Brad’s Notes:

“Hard seltzer waters are all the rage these days, so why not ride the wave? This kit is a very simple and straightforward fermentation consisting only of dextrose (corn sugar). The resulting product is boozy water, coming in right at about 5.5% ABV and is then flavored with all-natural crystallized orange powder.

To ensure the best results with this kit, be sure to follow the directions and add the yeast nutrient packets according to the schedule described. Adding yeast nutrients in staggered additions ensures that the yeast remain happy and healthy and will avoid any off-flavors that stressed out yeast can generate.

The fermentation will be complete within 2 weeks or so, but be sure to leave this batch sit for a few additional weeks to allow the yeast to drop out of solution and leave behind a clear beverage.

We have also included more flavoring than needed, so you can decide how intense to make the flavor - add a little at a time and taste until you are happy with the flavor level.”

A tasty kit, but do some research to get the details right

I love the simplicity of the northern brewer kits and the quality of every batch I’ve brewed so far has been top notch.

Upon doing some research, though, there are a lot of details that make brewing a hard seltzer a bit trickier than a standard batch of beer, especially with regards to clarity and keeping the yeast healthy. I added some gelatin at the end of my fermentation to help it clear up, which worked reasonably well but the end result still wasn’t crystal clear (didn’t bug me but just an FYI!).

Also if you want it to be really carbonated bottle conditioning for carbonation doesn’t really do the trick. Kegging it up and really getting the bubbles going will def give a more “authentic” white claw experience.

TLDR, the kit is good, but if you just follow the included instructions without your own research you might end up with a disappointing result.

Great purchase

Easy-to-follow directions with a satisfying end product.

Easy, refreshing summer recipe

The kit was great. Instructions were flawless, as usual.

Recommend using the whole package of orange flavoring.

Good

I thought it brewed up really well. In the end clear, good carbonation and nice, light orange taste. This was an experiment for my wife. Her only other comment was that she prefers a more sugary drink.
