Review on ๐Ÿบ Mr. Beer Homebrewing 2 Gallon Deluxe Beer Bottling System with 0.5-Liter Bottles: Complete Your Brewing Experience! by Andrea Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for the beginner brewer

Exactly as described and arrived quickly. Bought these to go with the Mr. Beer I was given. I had never brewed at home before and had no idea what I was doing. One of the upgrade suggestions I received for using these special bottles is to not damage the sealing tape on the caps while sanitizing them before bottling the beer. It's easy to make and a real upgrade if you're sharing your beer with someone. People are so attuned to opening these bottles and hearing/feeling the "click" of the seal that when it's not there, they inspect the bottle and look questioning before drinking it. This is a minor thing, but it's worth avoiding to improve the experience. Replacement lids are really inexpensive for future broth. Please note that these bottles are 24 ounces (2 regular/standard size beers). Also, the bottles are plastic. Although I prefer glass, plastic bottles offer an opportunity to "squeeze test" - a great way for novice brewers to ensure good carbonation. I hope to switch to glass bottling in the future. Adding custom labels and filling homemade wooden crates with my gift beer. New fun hobby for me. These fully reusable plastic bottles should be good for learning the craft better before I move on.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
