American Amber Homebrew Beer Ingredient Kit

I did a quick look at the kit offerings, and calculated about $40 worth of beer making items; good value at $30 on Amazon. I'll re-post later as to the quality and freshness of the kit ingredients; also how it tastes after I brew it. I'ts nice getting a hop bag, and bottle caps as a bonus.This kit took me about 90 minutes in my kitchen after I prepped everything, really easy.Update (3-1-18): The beer turned out well. It was light middle of the road brew, with moderate hops and decent mouth feel. This kit is a good base for making a larger beer; just add more malt and hops. I'm glad I purchased this kit. It was really easy to make; grains were already measured and cracked.

This is a very solid kit for a first timer. I have brewed about 4 or 5 of these and put them on tap in our shop kegerator. Light malty flavor with a bit of bitterness. A bit stronger than other ambers, but not over-powering. Depending on the batch, some have been a bit sweeter than I would have liked, but still very drinkable.

Great tasting Red Ale beer. This kit made some of the best tasting beer thus far. I have shared it with friends and family and they have all commented on its excellent taste. I highly recommend this kit.

Everything is included in the kit for a really good beer and I loved that the instructions included some extra tips for the process. The best part was the taste. A really good amber just as flavorful as any but better because it didn't cost me an arm and a leg and I made it myself.

Well it was bound to happen. Most everything I've ordered from amazon has been just fine. This is too I think, but the yeast package is caked solid and expired by 4 months. Also, the box looks like it's been on the shelf for a while. Bought this as a gift for a visiting relative and not time to return. Ordered fresh (I hope) yeast ($16) and moving on. Just FYI! …...Follow up. Really, Really Good Beer!!!

Pretty good kit. I didn't even know I like Amber. A friend talked me into this, and we've made it 3 times so far. Normally prefer IPAs. Put a teaspoon of vanilla in the keg and it gives it a nice smooth taste.

Don't really know what the beer tasted like, but the ones that came out carbonated were amazing. Unfortunately I ended up screwing the bottling up on about half of these so the carbonation didn't take-- that being said, they were good enough to drink flat. I really enjoyed this crisp and mildly hoppy beer and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to brew a batch of great tasting home brew!

I haven't even let this finish bottle conditioning yet, and it's already great. A perfect balance if your ask me. It's from a bottle, but tastes like draft beer to me. Great kit for the price. I followed the instructions exactly. My only secret was using El Dorado water, which is what a local distillery uses. If they don't filter their water and buy great spring water instead, then I will too.

Seems good so far. I really like the brewers best kits. The only thing I don't like is that the beers seem very dark in color. I assume that's because they use a liquid malt extract. Maybe it will lighten up as it ages? I'll update my review on taste etc when my beer is finished.

I'll update after the beer is bottled, as to the taste and clarity of this amber lager. However, the instructions clearly calls for 2 packets of Willamette hops, added to the boiling wort 1/2 hour apart. My kit came with only one package. I really hope it doesn't negatively impact the finished product, but as it sits now, I'm not thrilled at getting an incomplete kit.
