Deluxe Homebrewing Starter Kit
Embark on your homebrewing journey with the best home brewing kit in history. The Deluxe Brewing Starter Kit has been tested by our employees and trusted by our customers for the past 20 years. Customer feedback has made this Brewery in a Box what it is today – the staple of every brew cave from essential to exploratory.
We’ve built this all-inclusive home brew kit to be fun and foolproof with some of the most trusted instruction in homebrewing. Rest assured that no matter what your method of learning, your first homebrew is a guaranteed success.
Folks tend to become very passionate about homebrewing after a batch or two, but we’ve also seen a lot of new brewers fall in love even before embarking upon their first fermentation. For those of you who are already passionate about hand-crafted beer, like we are, here’s the Deluxe Brewing Starter Kit.
Contains:
- Your Choice of Recipe Kit
- 6 Gallon Glass Carboy (Primary Fermentor), Bung & Airlock
- 5 Gallon Glass Carboy (Secondary Fermentor), Bung & Airlock
- Blowoff Hose, Funnel & Fermagraf°
- Auto Siphon & Tubing
- Bottling Bucket & Spigot
- Spring Tip Bottle Filler & Tubing
- Bottle Capper & Caps
- Carboy Brush & Bottle Cleaning Brush
- Northern Brewer No-Rinse Cleanser & Carboy Dryer
Our Deluxe kit features a pair of large glass bottles, called carboys, as vessels in a two-stage fermentation process. The additional equipment and extra steps taken with the Deluxe Starter Kit reward the brewer with clearer, clean-tasting beer, as well as the ability to brew a wider range of styles as your confidence grows and sudsy repertoire expands!
Note: Testing the specific gravity of your batch with a hydrometer is the best way to keep tabs on fermentation and for us to help troubleshoot by text, online chat, or email. We highly recommend adding our Mad Brewer Testing Kit or Brewery Essentials Gravity Testing Kit.

HERE’S THE FUN PART!
Every starter kit comes complete with your choice of recipe kits. Just pick one of the three classic recipes below and you’ll have all the ingredients you need to take your new gear out for a test drive.
Caribou Slobber Brown Ale Your new favorite session beer. Dense layers of malt, caramel, baking chocolate, and a hint of light-roast coffee give way to reveal a hop character you’ll be surprised to find if you’re used to drinking English brown ale.
Fresh Squished IPA Dripping with vivid flavors, Fresh Squished is the beer equivalent of visiting your local fruit stand. Flavors and aromas of grapefruit, melon, berries, lime and passion fruit drizzle into a faint herbal, piney background. The sturdy malt foundation of sweet crystal malts and toasty Munich concedes to this indulgent use of Citra and Mosaic hops to achieve remarkable balance.
Irish Red Ale If you’re looking for a perfectly balanced, crowd-pleasing pint, you can’t go wrong with our Irish Red Ale. There’s a reason this kit is our best seller. Actually, three reasons: great, medium-bodied taste, rich coppery color and enticingly low aging requirements.
Bavarian Hefeweizen Brew up a batch of our Bavarian Hefeweizen, and you’ll feel the call of a traditional Bier Hall in every sip. This foolproof beer recipe kit yields a medium-bodied, malty and spicy brew, with a smooth mouthfeel and dense, whipped-cream head. A shining, hand-crafted example of Bavaria’s signature brew.
Required but not included: a 4 to 5-gallon kettle, approx. 50 empty 12oz beer bottles that accept pry-off caps. See our Homebrew Kit – Beer Bottles, Kettle, Digital Thermometer, and Spoon.
Optional Add-Ons
Brewery Essentials Gravity Testing Kit.
This bundle deal includes a triple scale hydrometer, a test jar, and a beer thief at a fraction of the price of buying each piece separately. While this testing kit is not a requirement for you to be able to make your first batch of homebrew, it will give you the ability to quickly and accurately measure the alcohol content of your beer.
Vital Brewing Equipment Cleaning Kit.
The Deluxe Starter Kit includes 8 oz. of cleaning powder for your new brewing equipment. But if you want to set yourself up for future brew days, we recommend adding on the optional cleaning kit. (Note* we cannot ship this product by air)
Additional Equipment Upgrades

2. The 8 Gallon Undrilled Brew Kettle and Burner Kit. Take your brewing outside of the kitchen.
3. The almighty Brewhouse Ignition Pack. This kit will give you the most bang for your buck. It includes the 8-Gallon MegaPot Kettle, the Dark Star Burner, AND a Copperhead immersion wort chiller! Save $25 by buying this kit!
