Cool New Product: The Big and Easy

The Big and Easy is a very cheap and fun introduction to home brewing. It consists of a two liter bottle of unfermented beer (wort). All it takes is a twist of the cap to release the yeast capsule and the fermentation process starts. Wait about 10 days, chill, then drink! This makes for a very unique and cool gift because literally anyone can brew their own beer with a couple of minutes of effort.

The benefits of the Big & Easy are:

• Perfect beer every time
• No cleaning, mixing or transferring.
• No cleaning bottles, just recycle it.
• Fast, fun, and easy.
• Good value (about the same volume as a 6 pack).

The Homebrew Exchange carries two styles: Premium Pilsner and Red Lager.

Today we tried the Red Lager at a friends house and it was remarkably good. The yeast fermented very cleanly, settling to the bottom of the container. The beer poured clear and sparkling with just the right amount of carbonation. Malt and hop flavors were well balanced. All and all, the end product was a fresh and drinkable beer.

We sell the Big and Easy for well under $10 including a gift bag--a very fun gift for anyone who likes beer.
