On my first order, I got both boosters. Why? I dunno... figured I needed all the help I could get.

Been successfully using a "Mr. Beer" since Christmas... upgrading process starts when my kit & mix arrives on Tuesday. Wish me luck.

Need for what? If your only intent is to get drunk, you'd be better off with the kool aid wine.

I have use this product and for sure you can not taste it but I did not get a 1% boost more like .75% but . . who cares. I wanted to try it.

On a side note it seems that most kits with extract could use this to help with the inefficiency of the extracts. I know many of my kits fro AHS do not get down to the foretasted FG and I use a starter so I do not think it's me!

There is something oddly appealing to Kool Aid wine. Gonna try it!

I used the boost for the first five batches from Austin and it noticeably was a bit higher, and in a few cases I think compromised the taste. I have two batches (a lager and hefe) I brewed w/o it and will compare. But the Hoegaarden clone was STRONG.

I am not going to use it again.

I only want my beers to be the way they are supposed to be. I want to drink and taste my beers for as long as I can and not kiss the floor before I need to.

It is not for everyone. The demand was overwelming so it exists.
