I was in Germany in the early 80's. Is this anything close to being true German beer? Do you drink at room temp or do you need to chill the beer?

The Beer is almost as tasty as German beer. Of course there ist no chance to brew beer like there real German by yourself. I like it the most chilled.

To be honest, my son hasn't been able to use it as we don't have the brewing pot and other items my son needs first. I would think this would have to be chilled though, sorry I can't be more helpful but since its not really a complete kit like I thought it was, it just sits in the closet until we can get everything else he needs.

I just came back from Germany and can say that it is comparable to a pils and can be at room temp to drink.

agree with beerfest answers.susanne you can make the temps vary by reading previous post

Hard to tell since I usually don't let beer have much chance to get old around my house! The seal though is great. Even after you crack it, you have several days to finish before things go flat.

It can be similar but it is unlikely you would think it is the same beer. Since you would be fermenting and bottling this beer yourself, you will not have the same results as a professional commercial brewery with precision temperature control and sanitary conditions. You might make something drinkable that you like to drink though.

You might be careful with that. This cooler needs fresh air and not enclosed within a cabinet. You will also require some kind of blower to keep the beer line cold on your extension, otherwise your first couple of beers after it sits will be primarely foam.

Homebrewing, I've kept 165º liquid in it for an hour, dropping to about 158º by the end. Higher temperatures will definitely cool off faster, but you should have a reasonable amount of time where it will mix well.

It's Almost as Good as Fresh brewed!,(no sweetners or anything added! :)I hope this help.

Sorry, I don't know, I usually don't keep it long enough to have it expire as fresh and drinkable. In my humble opinion, Hires is the best and only root beer I buy and unfortunately it isn't sold at any store near me. Amazon is the best place and shipping is usually free, to get it. RC

Hey Jim, l live by and love this product. The best, all natural, great consistency from first sip to last. Just DO NOT refrigerate it, I keep mine, room temp like 69-70f ( 8 months and still no change)right next to my Soda Stream. Just keep the bottleneck and cap rim clean of the syurpy goodness :-). (a bit of warm water on a towel the. just quick wipe the top area.) Hope this helps. Enjoy! J.R.

It'll get warm fast, best used with bourbon. Wouldn't suite beer but is great for bourbon and just adding to a glass of diet coke, lasts longer that way too

In my opinion this was not a hoppy beer. This beer was simply delightful and I made a second batch. The kit was easy to use. I made the second batch from their Recipe book. You can always use less hops because the hops are in separate envelop.

Well, no. This is the milled malt mixture, dry yeast packet and hop pellets. You will need your brewing equipment, plus water and maple syrup. I recommend grade B syrup as it will give you more flavor, grade A tends to get converted more completely by yeast leaving you with more alcohol and less maple goodness.That being said, give this a try if your ambient temp is in the low 70 degree range. Most people who tried the beer I made from this kit were impressed! I'm tweaking it and making a larger 5 gal batch this fall.

This is not used for fermentation. That requires a sealed container with a vent. Even with a fermenter you should prime your beer prior to bottling.

Primary firmentation is done in 14 days. I have done this. On the 14th day It will be beer but will taste like monkey sweat. Bottle your beer and let it age a month or two then drink em.

Try to keep the temperature around 72*. If cooler, ferment will take a bit longer. We leave to ferment 4-7 days. We love the sauerkraut that I make. I was uncertain at first about what I was doing but kept trying until I got it just the way I like. Sometimes I add other veggies like thin sliced carrots, kale etc. I make a lot of my sauerkraut into a kraut salad. Very yummy.

yes. the beer is to enhance moisture content ... try apple juice with a bit of liquid smoke in it.
