Normally we don't brew from a kit. Out of laziness (no brewing stores where we live) and because of the low price we decided to give it a try. Normally we spend twice the amount assembling all the ingredients. The kit comes with very clear instructions. Furthermore, all the ingredients are individually labeled with instructions on when to add. This makes the brewing process almost fool proof, this also helps out if there is drinking involved. After eight days of primary fermentation, we added a seven day secondary fermentation step which is not in the instructions or required. We like to add the secondary fermentation step because it increases the clarity of the beer and allows us to bottle or keg when we are ready. Ten days after bottling, the beer tasted great. It is recommended waiting two weeks, but we couldn't resist. The beer had good carbonation, nice clarity, a very mild malty taste with just a taste of hops. You should be aware that this kit does not include bottle caps. Overall I would give this kit an A.

This was my first attempt at brewing my own beer, I love Oktoberfest brews and decided on this one. The ingredients were fresh and made terrific beer and the instructions were easy to read and follow. The beer turned out amazing, with good flavor and perecft aftertaste and was a huge hit with my buddies. I will be trying some of thier other brew kits soon. Cheers!

This really is true to the German quality. Everyone I let drink this commented that it's excellent. They couldn't believe it was home brew! =) It's a great hit with my friends & family, so will definitely buy more.

I just opened up my first bottle of this tonight! I kept it in the fermenter for 3 weeks, then in the bottles at room temperature for 3 weeks, and put one in the fridge for a couple days. It already has a great taste and will only get better with time. I recommend compiling the kit instructions, your equipment instructions, and as much of http://www.homebrewtalk.com as you can read to get a great grasp on the whole process.

I was very pleased with how fast my order came. The directions were good and we have made our batch of beer with success! We are now anxiously waiting to taste it.

This was my first batch of beer. I gave bottles away to friends and family everywhere and the reception was always the same - everyone agreed it was delicious, certainly much better than commercial beer. Not bad for a first batch. Great kit!

this oktoberfest beer kit is great. it makes really good beer. i make alot of beer(24 gallons a month) and this is good beer. i have tried several of thier other kits and they are all good. don't be afraid to buy this beer kit. you'll like it alot.

This was the first lager I have attempted since I started home brewing. The kit was straight forward, but lacked the detail for a true lager. I supplemented the instructions with other reference material. The batch is bottle conditioning at this time, but the beer turned out great so far. The color and clarity is good and the flavor will be great.
