If we have spent the time and test batches to come up with a clone, I would hope someone would at least buy it from us once. The website lists the ingredients so you can decide to buy it or not. Once you buy the kit you get the complete recipe. Then you can buy the ingredients anywhere. Once you buy a kit from us you will understand why everyone recommends our kits.

I am sure you understand.

I have to say as far as your clones go they cannot be beat. Recently a friend bought clones of magic hat no9 and blue moon, and compared them with the same clones from his local HBS and your's head's and shoulder threw them a beat down. I'm getting the no9 clone and sam adams summer from you in the next few weeks.

As far as non-clones I have yet to see anyone beat morebeer.com prices there kits are cheaper and shipping is free when you buy 2 kits. I have 2 of there kits fermenting now.

I have had nothing but great experiences brewing with MW's extract kits. I have to admit I haven't tried kits from any other source. I recently ordered a list of ingredients from AHS for an Alpha King clone, and the order ended up being pretty pricey when compared to the kits I've ordered. My last order of 3 kits from MW ended up averaging $43 a kit, delivered. The ingredients I ordered from AHS cost $61, delivered, a not inconsiderable difference. I will have to shop & brew a few AHS kits, and then compare.

i've been ordering kits from MoreBeer and Northern Brewer. Both have been great, MoreBeer is close (California to Vegas) but I like the quality of Northern Brewer. Their kits come in a well labeled box, where morebeer comes in a bag.

They both taste great though, that's what really matters.
