Northern Brewer has a lot of good things on their shelves (as far as I know!).
FDA plastic buckets can be customized with our logo too.
Bottles should be a snap.
That tubing looks standard.
We might think about doing special caps for the kits, but that seems kinda pointless. Maybe a stock color range so they can select there own.
Here is a list of what comes in a standard kit.
- Six gallon fermenting bucket with lid
- Six gallon bottling bucket with spigot
- Fermentation lock
- Siphon tubing
- Bottle filler
- Bottle brush
- AutoSiphon
- Bottle capper
- 144 bottle caps
- Hydrometer
- 8 oz. One-Step Sanitizer
- Complete instructions
NEEDED BUT NOT INCLUDED:
- Ingredients - try one of our beer kits
- A Brew Kettle - any pot 2.5 gallons or greater
- Empty Bottles - 48 to 52 pry-off 12-ounce beer bottles.
Rob- is Victor's kinda expensive or is their price point average?

As far as this kit goes, there are alot of things listed that really aren't "have to have" items. I would suggest offering a basic and an advanced kit. Instead of instructions, we may want to consider having a copy of The Joy of Homebrewing book in the kit.
ReplyDeleteThe fermenting bucket can double as the bottling bucket, but we would want to offer a glass carboy for secondary fermentation.
The bottling brush isn't necessary, but they are not expensive, so including it isn't much of an issue.
I believe the fermentation lock also needs a rubber bung.
I forgot to mention, the bottle caps are an interesting issue. There are not many manufacturers, so we won't be able to be too picky with what we can carry on hand. Standard colors I've seen are red, green, silver, blue, gold (oxygen caps), and 'Merican colored ones.
