Product Description
ADVANTAGES:
Two-stage fermentation (your choice of two glass or two plastic carboys)
More flexibility — make strong beer, lagers, etc.
More gadgets to make life easier and beer better
Expandable — grows with your homebrewery
The Deluxe Kit uses a two-stage fermentation: the active, or primary, fermentation takes place in a six gallon carboy; the young beer is then transferred to a five gallon carboy, where it quietly sits for a few weeks to several months, depending on the beer being brewed. By separating the young beer from the solids in the primary and allowing it time to condition, the finished beer is clearer in appearance and smoother in flavor and aroma. Although many kinds of ale can be successfully brewed using a single-stage system, any beer can be improved by a two-stage fermentation. Some beers, like strong ales and lagers, as well as even stronger beverages like mead, require extended aging that can only be accomplished with a two-stage fermentation.
As with the Better Basic Kit, you can choose traditional glass carboys, or lighter and less-fragile plastic carboys for your kit.
The Deluxe Kit features more equipment to make brewing easier and more fun: a large test jar makes hydrometer readings more accurate and easier to read, two "Fermometers" stick to your carboys for constant temperature readings, and a laboratory thermometer eliminates imprecision when steeping specialty grains or cooling wort. A sturdy carboy dryer makes for hands-off draining and storage of your fermenters, and we upgrade the capper to the red "Emily" style, which is easier on the wrists and can be converted to cap larger Belgian and Champagne bottles.
