Vital Brewing Equipment Cleaning Kit.

The Deluxe Starter Kit includes 8 oz. of cleaning powder for your new brewing equipment. But if you want to set yourself up for future brew days, we recommend adding on the optional cleaning kit. Plus, you can save $8 by purchasing them as a bundle. (Note* we cannot ship this product by air)

Additional Equipment Upgrades

If you have a kettle that holds 5 Gallons of water, that will work with this kit! If you don't, we have a few options for you:

1. The acclaimed 8-gallon MegaPot kettle. It is large enough for all the recipe kit options for the Deluxe Starter Kit, and it will work perfectly as a mash tun when you're ready to advance to all-grain beer recipes.

2. The 8 Gallon Brew Kettle & Burner Kit. Take your brewing outside of the kitchen.

3. The almighty Brewhouse Ignition Pack. This kit will give you the most bang for your buck. It includes the 8-Gallon MegaPot Kettle, the Dark Star Burner, AND a Copperhead immersion wort chiller!

This kit has almost everything you need to get going. I’d hate to hunt all this down separately. So far so good with our first brew.

Got this kit for my husband. The process was easy to follow. Delicious beer kit, turned out good. He says he wished there were more specific instructions that came with the deluxe brewing kit regarding using the thermometer, hygrometer, and secondary fermentation process. One of the carboys had a crack but not sure how or when and it was superficial so it still worked fine. All in all, it was a success, and the beer tasty!

A Great Kit, A Great Company!

I ordered the Deluxe Homebrew Starter Kit because I wanted a complete kit with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. For years I've toyed with the idea of brewing my own beer, and when I ended up with a bumper crop of hops on my 2nd year bines this Fall, I decided it was time. After researching several different "kits" this one stood out. It was a little bigger and more complex than just a simple beginner beer-making kit, and because I expected to be in it for the long haul, I wanted just that. This is a kit that I can probably use a lot of its components forever, and some I will likely want to upgrade as I learn more.

I also discovered the NorthernBrewerTV YouTube channel which had a video tutorial specifically for this kit. Having never done this before, I needed that additional hand-holding and Northern Brewer has been there every step of the way. Not just with videos, but through chat and email. Their staff, particularly Mike, has offered up some great advice all throughout my learning process.

For my recipe option I chose the “Fresh Squished IPA” which came with its own printed set of instructions. With that in hand, combined with NorthernBrewerTV and the complimentary “Home Brewing 101” online course, I felt like I was well prepared for success.

And I sure WAS successful! The Kit, the recipe and the company did not disappoint. Brew day went without a hitch, the fermentation was a delight, and the bottling was a lot of fun. A week after bottling, I tasted my first beer, and it was delicious! I am so happy, and already have a follow up batch fermenting away in my basement, this time a porter.
The kit itself is great, with some good quality and functional components. There are a few things that don’t come with the kit, like a brewing pot, bottles and a few other things that you may want or need, but it’s all available at Northern Brewer, at what I’ve found everything to have a very competitive price. If you’re just starting out, this is definitely the way to go. Cheers!
