I buy most of my brewing gear and about half of my beer kits from them. They are a great company and if something is wrong or missing they take care of it right away. Their Brew masters are really helpful about brewing tips. And no I don't get paid or anything for posting these. I just really like them and want to spread the joy !Thanks kindly for posting this.
I decided to spring for the IPAs and the pale ale since I've been wanting to get back into US ales after a long time spent ignoring them.
I haven't used a kit since kits were a can with some stuff taped on top, but NBs ingredients and recipes look nice.
I'm going to have fun with these. Thanks again, sir!
You are spreading a little brewing joy ! Always welcome !!!!In my email today... Beer Kit Sale sorry a duplicate.View attachment 728901
I buy about half of my stuff from them as well. I'm within next day shipping and always had solid experiences as well. I've only bought one all grain kit (a 3G biab kit. I wish they still carried them. It was always a super easy way to ensure free shipping haha) from them though, and I've got a question. Do the grains come mixed together or bagged separately? While I can brew 5G batches, I tend to prefer half sized.I buy most of my brewing gear and about half of my beer kits from them.

The grains in the kits do come mixed but of course you can buy them separately crushed or un crushed. If you like a particular kit but want to scale it down just don't buy the kit. Read the grains and amount being used in that kit and order those grains in a lesser amount. I've done that when I just wanted 2.5 gallons. Or you can order the kit and just use half the grains.I buy about half of my stuff from them as well. I'm within next day shipping and always had solid experiences as well.

No but goes to figure..double kits will be 10 gallons. I've ordered kits and just used half of the kit for 2.5 gallon batches so going the opposite way is just as good I'm sure. I have a 5 gal and 3 gal keg so I make 5 and 3 gallon. For 3 gallon batches I just use half a kit and scale it up from 2.5 by adding extra grains from the LHBS. 2 kits to make 10 gal batches will probably work out fine. I do tend to use their kits as a base and add more grains/specialty grains depending on what I'm trying to achieve. But their grains always arrive fresh and nicely crushed.So I brew 10 gallon batches. Has anyone ever bought 2 of their 5 gallon kits and brewed them together for a 10 gallon batch? Is there any reason not to try this?
Sorry to hear that. It was probably over by the time you tried. Sometimes the codes work for a few days, sometimes only 1 day. Just keep your eyes peeled on the Northern Brewer site. They give codes out on a regular basis.Kegging equipment code DRAFT did not work for me.
Let them know. I've never had any problems with customer service if something wasn't right.If you guys are buying the all-grain kits, be sure to weigh the grist they send you. I'm doing the Dead Ringer kit today which should consist of 11lbs of 2-row and a pound of C40. I weighed the grist and it came in at 11lbs, 4oz. I confirmed the calibration on my scale, still 11lbs, 4oz. Not a huge deal, I made up the deficit from my base malt stocks.
Me too, but not retired yet. I can figure it out. LOLDidn't really think to do that. I'm not the most computer savvy person . Retired old fart. I thought folks could just copy down the code and then head on over to Northern Brewer website.
They are really good about taking care of mistakes.They're sending me a new kit Tuesday! I was going to go the Squished Dead ringer route but decided to just do the summer squeeze shandy instead.
