Remember when cellphones were kind of unique, back in the '80s? Now everybody has one. Home brewing is becoming that. It's everywhere.

$42 for a one gallon kit. So my 10 gallon batches would run me $420..a tad more than I'm paying now. BUT I could split it into " four easy payments" for my convenience

Does it include the kettle and the glass fermenter? And what else?
Looks to me like the kind of thing someone buys someone else as a present when they can't figure out what else to get them.
Looks like a commercial for like a Ronco "Beer-O-Matic" or something. Just set it and forget it!
Homebrewing was buoyed significantly by the displays of Mr Beer kits in the box stores. Kits like that are certainly not new. In fact, this forum always saw a surge right after christmas due to sales of them.
But there's no doubt that homebrewing is in a decline as a craft brewery pops i[ in every small town in America. Homebrewing reached its pinnacle during prohibition. So you can see the connection between the availability of good beer and the hobby.

Looking at a link it looks like it comes with a one gallon carboy, stopper and airlock for $42.. Take away those and its about $30 for a one gallon recipe kit...total ripoff
OT, or maybe OnT, I'm old enough to remember when that episode first aired. No wonder those AARP people are blowing up my mailbox.
