Just made my first batch today. I was looking at the kits on this site for my second batch. They look very reasonably priced. Does anyone have any experience with them? I was looking at the clone brews, how are they? also if I order today will I have for Saturday? And are the indgrediants ok to ship? Thanks

I've used them several times and have been very happy with the quality of the kits and the directions which come with them.

If by Austin Brewing you are referring to Austin Homebrew Supply, then yes I would say that a few of us have bought stuff from there.

As for me, I would say that 8 out of my 10 orders are made through AHS.

Very good company, very good customer service, just real good all the way around. Highly recommended.

AHS's kits are very good.

I'm sure other places have great kits as well, but since I live in Dallas they are the quickest to ship to me and I have been very happy with the products and service.

I think AHS has the best web site in the home brewing industry. Well organized with detailed explanations of the items. It sure makes it easy to find what you want or explore new hardware. As for the kits, I have found every one of them to be complete, and the instructions are excellent. Some I have brewed didn't turn out exactly as I expected, but that is probably more my fault than theirs. I have ordered a lot of kits from them in the last year.

If I am ordering liquid yeast I always try to order on Sunday evening. That way I get it usually by Wednesday but definitely by Thursday. I don't want my yeast sitting on the UPS truck over the weekend in July or August. In northern climates you might worry about January.

I posted a similar thread about AHS, didn't see this one, sorry.

I had a couple questions though:

It was my 2nd solo brew. It was an AHS Spiced American Wheat kit. Everything went ok for the most part but I had a few questions.

1. The kit came with a large mesh bag that the directions didn't reference, any idea what this is? Not a meslin bag.

2. The kit came with a 14 oz. Alcohol Boost which was added at boil. Does this affect my OG? Mine was slightly higher than the kit OG.

3. I used the yeast fuel that also came with the kit. Is this necessary? First solo brew fermented just fine without.

I am not worried about the outcome of the beer, just more curious as to the nature of the questions. I want to know and understand what each addition does and how it affects the reading and the beer, hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any input. Thank you!
