Mr. Beer is the simplest way to try homebrewing. This complete kit makes about 2 gallons (8 liters) of a crisp American lager using hopped malt extract produced by Coopers Brewery, so brew day takes roughly 30 minutes on a kitchen stove with no large pot or special equipment. It includes a 2 gallon fermenter with lid and spigot, eleven reusable 740 mL bottles with caps, brewing extract, yeast, a booster pack, carbonation drops, no-rinse cleanser, and step-by-step instructions. Beer is ready to drink in about 4 to 5 weeks.
