Craft a Brew - Beer Recipe Kit - Chocolate Milk Stout - Home Brewing Ingredient Refill - Beer Making Supplies - Includes Hops, Yeast, Malts, Extracts - 5 Gallons

After a decade off from home brewing, I found myself volunteering to brew a batch for a company party. The Craft a Brew Milk Chocolate Stout was a big hit! I received many sincere complements, including “this is the best stout I’ve ever tasted”! The all inclusive kit had all necessary ingredients and excellent type written instructions that were well written and easy to follow. This kit is a super value for the price that produces a top shelf premium beer. Will buy again. Thank you Craft a Brew!-Jason

These are awesome kits with quality ingredients. This is my second time brewing the Orange Golden Beer. Everyone loved this beer!

Easy kit to make. I used to get my beer kits from a local brewing store, but moved out of town. Thought I would try one of these kits. Probably the best tasting beer I have ever made. Will be getting more.

I have been getting started with homebrewing and purchased kits from a wide array of different kit manufacturers for similar styles and compared them. The craftabrew option is a good kit, it came with everything it should have had in pack (the first major step a surprisingly large number of companies get wrong), the ingredients seem to be high quality, and the brew I believe turned out well (though it is still aging on the nibs and not fully finished yet).The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that the instructions aren't as clear as they could be for beginners, or watch outs aren't listed on their instructions. I had made a few kits before, and if you have as well, this product should work great for you. But if you haven't, a few examples of what I am talking about:The kit comes with two 1oz hop packets, one for bittering and one for late bittering. The recipe lists to only use 1/2 oz of the late bittering hops, and claims that the contents of the kit are a 1 and 0.5oz hop packet, when in fact mine came with two 1oz hop packets. I caught it and discarded the extra as I assume I was intended to do, but it was unclear. Furthermore, the instructions indicate that a brew kettle with 3.5 gallon capacity, since that is the volume that will be in the kettle at any given time using a partial boil method (which this recipe is). While I was cooking this, though, the malt boiled/foamed up to nearly double in volume before calming back down. My pot could handle this but if I were using the minimum sized pot I would have had a big mess.Finally, as a brewer who is trying to learn and understand ratios, this was the ONLY kit of all 5 companies I looked at that did not break out the quantities of all specialty grains provided. Instead a blend was provided of a few grains and the levels of each were not listed. I understand the company's desire to product their recipe, and I am not trying to copy it, but for the sake of learning and especially compared to their competitive set it is a disappointment.Overall though, brew day went well and so will the beer I am sure. Just a few caveats to be aware of. No kit company is perfect, this one is mostly good but could do with a rewrite on their instructions to be perfect.

Very good product and very easy directions to follow

Ideally, the kit comes with everything you need to brew an excellent Belgian dubbel ale. I know the ale is good because this instance is my second brewing of this kit.However, this time I received an incomplete kit. The box arrived open and someone had pilfered the two hops packets. I contacted the vendor and they shipped me replacement packets but the experience set me back a week.Otherwise, all went well. I will advise that the wort to this ale tends to foam considerably during the boil so have your boilover gear ready. I boil outdoors but I give fair warning to those who boil indoors and want to avoid a mess.

Easy to make great beerAll information and product in the boxExcellent

I am a newer brewer and this was easy to use and has produced impressive results. It's at the quality of local microbrews and better than standard fair. I contacted the seller on one batch and the seller was super helpful. The flavor of this is excellent. It's somewhat sweet and heavy with smooth carbonation. Is a very balanced brew that is great on a cold night.
