The only thing missing? Bottles to put it in. Rounding things out, the kit includes the ingredients for a simple American pale ale-the kind of recipe pretty much anyone can enjoy.
If you bottle beer before it's done fermenting, you're leaving yourself vulnerable to "bottle bombs"-a messy and legitimately dangerous situation that involves a lot of glass shards flying at high speed through your house. You need the hydrometer to determine ABV, but its most important function is letting you know when fermentation is finished. The kit also includes a bottle of industry-standard sanitizer Star San (a very important brewing tool!), as well a hydrometer and test tube. An included 5-gallon stainless kettle should last until you outgrow it. It also features an extra-wide mouth for easy cleaning and a spigot that makes it downright simple to sample your beer and transfer it to the bottling bucket. Many kits give you an opaque plastic bucket to ferment your beer in, but this one comes with a clear Fermonster fermenter that lets you see what's going on during fermentation. It costs more than some alternatives, but the included extras make it worth the price. Of all the kits we looked at, MoreBeer's Deluxe Home Brewing Kit comes closest to providing literally everything you'd need and want to brew your first batch of beer. What's included: 5-gallon stainless kettle, 6-gallon Fermonster fermenter, bottling bucket with spigot, thermometer, hydrometer, test tube, tubing, bottling wand, bottle brush, bottle capper, bottle caps, Star San sanitizer, stainless spoon
