Best Beer Brewing Kegs & Kegging
A love of good beer, and a desire the make the experience better. What makes your product special? After testing all the available options, we realized nobody had cracked the code on a pressurized growler that works. So we designed the uKeg: It’s easy to use, with an automatic regulator cap and integrated CO2, variable carbonation from zero (off) up to 15 psi, and a dispensing tap so you can easily pour beer without removing the cap. We've focused our deep engineering and design experience to produce a high quality product. With vacuum insulated 8/18 stainless steel, your beer stays deliciously cold all day. This makes the uKeg a great way to share your own homebrew or local favorites. The uKeg was designed with the core idea to savor your beer, sparkling wine, kombucha, cider, or any other carbonated beverage you enjoy, to the last drop and share it with friends wherever you escape to. The uKeg 128 keeps beer fresh and carbonated for 2 weeks.

This part of the unit now works properly as intended and no longer requires me to lean on it with all my might, it slides back and forth with normal pressure. In order to maintain a consistent level of carbonation one has to monitor the gauge after each pour. So just keep in mind, if you are seeking 5-10 psi and you just filled the keg, that the amount of turn on the CO2 bit doesn't need to be that much. Lastly, and this is sort of the thing that really made me question the QA of the company, was in February I was out of CO2. So just the other night when I got a chance to refill the growler for the first time since February I put a new CO2 cartridge in...it doesn't fit (picture attached). This, to me, is the most unacceptable part of the entire thing and solidifies my belief that the product is suffering from it's own poor quality checks."
"Really great quality."
"I have had beer in my uKeg for over a MONTH and it was as fresh as the day I had it filled. A little more pressure, and the more citrus notes your beer will have."
"I love this growler."
"With so many great microbreweries in my area, having a growler seemed like not just an intuitive choice but a practical one. There is a bit of a learning curve involved with getting the pressure right, but the end result is worth it -- now I have a gallon of the best seasonal IPA on tap... in my own fridge!"
"Not to mention I also backed this product almost 3 yrs ago on kickstarter and I still haven't received the product (the same product I just bought outright)."
"For a product that costs $200 I am very disappointed at the craftsmanship and will be returning this product immediately."

"Received these bottles individually placed in bubble envelopes and none were broken. The bottle was not to easy or to hard to open and has the right size to hold in your hand while drinking out of it."
"I use these bottles to brew my own kombucha and they are just perfect - the long necks allow for much better carbonation than you would get by reusing short-necked store-bought kombucha bottles, they are attractive bottles, and the wires and gaskets are high quality and sturdy."
"The bottles I did receive work alright and have been fermenting my kombucha just fine but buyer beware: you might not get all the bottles you ordered delivered in one piece."
"Latch is Perfect Seal is tight and I have even bounced one off the hardwood floor and it didn't break.. Well Made."
"I have bought these and the Teikis model of brewer bottles."
"OK so clear glass I thought the lids were rubber lock down, there kind of plastic and not the grip of rubber, and the locks are hard to fit on the top."
"But after three boxes (18 total) ordered, three bottles have been broken upon receipt."

"I prefer a straw to just drinking from the opening in the lid so I like them...the only issue I have is they are metal and swing back and forth in the lid opening with the excess space."
"I use it to drink tea from the 30 oz RTIC insulated steel tumblers, they fit great and the steel straws allow as much flow as I need."
"Very well made Extra Long Stainless Steel Drinking Straws, no seams nice finish, work perfectly with my Steel Peak 30 ounce tumbler."
"These straws are a great addition to any of the Tumblers on the market today."
"I bought them to pair with a couple 30oz tumblers I recently bought."

"I had to soak both the rubber straw and the steel one in hot water to make the rubber one to slide down the steel one."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"At this price point (and I paid extra for the copper plated version believing more care would be taken with a premium edition) this is unacceptable."
"I bought a bulk order of CO2 cartridges directly from Whip-It for significant savings so I am well stocked for quite some time for chargers."
"Good idea if you just want to keep your beer fresh for a couple days before you drink it all. The other was a regulated cap with a tap hose and a CO2 dispenser that you could manually inject gas with. And the entire thing can be disassembled, overhauled, reassembled by following a whole bunch of maintenance videos on their site. i've read all the negative reviews, and you can disregard them for several reasons: 1-Initial QC problems have now been resolved. 2-Follow the easy instructions, manual, and videos to avoid usage challenges."
"I have an early copper plated uKeg 64."
"My GROWLER will not stop leaking, and contacted growlerwerks and they will not respond or fix the problem."
"The brewery said they reluctantly 'just started filling them' apparently some places won't since it's technically not sealed. Read so money reviews and saw vids on how it leaked after the fact when we were trying to figure out what was wrong. Guess I shouldn't have based the majority of the buying decision on the customer rating."

"Bought this to do a long overdue upgrade from a 30qt (7.5gallon) and 45,000 BTU turkey fryer brewing setup - The Brinkman 815-4001-S Turkey Fryer to be exact."
"It is far superior to any others I have had and brings water to a hard boil quickly. Yes, it is a bit more expensive than some, but if you do this sort of cooking, you will be happy with the purchase."
"Great looking and high quality burner."
"I am very pleased with my Bru Burner.Great product Bravo and Thank You."
"Fantastic!"
"For the power it kicks out, it's still very quiet, which makes it nice to not have to yell over the roar of a burner."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I came to home brewing when I was bored and looked up hobbies I can take up, and slowly got more and more interested. For 50 dollars, you get a fermenter, bottles, two hopped malt extract, yeast, and no-rinse cleansing solution. Almost everything you need is included, minus a large pot (enough to hold 4 cups of water), metal spoon, can opener, and a silicone spatula. The instruction manual is not clear, but Mr. BEER has a Youtube video explaining step-by-step on how to sanitize, brew, and pitch the yeast. Mr. BEER also gives you daily email (if you register) on subjects like sanitizing, science behind yeast and fermentation, and other useful information. Then you boil 4 cups of water, add the hopped malt extract and stir until dissolved. Quality of the Ingredients/ Yeast. As I learn more about specialty hop, adding hops at different times, and other brewing techniques required for home crafted beer, I find that just pouring a liquid extract to boiling water is very limited and restrictive. Because how the lid is positioned, I do not believe a lot of oxygen gets in during the fermentation process, but the air notches are crude nonetheless. As I read more, and watch more videos, I am itching to get a standard kit (5 gallon carboy, siphon, airlocks, etc.). --------------------------------------------UPDATE 12/07/2014------------------------------------------------. Beer taste: Wow, so I brewed the Aztec Cerveza and I am enjoying a glass right now, watching the 49ers v Raiders game. I thought about getting a 5 gallon, standard kit, but I am going to stick with Mr. Beer (I have changed my mind). It is simplistic, takes minimum equipment, I can brew multiple batches at one time, and the end result is outstanding."
"The experience of making it was worth it."
"Everything was in kit as described, Very fast delivery."

"i am thankful for helpful customer service on mr. beer & also amazon."
"Pain in the ass to clean after beer was made, but he loved making his own beer and doesn't regret getting this."
"It helped me get motivated to start learning how to brew and change up styles of brew to do at home, and now because of the Mr. Beer - I have plans to branch out and start a major brew of 5 gallons this coming year with other Mr. Beer recipes they have on their website."
"Great little kit for the beginner."
