Some thoughts on the beer itself: it was exceptionally smooth with faint floral hoppiness, but admittedly lacked some depth. For a beer so easy to brew, that was a trade off I thought was worth it. It also pairs well with just about any food. My favorite pairing? Korean Fried Chicken!
An extra tip: I wanted to up the ABV and had extra 5 oz Priming Sugar (aka corn sugar/dextrose) packets lying around, and added an additional 10 oz at 40 mins into the boil with the other corn sugar provided. That got me to 5.8-5.9% by the end of the brew. Don't be afraid to experiment with it! Best of luck!
The kits come with everything needed all pre-packaged. The instructions are clear enough once you have a good grasp on the brewing process. The suggest secondary fermenting, but since I use a conical fermenter, I get a very clear beer without this step.
This was the first go with a new fermenter setup so I wanted something cheaper in case it all went wrong! I usually drink IPAs and Porters so always knew this kit was going to produce something with less flavor than I would usually go for. The end result was excellent though and has a little more bitterness than I was expecting. I may make this kit again in the summer when needing something generic on hand for friends.
