I'm interested in reviews of these kits too. I posted a thread about this, and nobody responded with other than the "If it's AHS, it must be good" which I agree with, but I'd still like some experienced reviews.

I bought a Cream Ale and a German Hefe. I havent tried either of them yet but there are a few things to note...

First, the yeast is dry (obviously) meaning for certain beers (like the hefe) you're not going to have a true hefe because you're not using hefe yeast, just plain wheat beer yeast. SO in the end I'm getting a "German" wheat beer. The yeast for the Cream Ale was some REAL basic Coopers yeast. Dont know anything about it like what style or anything because all it said was "COOPERS" and had a date stamped on it...

The only other thing I questioned was the instructions. They have you put the malto-dextrin and the corn sugar\DME blend then start the boil. Then they say at flame out add the 6lbs or so of DME. I understand the late malt addition but I thought the DME needed time to boil to sanitize. So I added mine with 20min left.

Other than that they were pretty basic Austin extract kits.
