“I strived to create a brewing kit that will make outstanding craft beer right out of the box. It was designed to turn beer lovers into beer brewers and to have my customers make the best possible beer in their own kitchen on their first attempt. When I first wanted to try brewing beer at home, I was in college and couldn’t afford to spend a lot on a typical beer brewing kit. As a lover of high quality beer, I cringed at the thought of making beer with the poor quality products offered by the lower cost beer kits sold in department stores. I knew I could do better and so I set out to create a home brewing kit that was affordable and focused on fresh, quality ingredients to make the best possible beer at home. I began learning all I could about brewing unique, complex beer at home with a larger kit brewing kit. After 2 years of home brewing I scaled down the process and looked for the best possible recipes I could find and started relentlessly testing multiple batches. After 6 months of testing and refining, Craft a Brew LLC was born. We use only high quality, fresh ingredients and the same basic processes that award winning home brewers and professional craft brewers use, at a price that is accessible to just about any craft beer drinker."
