You should get this. Itd be cheaper than the stuff you pay for especially in the long run. Just a little bit of work to get a little over a liter of beer a day and if you get as many kits as what you would spend in a month you should be able to get enough kits for making a new batch of beer every week. With a little extra over the long run you could probably cut your cost by half if you try hard enough.
In the USA it looks like the cost of the equivalent of 10 liters would be about 10-25USD. It's probably going to be twice as much in australia looking at the costs of the components and how much is priced there. But the cost of 10 liters is anywhere from half to three quarters the cost of 9 liters.

Just searching up the first set and the instore price is usually lower.
Hello world.
When I don't know what to get someone, I usually go over to mysubscriptionaddiction.com and find a nice monthly subscription box they'd like. There are monthly beer clubs, to fancy foods, and the infamous dollar shave club.
As for something on amazon, me and my boyfriend loved the Mr. Beer Kit. Me and my gal friend each got our boyfriends one of these for Christmas, and we all took a day out to brew beer together. The best part is making custom, inside joke labels with these clear label wraps and then sharing them with friends. Health/Mana Potion and Molotov Cocktail labels are always good for game night.
If beer isn't your thing, there's a wine version and a [cider version](http://amzn.com/B00I5R7MR4
). And if you're living sober, then I'm an ass and enjoy your anniversary! Congratulations. :)
I brewed my first batch this weekend! I used the Mr. Beer brewing system for simplicity and because I want to make small batches (2 gallon) with the least mess possible. (We've all gotta start somewhere!)
I've read that the included beers aren't much to speak about, but I wanted to get the process down. I look forward to using this subreddit for help as I work my way up to better and more complicated brews!
The book How to Brew it's a great place to start doing some research. It's like the home brewer's Bible. There are also a lot of free resources online like discussion boards and how-to guides.
When you're ready to purchase a kit, [Northern Brewer] (http://www.northernbrewer.com/) and Midwest Supplies are both great retailers. I would recommend signing up for their mailing lists as they will often have starter kits on sale.
I would recommend staying away from the cheaper Mr. Beer kits. It can be a cheaper, easier option but it's like the easy-bake oven version of homebrewing. You'll make beer, sure, but you won't learn as much using these kits and there's little room for customization/upgrading if you decide to get more into it.
On Black Friday, both retailers that I mentioned always have starter kits on sale. I've gotten brewing equipment and 2 recipe kits for less than $100. That's enough to make roughly 100 bottles of beer for less than $1/bottle. You don't have to buy bottles, just save used ones, (no screw-offs) rinse them out, and you'll be able to fill and re-cap them.
Finally, when brewing, sanitize everything. The quickest way to ruin a batch of beer is improper sanitation.
Cheers.
To get you started
Hey there! I'm a beer-lover myself . . . and I've been enjoying homebrewing, which is very rewarding!
If you're interested in a more formal approach to beer tasting, you may want to add _Tasting Beer_ to your wishlist! I just finished reading it myself. It goes into much greater depth than I'll ever really experience, but it gives you a deep perspective on what the most serious beer-geeks and beer-snobs are doing when they take a sip, and it has seriously improved my own appreciation of the ancient beverage.
Also, if you're genuinely interested in homebrewing, in addition to the relatively affordable Mr. Beer (I haven't brewed with it, but I've tasted several people's results with it, and they've been consistently good) you may want to watch for the Groupon deal from Midwest Supplies. It's inactive now, but they do seem to keep bringing it back, and it's a very good deal for getting starting homebrew equipment.
Finally, I saw your discussion with AllOfTimeAndSpace about IPAs, and although I see it's not your favorite style, I thought I might recommend an IPA I tried recently that I thought was spectacularly good: Lawson's Double Sunshine IPA. I imagine it's hard to get outside of Vermont (though I'd be thrilled if I'm wrong, since I don't live there and just had it during a vacation), but it is one of the most delicious beers I've ever tried!
There's definitely more snobbery among wine lovers, but beer is easily as complex, varied, and interesting! Good beer goes great with all sorts of good food, and it's just as rewarding. Glad you're finding so much pleasure in it!

Haha! I see (having now actually looked at your wish list) that you have my two suggestions on it already. Good show!
ungrinch!
What about something like a Home Brewing Craft Beer Kit? Sounds like something fun you'd both enjoy doing together!
As for contest worthy... Ummmm, I assembled my own Halloween costume (late, I know, but I wasn't active on RAoA until recently! :( ) this year and am pretty proud of how it turned out/how all the pieces came together. n_n
Oh my Zazzle! Thanks for the contest! <3
Now that he's graduated... maybe time for a new hobby, like homebrewery? Congrats to him, by the way!
I'd love some artwork... a bit overwhelmed by the bazillion choices, but so far, I love this!
50$ isn't too bad of a budget! There have been times when I was extremely financially strapped that I had 50$ to spend on ALL of my christmas gifts together (talking parents, sibling, bf, in-laws, aunts, uncle, bff) - and everyone liked what they got. Just don't worry about the price tag, go for the value! :)
One thing that popped to my mind when you mentioned that he's into eating and drinking (ice cold water in 100°+), is a beer brewing kit.
Here's one with great reviews for $29. And [here's another one for $50.] (https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Beer-Premium-Homebrewing-Making/dp/B001BCFUBU)
I'd take the cheaper one, given the reviews. It will make for a great memory (aka value) and you could add something smaller with it (e.g. voucher groceries for a BBQ/Burger/Steak night, to be used once the beer is ready).
If you think he's not going to like that, let me know, and I'll try to think of something else! :)
Thank you for your response.
How do you feel the linked kit compares to the following kit from amazon? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BCFUBU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
beer, technology and science all in one kit!
If you're worried about wasting a significant investment, get one of the cheaper kits at Amazon, seems like a good way to test the water/beer.

Just take the extra from the ten dollar contest prize if I'm chosen :)
$20-$50 Mr. BEER! Who doesn't want to try their hand at it?
$10-$20 Stanley Camping Cook Set Being able to cook on the go is nice!
$5-$10 Mimosa Pudica Touch Sensitive plant that pretends to die when touched, HOW COOL IS THAT?!
$0-$5 Rose Kissed Jasmine Tea You need to be able to unwind with something after playing with all the new toys, right?
OP never said anything along those lines, so how about being less of a dick, hmmm?
and you can't buy whole beer, but you can buy a homebrew kit
I'm in love with my husband! And, I imagine that he'd love this beer making kit.
I like beer and all, but he loves it. So much so, he was once cold called for some sort of phone survey and he actually endured one hour of talking about beer. He even pondered all his answers and let them know what beer he though was most "Cosmo."
I was doing other things at the time, but when I realized he was still doing it, I stared in fascination. Finally, when he got off the phone, I asked, "why the hell did you spend so long doing that?!"
He said simply, "I like beer, and I want to give my opinion about it!" He'd jump at the chance to make his own beer.
What about a homebrew kit? Or does he have that already?

you can do the same with beer
Don Draper that shit:
Or they can make their own beer...like ..men?
Beer kits like this are quite commonplace here, but I'm not sure if they are sold in sg. I know someone who brews his own beer all the time, and he's not rich, so it must not be expensive. haha
So reading through the comments, you don't want to give up on beer. Fair enough, we've all got a poison, right? I'd suggest home-brewing. Because the kit is at first, quite expensive - I got a kit that included a keg, sterilisation pills, tubes/equipment and a beer kit for about £70. It's everything you need to start home-brewing. So the upfront cost is expensive. Then I found I could brew roughly 40 pints of beer from a single £12-£15 beer kit. So instead of $2 for 500ml can, you're having $0.65 per 568ml. Plus the satisfaction you made it yourself, and of course you can change up the recipe (different sugars used etc) every batch.
If you can put a few dollars aside from your beer fund for the next few months, buy a kit and have a great time brewing. You can also use old beer bottles to bottle the new beer!
Just found this beer making kit on Amazon for $52.99, less than your monthly beer fund. Worth a shot!
Yeah there are tons of other ones. Was just the first one I found. There is This one but it is like 50 bucks and wasn't sure if you would want to spend that much on it.
I making my stepdad some spicy chili and getting him a six pack of beer. Also got him a brew kit and a nice book. I dunno if this helps
Beer making kit ?
Beer making kit It will take a little investment of time at first, but will become beneficial later.
>True, but distill liquor in your own home and see what happens.

I sue Amazon for selling an illegal product?
Start with a Mr. Beer kit. Do 3-4 batches, if you like it, then get yourself set up for LME brewing. If you do 5-6 batches of that and still want to brew, then look into all-grain.
Or the classic
