American Cream Ale Homebrew Beer Ingredient Kit

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!

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!! :)

Very nice brew. It reminds me of a summer shandy type beer. Light, but similar sweetness to a Belgium white. There is an interesting citrus hint to it as well. It would be great for a hot day at a BBQ.The brew instructions were easy to follow. This brew does not have grains to steep so it was a very short brew time.It had a little long fermentation time. Took about a week and a half for finish up. I gave it two weeks total fermentation. I did not do a secondary.

My last name Brewer. Been brewing fifty plus years. Fine easy to make product. I recommend. Good price as well. Good Luck, Brewers

Great seller. I love brewing beer and this brand kit has everything you need. Do not buy a different kit they give you the caps for the bottles and everything else you need

I swapped out the hops for a Polish hop and made some excellent beer. I'm sure this would be good right out of the box, too.

I just started brewing a few months ago and graduated quickly from very basic kits using only pre-hopped LME to these brewers best kits.The kits come with everything needed all pre-packaged. The instructions are clear enough once you have a good grasp on the brewing process. The suggest secondary fermenting, but since I use a conical fermenter, I get a very clear beer without this step.This was the first go with a new fermenter setup so I wanted something cheaper in case it all went wrong! I usually drink IPAs and Porters so always knew this kit was going to produce something with less flavor than I would usually go for. The end result was excellent though and has a little more bitterness than I was expecting. I may make this kit again in the summer when needing something generic on hand for friends.

Ok, the kits seem to get good reviews. The ingredients are all high quality such that next step up is partial mashing or all grain. Instructions are great. This is my 3rd BB kit & the first ipa was ok even though I messed up on volumes (don't brew after dark.) The english brown ale & now the cream ale have a slight sour taste in keg, which could be me, which could be contamination. The bottle English brown was ok. Waiting on the cream ale bottled samples to condition. Been so long since I had either production beer, maybe it tastes like it should. At any rate, next kit will be with partial mashing, maybe get a water filters, maybe do brew at volume after getting a plate chiller. It's drinkable but not great, but wouldn't recommend this beer if available as retail product.
