Living Social has a Midwest Supplies Beer Brewing Kit, Recipe Kit, Bottle Opener and $25 credit toward a second Recipe Kit for $63 + $12 shipping = $75 shipped. Includes all the tools you'll need to turn your basement into a microbrewery, and enough ingredients to make 10 gallons of beer. That should last at least a couple weeks, right?
WOW ~ I finally get a chance to screw up 10 gallons of "BEER", and just think, even if I don't ruin it in production, it probably will still taste so horrible I will have to consume it myself. Not to mention the fact that it is going to cost me $7.50 PER GALLON, a price I would never pay for a premium beer at a distributor, and I can tell all my "friends" that I F - U - C - K - E - D it up all by myself.
Look on the brightside. It still will taste better than Budweiser.
Buy this and you get to go to all the effort of make what turns out to be shitty tasting beer. You then come to realize that commercial beer is way under priced...
The good news is that it will still turn a Ben's Bargain 4 into a 10...
Ben's Bargains 4 + 6 six pack = 10.
Or... You take a little time to educate yourself beyond the category of ignorant ass and learn how to make great beer. Which after the initial investment for reusable equipment, 5 gallons of high quality beer can be made for about $30. Enjoy your trolling.
Another homemade beer snob that fancy themselves as some sort of brew masters.. I'm sure your friends tell you how great your swill tastes as gag it down out of courtesy as your ego and pin shaped head inflates...
Did I not spell it clearly enough for your wide troll eyes to read? People enjoy brewing and if you have an IQ above 65, it's pretty easy. My apologies for your lack of qualification. Instead of mocking something you clearly know nothing about, spare the time and moronic input for your own shortcomings.
I'm sure people enjoy home brewing with kits like this, it's just the end product beer they make tastes like crap and hardly worth the effort.
Since you seem to think that you're some sort of sophisticated beer maker along with being very intelligent, which awards has your swill in the bottle won recently?
I prefer a higher quality beer and I do brew some of my own beer. This kit won't do a good job of it though. A proper brewing setup costs a lot more. In addition, unless you want to start growing your own hops and malting your own barley - you are going to be unhappy with how much home brewing costs per pint. Even with all of the equipment paid for and not counting energy, capping, or bottle replacement/sterilizing costs - it would still be cheaper for me to buy premium bottled beer. It costs me about $1.50/bottle. I do it because I enjoy it and like to try to new things and sharing my efforts with others. If you are a busy person, just buy the good stuff at the store and avoid the headaches.
Also, there are hundreds of high quality local, regional, and microbrewers in America now. There is simply no excuse for buying anything from Inbev, Molson-Coors, TsingTao, SABMiller, or Heineken again. They are all foreign companies anyway. Don't just buy an American beer, buy one made by someone who lives in your city or region.
I've made plenty of batches of beer. None of which come close to the negative terms you folks speak of.
It's not hard.
Sorry I upset the one Budweiser drinker out there. My most sincere apologies and do feel free to bite me. That said, I have about 20 cases of higher alcohol content and fuller bodied beers conditioning right now. I haven't bought crappy beer or tossed empty cans or bottles in the trash for years. I reuse my bottles and make pretty decent beer. I enjoy it and that is all that matters. This is a good kit to get you started.
^ Most recycling programs take beer cans and bottles. I'm sure it tastes great... like Pizza, ALL beer tastes good with the exception of some crap I once had called "Steel Reserve 211", it is truly the most vile concoction possible. Budweiser and even all the dirt cheap 40oz are like caviar compared to it, tastes like a pig ate some rotten corn then pissed it out.
Somehow it managed to win the World Beer Cup 2012 category for American-Style Premium Lager or Specialty Lager category but there must have been some serious bribery going on to pull that off, or maybe it was the last entry and they were drunk by then.

Not fair to present a picture of mother's milk (Guinness) instead of the specimen you'll brew with this kit.
How many of you Barfweiser drinkers out there are making fun of homebrewing but love your bread machine?
I'll take homebrew anyday over homebake.
