They are what they are. Its what I started out with before moving on to making up my own extract recipes and eventually all grain. Since I cant make an all grain dark beer to save my life I figured I'd try these and see how they turn out.Those BB kits are what I started with, the porter is pretty darn good. My two extract brewing neighbors still use the kits with good results.

What's the problem with AG darks? IMHO they are more forgiving than light. My first AG was Jamil's Robust Porter recipe. It was awesome....Since I cant make an all grain dark beer to save my life I figured I'd try these and see how they turn out.

what are these kits comprised of? I take it they are a big step up from Mr. Beer?I was in the liquor store today (they have a small homebrew and winemaking section) and noticed the Brewers Best kits were totally revamped. They added a few different styles and the kits that were supposed to be lager-like (lager kits packed with ale yeast) now are packed with Saflager yeast. So I picked up a porter kit (they also had smoked porter) and a Black Lager kit to try them out. Should be fun to get back to what I started with ad see how they turn out...

They are just the basic extract beer kits, usually come with DME, LME or both. Steeping grains if needed, hop pellets and yeast. Also included are bottle caps and priming sugar. Everything is pre-measured so all you have to do is read the recipe and follow the time schedules. Linkywhat are these kits comprised of? I take it they are a big step up from Mr. Beer?
