What home beer brewing kits are available? What do they include, and how much do they cost? Let’s find out.
Starter Kit
A beginner’s home beer brewing kit includes all the basic items you need to brew two full gallons of home-brewed beer.
You’ll get a brew keg made of lightweight, shatter-resistant food grade polyvinyl chloride. The keg includes a lid and tap assembly set.
You’ll also get a set of 12 reusable plastic bottle caps. Many home brewers bottle their beer in reusable PET plastic carbonated soft drink bottles. The bottle caps in your home beer brewing kit fit the universal opening on carbonated soft drink bottles. If you prefer, you can buy fresh plastic bottles for your home-brewed beer.
Finally, you’ll get a "brew pack" that contains all the yeast, beer mix, and sanitizer you’ll need to make two gallons of beer. You’ll also receive a complete set of instructions on how to brew your own beer. A starter home beer brewing kit retails for about $40.
Premium Kit
A premium home beer brewing kit includes everything in the starter kit, plus eight one-liter bottles with caps, eight beer bottle labels, and a brewer’s guide. The bottles are reusable; most home brewers find that eight bottles at a time is the perfect number of bottles for two beer drinkers.
Self-adhesive labels give your home-brewed beer an authentic look. Brew pack refills are readily available, so you can keep making beer indefinitely, two gallons at a time.
The brewer’s guide in the premium kit is a must-have resource for the home brewer. Keep the guide handy; it’s a valuable reference you’ll look to for years. The premium home beer brewing kit retails for about $50.
