You can pretty much buy all of the equipment you need, minus the brew pot, from any Wine Kitz store. They have a pre-packaged starter kit that's pretty convenient for the beginner.

I've got about 17 of the 16oz EZ cap bottles that I'll sell you for 15 bucks. A couple of them still have homebrew in them :D Thanks! The brew in them is good. Hoppy at first, then mild and sweet, then a good aftertaste. I'm not sure I'd make it quite so sweet, but I'm not entirely sure what you we...

Just a heads up about the Special Best and IPA. These two beers are ONLY served in cask conditioned form....Its just like taking your pint home so the beer will be great that day but not so much the next. So its important to drink it that day. Thanx Ryan, I actually drank some as soon as I got home...

"Never to return" is probably a bit of an exaggeration. We see Dogfish Head beers pretty regularly (once or twice a year) in the seasonal releases, so there's no reason to think we won't get the 60 Minute (in the same minute quantities) again next summer. -Josh Well, never to return this ...

I'm not sure, honestly. It was my first time there.

Do they not taste the beer they sell? What can you expect from a place that seems to have bent over backwards to bring in at least one pilsener from each of the former Soviet Republics, but which won't even bring in craft beers from B.C. or the U.S.A. My rant is done. I am going to drink a real bee...

I bought a couple of growlers of the Best Bitter Special and the IPA. Both were very undercarbonated. I was dissapointed to say the least. I most likely won't buying them in growlers again.
I think they'd be delicious if it weren't for that.
