Product Description

Beer Starter Kit
Freshest Ingredients

FRESHER INGREDIENTS MAKE BETTER BEER

It goes without saying: beer starts with its ingredients. Ordinary kits skip quality in favor of convenience. Not Northern Brewer; we carefully source every building block of your beer.

  • MALT - We live in the heart of grain country, which gives us direct access to the malt used by the nation's top craft breweries.
  • HOPS - Our hops are pelletized for freshness, then nitrogen flushed to eliminate any remaining oxygen. Expect complex spice, bitterness, citrus, or herbs, depending on the variety.
  • YEAST - Every yeast strain we carry is carefully handled and stored to ensure maximum vitality.

SERVING THE HOMEBREWER COMMUNITY SINCE 1993

Talking about brewing is almost as fun as brewing; having a beer while talking about brewing gives it a run for its money. We believe this conversation is important, ongoing, dynamic, and bridges the gaps of age, gender, politics, etc.

We bring homebrew to the masses (classes, demonstrations, competitions, beer festivals, and advertising outside hobby publications), Northern Brewer has been in the thick of it since 1993.

THE PERFECT STARTER KIT FOR CRAFT BEER ENTHUSIASTS

We've built this all-inclusive kit to be fun and foolproof with some of the most trusted instruction in homebrewing. Rest assured that no matter what your method of learning is, your first homebrew is sure to be a success.

WATCH. LEARN. ENJOY.

Our Brewmasters are very passionate about brewing and want you to have an amazing brewing experience. Watch our detailed step by step brewmaster videos so you too can brew your best.

Someday we want homebrewing to be as common a household craft in America as vegetable gardening, and we know that our hobby/craft/shared passion/obsession won’t get there through complacency

Cracked fermenter
5 Stars
Cracked fermenter
When I checked the fermenter this morning to see if the bubbling had started in the airlock, I found a little bit of liquid around the outside of the fermenter. When I twisted the spigot to tighten the gasket, it caused more beer to leak out. The glass around the spigot had cracked.Mike immediately reached out and will send a new fermenter and another beer kit. Mike's quick response impressed me. I would gladly purchase from Northern Brewer in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing kit packed full of everything you need, plus awesome customer service!
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2020
I bought this as a gift for my husband and he’s OBSESSED! He’s already made the recipe included and is researching more recipes for his next batch. He was super impressed that it came with so much in the kit, we literally didn’t need to buy anything else. (Our popcorn maker was the perfect size pot lol!)
The siphon was cracked (it still did the job) so he messaged customer service and within a day they had a new one shipped out. We were so impressed with it all!!! I can’t say how good the beer is yet, but will update once he tries that first sip!
If you’ve been endlessly researching different kits like I did, stop right now and buy this one!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good self brew beer.
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2020
It tasted like a lot of IPA brands on the market BUT with the difference being you MAKE IT YOURSELF. It was a nice experience. It made me appreciate beers a whole ton more. The instructions might be a lil confusing but leave enough room for some mistake. even with a few mistakes on my end i still ended up with great tasting beer. I do not know the alcohol content at the end but I do know it turned out great. Sharing it with friends and family was also fun.

Fermenter came cracked. I cleared out the glass shards, but it's still leaking at the spigot. Should have gotten a plastic one instead.
