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

Nice kit, but little things you should know
4 Stars
Nice kit, but little things you should know
Nice kit. I just bottled 48 beers and could of bottled at least 2 more, but only was prepared for 48. Rest In Peace left over beer. This kit comes with almost everything you need. I did have to buy some beer bottles and some full bottles I drank to get to 24, you can not use twist off caps so finding pry off beer was hard at a reasonable price. This kit only comes with 12 beer labels so if you are going to label your beer bottles you will need to purchase labels also, I opted to keep my bottles label free for now, easier to clean.instructions are lacking, you can google a video or two, but still I missed a couple of things I caught later. It comes with two sanitation packets and the way the instructions read I ended up using both on brew day, at separate times where I was supposed to save the original solution for the second part of the sanction process and I needed to buy some more for bottling day. This will take several hours on brew day and two weeks later several hours on bottling day so be prepared for that. I would guess around 4 as I really had all day just to play around with this. From start to finish you are looking at a month, brew day, let sit for 2 weeks, bottling day let sit for two weeks, getter cold and have a nice glass of cold delicious beer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great beer, great value
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2019
Judging by most of the reviews, I seem to be one of the only people that purchased this with the Hank's Hefeweizen kit instead of the Block Party Amber. The short version is that it turned out great.

Before purchasing this kit, I also looked into buying all the equipment individually, but this is way more economical. This kit, which includes a recipe kit and all the equipment you need, is $100. Buying just the recipe kit by itself is about $40. The cheapest equivalent food grade bucket and bottling bucket around $25 each, so just with those items, you're at just about the price of the entire kit. Then factor in that a 5 gallon kettle is at least $30, a bottle capper is $20, an auto siphon another $20, and the little things like a bottle brush and a large spoon and such, and there's no way you'll ever come out ahead by trying to buy everything individually.

Initially I was looking at getting their deluxe kit, but there's really no point. The main difference is that the deluxe kit comes with a couple of 5 gallon glass carboys, while this kit comes with food grade plastic buckets. The plastic buckets are perfectly fine, and you'll never know the difference when you're drinking your beer. Also, oddly enough, the deluxe kit does not come with the 5 gallon kettle that this kit comes with.

The only thing you'll need to buy that isn't included in the kit are bottles. However you can reuse any non twist off bottles you have around the house. This kit yielded 43 bottles worth of beer for me.

Brewing instructions were simple and easy to follow. They also have a good video on YouTube that walks you through the process. I let it ferment for 2 weeks, then bottled it. I tried one 10 days after bottling, and it had plenty of carbonation. The beer I can most closely compare this to would be a Leffe Blonde.

Overall an excellent buy, and I'm currently working on my second brew.

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2019
Where do I even begin...

First off, let me just say that the customer service of this company is by far one of the best ones I have ever experienced. Since each one of these packages is hand selected and put together, mistakes happen and things get forgotten. I contacted them and they PROMPTLY sent me the missing item. No questions asked. Super fast shipping. I absolutely LOVE that.

My husband and I went to visit one of his Military buddies out in FL Who just opened his own brewery a year ago and we came back home inspired. I got this kit for my husband as a gift and as soon as it came in, we began brewing our Hefeweizen. The instructions are super easy and clear and you literally got everything you need right under tour fingertips. After a 2 week fermentation period, we tried the (then just a little bit lively but not super carbonated) fermented beer and it was GREAT. So we were hopeful when we began bottling the beer and carbonating it.
We ended up with 34 bottles and a mini keg full of beer from this one batch. We hosted a little beer unveiling and it was GREAT.

My husband has since placed a few other orders from the company through their site and we currently have a small batch of a Blonde Ale that he put together fermenting up.

We are about to place another order and begin brewing something else!

With the holiday season upon us, this would be an AMAZING gift to give your spouse, parent, sibling or friend. Trust me, they would love it. My husband even convinced one of his work buddies to get a kit as well and begin brewing at home too.

Overall, AMAZING quality products, AMAZING customer service, AMAZING gift and AMAZING flavor.

Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2020
The recipe kit and all the other components are well thought-out and make it easy for a beginner. The instructions offer tips for preparation as well, which is super helpful. Lots of videos on their channel to help with the process and the beer itself turned out great! I got 32 x 500ml bottles out of it.
It's a shame the recipe kits aren't available from any retailers in Canada and NB doesn't (currently) ship here. I would brew the Block Party Amber again if I could get my hands on it (without travelling to the US or setting up with a forwarder). Cheers, NB!
