    Hi all, since I found out I'm getting the Beer Machine 2000 home brew kit for Christmas I've been reading all the back-threads here on home brewing - I'm so excited about getting cracking with it! I think it was bought in Avoca shop on Nassau St.

    Have any of the experienced home brewers heard of it? If so, what's it like? I note it doesn't commit what seems to be the cardinal sin of expecting you to dump in tonnes of sugar. Although am a bit dubious about the 'beer in 7-10 days' claim.

    Comments welcome!

    They were selling these in dunnes for €140 with a kit!, the refills were €40 and you got 20pints!, it is cheaper to buy it in a off-licence.

    You can drink it in 7 days but it will be better if left to mature. Leave it out in the shed in this cold weather and it will be far better after 1 month. You should be able to use regular kits with it rather than their overpriced specific kits. You will probably want to upgrade after using it a few times. it is only 20pints after all. They are meant to work ok though.

    Im not sure on the prices but a uncle of hers works in Dunnes and he was saying the pints out of those things end up costing about 75 cent each.

    It looks like a good startup into homebrewing.
    And, even if you progress onto different kits/methods it's still a handy 2Gallon container to barrel your home brew, that will fit nicely into the fridge, with a handy serving tap. If you started brewing 5gallon batches, you could bottle half and barrel half, or buy another one.

    I bought a Beer Machine 2000. Everything seems in order however when I do the pressure test bubbles do not appear in the PVC, should the bubbles appear at a fast rate or very very slow rate??

    Thanks for your help
