All of these kits have equipment / supplies and recipe ingredients for making beer so that you will have what you need on brew day. If there is something that isn’t included, that is required, I have made note of it in the description of each kit. Please note that some of the less expensive kits may not have as many items in them as the more expensive kits and I will do my best to point out the differences. These are in order of price (lowest to highest).
