Hops To It
After discovering a vintage fermenter in her father's basement, Erica Shea and Stephen Valand researched the art of home brewing and swiftly became self-taught pros. The pair quit their advertising jobs and left for a seven week beer-tasting tour of Europe to train their palates and test the possibility of a business partnership. They returned inspired and ready to launch this do-it-yourself kit, equipped with everything you need to brew up a mouth-watering storm of pale ales, porters or saisons. Yields the equivalent of 12 beers in four weeks. Made in the USA and Canada.
Sold individually.
Includes:
1 Gallon Glass Fermenter, airlock, tubing, thermometer, tubing clamp, packet of sanitizer, stopper and blowoff attachment.

Bring on the merriment! I love the idea of making this at home.

great find!

just not much too this. I've seen this elsewhere with more stuff -books, types, bottles, etc. This just seems incomplete.

Very good price!

I think this is great and would love to get this as a gift for my husband

Ive seen other kits that looked really intimidating, but this looks simple like maybe I could do this.

a comprehensive kit would be better

Nice to have everything you need (except bottles, caps, and a bottler) in one package. Nice price.
Kathryn

Fun fits.

already made the beer
MELISSA

would want to know a bit more re: what this includes, entails, etc. before purchasing but would potentially consider as a gift for several individuals.
Melissa
Vote: Thumbs down!
Just not my thing. I wouldnt dabble with something like that. Perfer to buy from the store. I do see the novelty of it and could see some people getting really into home brew. Just not for me.
Gayle
Vote: Thumbs up!
Well, if you're going to drink it, why not make it.
vanessa
Does this come with instructions?
Elizabeth
Vote: Thumbs up!
great price. especially for a begginer.
krystal

Will it come with instructions and recipe book? If not, then I'll pass.

People are too lazy to return movies to a video store these days, let alone brew their own beer.
Mitzi
Vote: Thumbs up!
Great...would buy one for hubby who loves to make home brew.
Tina Marie
Vote: Thumbs up!
clever idea, have seen it in many other stores. seems as if it's missing something though.
Darcy
Vote: Thumbs up!
Another "not my style" but could be a cute gift for the right price for the right person.
Brenda
Vote: Thumbs up!
We've been growing our own hops and thinking of trying this ourselves. What a fun way to try it out! Plus, this would be a great gift.
Stan
Vote: Thumbs up!
I like that this is a small batch brewer instead of the typical 5 gallon type.
Kathleen
Vote: Thumbs down!
You can buy kits anywhere, and they come with more stuff. How much will shipping be for the glass jug? I have a similar jug here at home that was $2.
Cathy
Vote: Thumbs up!
good guy gift :)
Ann
Vote: Thumbs down!
Many have tried....all have failed. Nothing good ever comes from trying to brew your own. Leave it to the professionals.
Michael
Forty bucks for a glass jar, hops and a thermometer? That's expensive for only 12 beers.

Perfect.

You can get this kind of thing all over.
Janet
Vote: Thumbs down!
I hate these kinds of things. They rarely get used, don't make a wonderful final product, and I sure wouldn't want to receive one as a gift. (Been there, and didn't do that!)
Kathy
Vote: Thumbs up!
I like this better than the "brew in a bag in your closet" style. I'd try it!
Barbara
Vote: Thumbs up!
Might be fun, but hope that it has really good instructions!
Jon
Vote: Thumbs up!
*in my best Homer voice* Mmmmmm... beer!
Elizabeth
Vote: Thumbs down!
Eh, I'm not into drinking/sharing cutesy weird homemade brews. Chocolate? Also don't have the counter space for this setup, even at "compact".

Vote: Thumbs down!
I'm not patient enough - I'll just go to the beer store...
Kath
Vote: Thumbs up!
A little too expensive, but my husband would get into the simplicity of this kit.
Fran
Vote: Thumbs down!
Too much work for the money. Just go to the store and buy a case for a lot less.
John
Vote: Thumbs up!
Looks like they've simplified the method compared to other kits I've seen, but the price seems a little high.
Janet
Vote: Thumbs up!
Could be a good gift for a beer enthusiast but seems small and you would need other supplies - like bottles.
amy
Vote: Thumbs up!
this is very popular now and the growler looks a lot better than the typical bucket
Lily
Vote: Thumbs up!
LOVE it, I know a lot of people that would like this gift.
Jamie

Love it! Want to buy it for my husband
Louise
Vote: Thumbs up!
Fun gift at a reasonable price.
Melissa
Vote: Thumbs up!
Way cool! With all the at home and microbrewing that's been happening, this is right on point. I definitely will get this.
bonnie
Vote: Thumbs down!
Could it be any good? You can buy thousands of flavors/brands so easily.
Eileen
Vote: Thumbs down!
I suppose it's fine for inexperienced brewers.
teresa
Vote: Thumbs down!
much incomplete kit
Jessamyn
Vote: Thumbs up!
I think this is great option for a gift for a guy (and a girl, but especially guys) as they are often hard to buy for. It certainly would add to the "for him" section.
Melanie
Vote: Thumbs up!
great gift
Rachelle
Vote: Thumbs up!
Good price...but is the beer any good? Good gift for the beer enthusiast.
Jessica
Vote: Thumbs up!
A great gift for a beer lover!
Mary

I'm sure it would make a good gift for a lot of guys!
Amy
Vote: Thumbs up!
Love this idea, while I'm not a beer drinker myself, I think a lot of people would like this! How about a wine making kit, that's more my style!
Jamie
Vote: Thumbs down!
$40 for a 12 pack seems like a rip off to me
Katy
Vote: Thumbs up!
Great gift for my boyfriend! I would love to see this on the site!
Kathleen
Vote: Thumbs down!
YUK, not for me. Many have tried it but don't stick with it very long.
Jamie
Vote: Thumbs up!
I bought directly from their Brooklyn store before. This is amazing stuff and it's a great price.
Wendy
Vote: Thumbs down!
I suppose this is good for the more adventurous home cook, but I prefer to leave the brewing to the pros.

i don't drink beer.

Kit doesn't look complete. And a glass mecury thermometer? Really? Is this 1910? You can get much better kits online.
Elizabeth

Leave this to the companies that specialize in beer making supplies.
Katie
Vote: Thumbs up!
great for the 21st bday. Could open a whole new hobby! I got something like this for my brother's 21st and now he has an actually brewery and loves it.

Does not seem like a complete enough set

Fun!...if it works.

Cool gift idea and unique, i have never seen one of these.

Katharine

I can see it now: Every college fraternity and dorm will have their own brew kits ready and loaded before check-in even begins, and Animal House lives again!! Guys, our national science deficit needs something a good deal better than this!!!

I've seen these types of kits. I'm not interested.

Too pricey for what you get.

I know several people who would have a great time with this!
Jackie
Vote: Thumbs up!
I've seen this type of item offered before. It looks easy to use and the price appears to be in a good area.
Jennifer
Is it just me or does the sample beer in the gallon jug look more like Hawaiian Punch than beer? I don't think my guy would want to drink red beer.
Johanna
Vote: Thumbs down!
Why would you want to make it when its just around the corner ready to go.
sarah
Vote: Thumbs up!
Seen this before, but you can never go wrong with beer!
COLLEEN

I LOVE microbrews especially from Michigan! However, I'm not a fan of IPAs. Might be a good gift for someone who wants to experiment with brewing their own beer...like a starter kit. In any case, I've gotta think that once you brew your first batch of beer you would never want to stop!
Joana
Vote: Thumbs up!
seems interesting, but the price... eck. i could go out and buy beer cheaper
Annamarie

would be a great gift

Great gift for that guy in your family who's hard to buy for.
Brooke

Great gift for many people I know, including me!
Misa
Vote: Thumbs up!
Great idea, especially if it'd come as a complete kit.Maybe even some DIY bottle labels as a coordinating product..?! Now I think that would make this WAY fun!
