As a person who knows nothing about beer other than it's damn tasty, this is awesome. I also happened to go to the launch party (friend of a friend) and they walked me through the booklet, the kit, everything in maybe 5 minutes. I felt like a beer expert and I ended up signing up for one as well. It'll be interesting to see how easy this is for my challenged self once it's all in house. Sam, will you be offering any…

Yes, we absolutely will be. The basic "how do i buy?" FAQ is up already, and we'll be adding live chat and brew debugging in the next week or so. But seriously, we designed the product to be accessible to total newbies. You won't have any problems :).

I LOVE this. Are you going to add a 5 gallon option? Since I've been brewing for a few years, 1 gallon seems sort of pointless.

We will be adding 5 gallons in the coming months. Think of 1 gallon as a test batch--if you brew at scale, try out new ideas and techniques with 1 gallon batches.

I guess it's time for me to upgrade to an all-grain setup. It would be nice if you could choose between all-grain or extract kits for your subscription, though.

We do Brew In A Bag, which is about as simple as all-grain gets. It's a one-vessel brew setup, just like extract. If you're moving from extract to AG, I'd definitely suggest Brew In A Bag as a stepping-stone.

Awesome! I will definitely be considering this
