager. Yes, I would buy this again. Happy brewing!! :) ... show more

  • Tasty and easy to brew
Wasn't sure about this type of beer because of the title.. (Cream Ale?!) but took a gamble and won. Good flavor, like a light hefeweizen almost. Will order again. My one complaint: the kit that I ordered did NOT come with bottle caps. I am trying to resolve this now.
