My experience

I have brewed dozens of their beer kits with great success, however these seltzer kits are trash. I ordered four kits and brewed the first kit per the instructions but did not take any specific gravity measurements assuming it would land somewhat close to the desired ABV like any other kit I received from them in the past. The first batch was a raspberry and like many reviews the flavor was almost nonexistent and tasted like dead yeast. I suspected the ABV was very low but couldn’t be sure without any measurements, that’s on me. Fast forward to the second batch, I brewed exactly to the instructions, fermented in a warmer environment (70 degrees Fahrenheit) added yeast nutrient as instructed. Today was week 5 (I gave one week extra to help the dead yeast settle out) and about to keg the batch I checked my gravity and realized it had barely fermented. OG 1.034 down to 1.026 = 1.05% ABV. Also, out of the four kits, at least one yeast packet was expired by six months. I did not check the date on the first batch but I assumed that was expired as well and resulted in the low ABV and yeast flavor.This second batch I ensured the y east was not expired and rehydrated it per the yeast instructions but still failed to ferment. I have pitched another yeast packet (from my 3rd kit) to see if this will finish fermentation before dumping it down the drain. If the additional yeast does work, I will need to order two more yeast packets and additional flavoring for the remaining kits. I have already purchased additional flavoring for the current batch, if it ever gets beyond sugar water stage. In closing, save your money, buy your wife’s hard seltzer elsewhere and continue brewing your exceptional beers like I wish to had. Good luck and happy home brewing. I would give zero stars if possible but the 1 star reviews don’t even appear. 🤷‍♂️

A wise choice

I allowed the fermentation process to take the full 4 weeks as recommended. The results however are delicious. I decided to keg my seltzer for more controlled carbonation. I’d highly recommend this if you have a bit of patience.

I have gone through 3 of theses kits with kids home from College due to COVID-19 DO NOT JUDGE! Great flavor, easy to make and recommend force carbonation via keg for best results. If sporty add an additional lb of corn sugar and one more 1.5 grams of yeast nutrient during primary on same sked. Should yield around a 6% abv. Just sayin
