I started with the same kit from Morebeer 2 years ago from Black Friday. The one I got came with a CO2 tank/regulator and 5 gallon torpedo keg. This is what tipped the scale for me to splurge on it, otherwise I probably would have just bought individual pieces. Great starter kit though. I made about 4 batches of extract before upgrading to keggles (mash tun & boil kettle), but still use the 8 gallon pot for transferring strike water and various odds and ends. I still use the immersion chiller as a secondary chiller and an ice bath after wort flows through my counterflow chiller for 50F lager pitch temperatures. The fermonster was a weak point for me. The first one I got came with a spigot. My first batch leaked nearly a gallon of beer on my floor. I returned it to Morebeer for a non-spigotted version. That second one lasted about 5 more batches before it warped due to cleaning it with hot water. I quickly switched to fermenting 1/2 bbl sankey kegs. Never used the bottling bucket, bottle filler, capper, cleaning tabs/sanitizer (I just bought 4lbs of PBW and bottle of starsan from the get go) I still use the spoon and hydrometer.
Thanks for this and all you videos!!
Love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Ahh I remember the days of excitement when I first started brewing! Good times!

Same here! It was honestly SO FUN to do an extract batch, it took all of 3 hours max from start to finish
Awesome! Such a cool thing to do. I love your channel
Great video. Looking to get started soon, so this is awesome.
Your videos are awesome! Thanks for what you do!
Love your videos I find them very informative.
This is a great series idea and promotion, thanks for putting it all together!
Cheers, looks like an awesome starter kit and some cool goodies from great companies.
Awesome kit!

Love the video. Thank you!
Nice! Love what your doin here! Great show!
I always look forward to your next video and seeing what your brewing up next.
Nice starter kit, everything to get started with. Looking forward to the brewday video,
Love your vids!! I really want that kit!!
Would be a great Christmas gift to get someone started. Nothing better than brewing with a group of people and drinking
I just going to start making my own brewing and I get really excited in brewing whenever I look at your videos! Keep doing great stuff!!
A nice kit, for sure.
Cool video. I like the honesty and unpretentious way you present content.
You have a great channel. Learning a lot
I gotta buy this kit for my friend. Its got everything!
That’s an awesome kit!! NEED THIS SO I CAN CONTINUE WITH MY JOURNEY!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🍺🍻
Cheers from Brazil,you're awesome....i love how often you post videos,thanx
Been brewing for a few years, just a couple beers a year, but was really scared of deviating from the recipe. Watching your channel has definitely encouraged me to be a bit more experimental. Happy you are encouraging new brewers!
Happy Learn to Homebrew Day!!! Homebrewing is one of the most rewarding hobbies!
I have just started Homebrewing (because I needed another quarantine hobby) and I love this channel because you're local (I'm in L.A.) and you demonstrate that you don't need to have a huge garage or farm to do this! Thanks Sarah!
Keep up with the great videos!
Thank you for doing this video! I’m new to the brewing world and am so excited to get started. Your videos let me know that it’s not as scary as I initially though it was. Tomorrow is my first brew day!!!!
I'm still pretty new to home brewing, got my second batch in secondary, ready to bottle this weekend, and my third batch is still fermenting, got a batch of Basic Mead (1 gallon batch) fermenting away, I need to pull a specific gravity reading to see if it's done yet, although it's still burping through the airlock at almost 3 weeks. LOVE your videos and passion for the craft. I wish I'd known 30 years ago how basic this craft was, and how fun. Keep rockin at what you do! YOU ROCK!
Our local club had a successful Learn to Homebrew day!
Wow there's a lot of good stuff in that starter kit
Cool, same kit I started with last year! Upgraded a few things along the way
Been watching for a while, plan to do my first brew this weekend!
Excellent!!
You have a great channel Sarah , keep it up !!!!
Cant wait to start homebrewing
I didn't know there was a homebrew day! So cool
What an awesome giveaway! Really like your videos and great content.
My great uncle and I brewed beer in the late 1960s and I have been brewing ever since so, yeah I've seen some evolution in home brewing. You do a fantastic job teaching the basics.
Really enjoy your videos! Thank you for putting on these giveaways :) cheers!
Great videos.
Thanks for posting these. You've piqued my interest in brewing for myself and friends.
Thanks Sarah!
Love this video! Hopefully my between this and my sister I can figure out how to do this!
Cheers! Homebrewing is fun, excited to submit my 5th brew, an American Stout for judging on Nov. 7th. Thanks for the video and good luck to all who enter to win.
I like that stock pot with the attachments. I've always funneled the chilled wert into the fermenter.
Can't wait to watch the other videos. Excited for the grain video. Hope to win!
Wow, this really seems like a great kit for beginners! Even more so as it comes with a chiller. Like many other homebrewers in my area I started with simply a pot and a bucket (the pot for mashing and boiling, the bucket for lautering and fermentation). So in those early days, chilling the wort was the most annoying thing I had to deal with on every brewday. Since then I've hoarded a lot of equipment so that now I basically could brew on three different systems simultaneously. Although I love the convenience of my current Grainfather setup, I kinda like the idea that I could go back to the pot and bucket at any time. Anyway, this is a really great giveaway event, thanks for sharing it with us!
Love your channel. Because of your channel I am looking to by the Clawhammer unit. Keep up the good work.
This is awesome, let's get more people brewing!!
This would be an awesome win!
Great vid as always. I’ve been making mead for over ten years and recently got into home brewing. Currently fermenting my 4th batch of extract. Lock Down Brown Ale🍻👍🏼✌🏼. Soon I’ll be graduating to all grain. Thanks for the tips, tricks and home brew knowledge. Cheers 🍻
Would love to get into Home Brewing! Thank you for this chance.
My friend and I have our first brew day planned on the 11th. Right now we have just enough equipment to have one batch going at a time. Would love to win this kit. Love your videos!!! Lots of useful info! Cant wait to get started brewing.
I haven't installed my valves on the set-up I'm piecing together yet, this will make it look like I know what I'm doing to the housemates when I get around to this sometime this winter.
Looking forward to more videos
Put the Teflon tape on clockwise with the threads facing you. I always got it wrong before I started doing this.
I’ve got a strong ale sitting in a fermonster right now, they are great.
Love this i never started with a kit as good as this, I would get that now just for the kettle #iwantthatkettle. Lol
#FreeTheHops can’t wait to get the home brew flowing!
I’ve enjoyed your content for a while. I appreciate the giveaway!
This is my first year brewing and I made 15 batches on a simple 20L plastic fermenter (+ 1 more for sanitization). This is so nice to experiment! Here is some my random imaginings this year: Trying to make the same beer with the exact same ingredients, Trying to make the beer with some variation (yeast, hops...) Fruits beer, CBD beer, non-alcoholic beer, honey beer, multiple yeast beer, brown ale and so much more to try! Have fun everyone ! (Chimay Bottle in Belgium is the best for free beer bottle)
I just started home brewing this year. This would be an awesome kit to have, especially since my fermenter is a five gallon bucket which leaves no room to ferment a full five gallon recipe.
Great chance to start brewing
Nice! I started on a northern brewer kit and this one looks better! Switching to electric changed the game for me though!
It's awesome. Looking pretty too
Nice Video. #STAYSAFE #KEEPBREWING
A homebrewer that manages to keep the weight off! ;)
Great giveaway and great video.
All great advice. Doubling sanitize advice. I (sometimes) miss the days of my old tamale pot and brew bag.
I picked up mead making during quarantine, primarily due to the lower cost of entry into a homebrewing hobby. The cost of kettles and chillers and fermentation chambers and everything else really intimidated me. But I've made about 30 gallons of mead since May and have accumulated far more equipment than planned (just bought a full keg set up!) and a recent foray into braggots has gotten me interested in beer once again.
Awesome
Damn, I wish this giveaway was for the UK too! I’d absolutely love to start brewing my own beer. I’ve been talking to so many bar owners, and trying so many amazing beers, I’m ready to try it out myself!
Yep. I mash and boil in a 5 gallon soup kettle, and ferment in a 2 gallon bucket. Makes for small batches, but that's OK.
I want. Kit 😍
Cool video
Nice!,!
Nice! I could really use this :-) you're awesome! Keep it up :-)
My first beer- American Honey Ale. 1 gallon batch. It came out watery. Like I had good carb, smell was great, but it was watery. I had beer in my water. I have a 5 gallon cream ale brewing. I hope the step up helps.
I have done a few batches, but my home made brewing kit it’s not as awesome as this lol. You have great videos 🤙🏼🍺
The ptfe tape is easy, look at the end of the thread from the end you are inserting. Then wrap the tape clockwise.
It's crazy what some people get for brewing beer. I just started out with the brew in the bag and making mead. Now if I had a kit like this in the start, my friends would be calling me Malter White with all the tubes and containers. Here is to hoping I can have the dream of getting this kit, shaving my head and quoting Bryan Cranston.
this is the one thing I've missing doing. I haven't brewed beer in a long while.
That kettle sure is nice.
This is gonna be a great series. Been wanting to try to do a home brew. Quick question as you are putting it together. I guessing we should test for leaks, before we get to far in the process?
Ow Flora I am moving now to the US... just to get this prize... no just kidding. Thanks for this and other video's 😜
Hi I love you KZread videos very interesting!!!
My wife and I both brew. Can always use more supplies between us!
Yes, Sarah, what show/episode was your raw ale again, please. ??
Remind your viewers that ALL joints should have Teflon tape. Stainless steel will gall-under heat/pressure they will kind of “weld” together. It’s also hard to seal without tape.
New to beer brewing. Been making mead for a while now and made my first braggot. Interested in learning to make beer now!! I started following your channel and subscribed couple of months ago. Used your videos to help me set up my kegerator and also learned how to force carb and using a carb stone. Lots of good info. I came today to look at some vids and saw your giveaway! Sign me up to win!!!
I've been brewing for a few years and my kit still falls short of that one. Nice stuff!
Love watching your videos. All good advice and lots of laughs. I still want to try the brewing outdoors and use stream water. #brewlife4life
I didn't realize that home brew was so much more complicated in America!
"And I'm pretty sure I did that wrong..." Me, every day I'm in the Brewery :-P
I love your tutorials and hope I win one of these packages.
