United StatesThis is the way
The whole home brewing process was so intimidating to me that despite my love of beer and cooking I never tried it. The Beginner Bundle made the whole thing easy - with great documentation about how to set it up, what each piece does and how, and step by step instructions to keep me out of trouble. I've done 3 brews so far (all Spike's recipe kit brews) and my friends are actually drinking my beer! The equipment is incredibly well made and looks great in my home. I'm really glad I started with the Beginner Bundle I don't think I'd still be brewing if I tried to put it all together myself.
United StatesExcellent Setup for a REAL Home Brew Experience
Brewing my own beer was always something that I wanted to do, but was honestly unsure where to even start. The Spike Brewing Beginners Bundle was the system that changed that for me. The build quality is excellent, to the point where it looks and feels like a professional setup. I had a few friends who are experienced home brewers come help me with my first batch, and they were so impressed with the setup that they asked to borrow it for their next brew! The instructions were great, and their recipe kits are not only great but also perfect for someone who is still learning the process and not yet comfortable to venture into their own recipes. Without a doubt, I will be brewing for many years to come!
United StatesThis recipe was a grand slam
THE RECIPE WAS SO GOOD THAT IT LITERALLY SURPASSED THE BEER. I NORMALLY DRINK. MUCH RICHER AND STRONGER.
Easy to Use
It's literally never been easier to start brewing your own beer! Whether you're brewing in your backyard, apartment, garage or basement, the Spike Beginner Bundle is the best way to go from average joe, to pro.
Recipe Kit
Beer is made up of four main ingredients, and the NEW Spike Recipe Kits include 3 of those—grain, hops and yeast. Choose from one, two or all four! Spoiler alert: You'll need to grab your own water.
It's Electric
There's two main ways to heat your brewing system—gas or electric. It's the difference between Fred Flintstone and Elon Musk. Electric brewing is safer (there isn't a hot flame flickering about) and offers more control. With the touch of a button or the flip of a switch, you can control everything.
Fermentation
Fermentation is the most important step in brewing. So we wanted to set you up with the industry-leading, perfect for intro brewers, most "Flex-ible" fermenter there is! The Flex is stainless steel, easy to use and will last a lifetime.
