I own all the normal beer making equipment and I will never use it again. The EZ Caps method is so much quicker, easier, and reliable. I like that each 2-liter bottle is a perfect "pitcher" of beer. I tried the Beer Machine and Mr. Beer. Both made good beer but the cost of the beer kits was prohibitive, not to mention the Beer Machine used a lot of expensive parts that frequently break and need replacement immediately after the warranty expires. I also didn't like that they have "regular" beer kits and "premium" (more expensive) beer kits. Shouldn't *all* beer be premium? If I want lousy cheap beer I'll buy a 12-pack.
I have to go to LA this week and whenI get back the final test batch should be done and the first of a series of ingredient shipments should be here. Hopefully I'll be able to ship out some pre-release beer kits to members of this forum next weekend. For the last several months I've been experimenting with different ingredients and yeast strains and I've narrowed it down to the final two strains of yeast. Let me tell you how difficult these months have been having 16 two-liter bottles of beer brewing at any given time requiring taste tests every few days as the beers became ready to drink.
During pre-release I will continue to tinker with the recipes using user feedback. There are dozens of hop strains that beg to be EZ Capped and different varieties of beer that need to be tried.
