Just finished drinking my first batch made with Mr Beer and am very please with everything. The process was simple, low costing, and great tasting! I feel like I’m learning a lot about the brewing process and have bought a lot more malt extracts to keep myself busy for at least a year! I definitely recommend to anyone who’s even a little interested in brewing their own beer.

The perfect product for the small time brewing beginner. A great product to indroduce the concept of beer brewing. Easy to use and understand and produces a great finished product.

I agree with another reviewer in that this is much more like a toy. i was surprised that the keg and bottles were plastic. the 'keg' looked like what would be around a St Bernards neck. It is very hard to take this product seriously and even more so to think that the keg and bottles will be lasting, and not fall to ruin in short order.

Considering the tackiness of the kit, i feel that is is way overpriced and that there are much better ways to go; ways that give greater value over the long run.

But, the important concern, the taste. I was quite disappointed in the beer quality that was made from this kit, with a 10-high rating, this beer would be but a grudging 5.

As an aside, while one should not really have to contact their customer service; I did, and with lasting regrets and would avoid doing that again...better to buy elsewhere I think. Rating: 2 / 5

It is not the best home brewing kit you can buy, but it was inexpensive, and easy to use.

This kit is more of a toy then an actual home brew kit. It’s fun, easy, and cheap, but if you’re serious about getting into home brewing you should save the money and invest in a better kit (you can get fairly good ones staring around $75 in some places).
