Complete Home Brewing Kits for Beginning Brewers

If you are new to home brewing, or looking for a gift, you're in the right place. To get started making your own beer at home you will need one of the Perfect Brewing Hardware Kits, and one or more of the ingredient kits below. You will also need (but is not included) a pot that will allow you to boil 2 or 3 gallons of water (the bigger the better), and enough beer bottles for 5 gallons (about 54 if they are 12 oz. each). The bottles should not be twist top. Everything in the hardware kit is reusable.

Why buy our kit over the competition? Virtually every other store on the internet sells kits that do not have a gasket seal on the fermenter. Sanitation is critical in home brewing. With a fermenter that won't seal, your beer can become contaminated. That may sound simple, but 90 percent of the kits sold on the internet and in other stores use a cheap pickle bucket type lid with no sealing gasket.

They have cleaner, we have sanitizer: Cleaner and sanitizer are not the same. Sanitizer kills bacteria, cleaner does not. Most of the kits on the market come with an oxygen based cleaner. Our kits come with true sanitizer.

Don't take chances on losing a batch of beer because of poor sanitary conditions. With proper care, your batches will come out perfect with the Perfect Brewing Hardware Kit.

A complete instruction book is included. All the hardware in this kit is completely reusable, and will work with any 5 gallon beer kits.

6.5 gallon fermenter

Perfect Brewing Deluxe Hardware Kit
Contains:
6.5 Gallon Primary Fermenter
6.5 Gallon Bottling Bucket with Bottling Spigot
5 Better Bottle PET Secondary Fermenter
Instructions
C-Brite Sanitizer
Twin Lever Capper
Triple Scale Hydrometer
Airlock
Drilled Universal Carboy Bung
Liquid Crystal Thermometer
Siphon Hose and Shut-Off Clamp
Fermtech Auto Siphon
Bottle Filler
Bottle Brush

What's the difference between our Deluxe kits and many of the others? The Auto-Siphon! One of the more difficult tasks in home brewing is transferring the liquids. When making beer, you can't start a siphon with your mouth due to the hazards of bacterial contamination. The Auto-Siphon solves this problem completely. I was amazed how well this worked the first time I used it. Just pull up, push down, and your siphon is started. It really does work that easily.

We also include a Better Bottle PET Carboy for secondary fermentation, to produce clearer beers. With less weight than glass, equivalent performance, and no chance of breaking, we feel this is the best choice for home brewing.

This kit is a great value for beginning brewers.
Qty: Price: $99.99


Perfect Brewing's
Complete Beer Ingredient Kits
These kits even includes bottle caps!

Each kit makes 5 gallons of microbrewery quality home brewed beer. These are quite complete, with (as required) all malts and hops, grain bags, hop bags, priming sugar, bottle caps, and instructions.

If you are just starting out and want to make the best beer you can, or if you are an experienced brewer looking for a great batch with a minimum effort, these are the kits for you. They all contain real hops, real grains, and everything else you need to make a 5 gallon batch.

Complete brewing instructions are included. These kits are suitable for beginning brewers, and anyone else who wants to brew a great beer that is accurate to style.
Note: Photo is a Porter Kit. Other kits vary according to type of beer.

Get ready to roll out the barrel with our famous German festival beer.  Oktoberfest takes place during the 16 days before the first Sunday in October.  A special Oktoberfest beer is brewed for the occasion, which is slightly darker and stronger, in both taste and alcohol.
