Our Brew Kit

Since we are all new to home brewing, we bought an inclusive kit that contained (almost) everything that we needed to get started.

We bought the PersonalBrewery(tm) No.4: Bottling Super Deluxe kit from MoreBeer!. It includes the following components:
  • 6 gallon glass carboy fermenter
  • two stoppers (one solid; one with hole)
  • siphon system for transfers
  • 19" stirring spoon (which we're missing... oops!)
  • 8" funnel
  • airlock
  • 6 gallon bottling bucket, with spigot
  • hydrometer and jar (for measuring gravity)
  • bottle filler and tubing
  • hand capper and 50 bottle caps
  • carboy cleaning brush
  • bottle cleaning brush
  • sanitizer
  • nylon steeping bag
  • book: Home Beer Making III
  • 8 gallon kettle with spigot
  • wort chiller
  • hop brew bags
  • 24 x 22 ounce bottles

The kit also includes a recipe and ingredients for Light Ale and the yeast that you need. But since they were out of that ingredients for that brew (and we're not too found of light beers anyway) we upgraded to the Nut Brown recipe.

In addition to the kit, we also bought an adapter and tubing to transfer the wort from the kettle to the fermenter; a sink faucet adapter for connecting the wort chiller; and a bottle sanitizer and drying tree.
