“Beer machine disaster”
Written on: 10/09/2012 by paladine
I wanted so much to love my beer machine it looks great and it was simple to start producing what turned out to be a disgusting pond coloured brown water with an odd beer like taste. The beer just wont clear I would suggest 4 can bought from the Tesco own brand range would taste better and be cheaper per pint (read more)
“Waste of cash”
Written on: 18/04/2012
The positive reviews on this site are obviously from the company masquerading as customers. It's a complete waste of money. 4 brews, 4 lots of beer down the drain. i'm ebaying mine. what a waste. The beer is cloudy despite meticulous sterilisation. You ae much cheaper getting proper homebrew gear. I feel sorry for my wife who genuinly thought she was buying a quality product. (read more)
“This product is a waste of money”
Written on: 03/03/2012
I'd give this product no stars. it's hard to assemble, it tends to leak, the pressure is always nil, the gas cylinders (bulbs) are impossible to change and the service you get if you complain is non-existent Do not waste your money on it!! (read more)

No, this is a waste of your hard-earned cash. The beer doesn't taste all that great and it's just some kind of mixture that you pour in instead of real hops and malt. It's embarrassing to meet people who know what real beer tastes like and offer them a glass of this junk. They laugh and think you have been had. Which you have!!!! Don't buy it!!!!! Please don't buy this piece of garbage!!!!! (read more)

Written on: 16/09/2010 by Chuckred99 (1 review written)
Have used the beer machine for 3 years now. Beer is OK not as good as Real Pub beer or bottles but better than cans. Need to tighten things up when brought and make sure it does not leak before you put 1st brew in. I am able to do 5 / 6 brews a year (in 2 brew machines) before storing over winter. Do not need to clean out between brews. Had no problem with cloudy beer but tend to get through gas cylinders fast - buy extra in Wilkinsons. (read more)

They say that they offer an unconditional money back guarantee until you actually want to return the product. Don't buy it! They are a dishonest company! (read more)

THE BEER MACHINE 2000 DOSE NOT PRODUCE CLEAR BEER, I HAVE TRIED 4 KITS NOW AND I ENDED UP THROWING THE LOT DOWN THE DRAIN, I DID EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK AND EVEN GIVE IT MORE TIME IN THE MACHINE TO CLEAR, BUT TO NO AVAIL THE MACHINE ITSELF IS MECANICALY SOUND, IT SERVES BETTER AS A DISPENCING MACHINE FOR BEER YOU HAVE ALREADY BREWED THE CONVENTIONAL WAY.

Written on: 28/03/2009
The Beer Machine is easy to use if you follow the instructions to the letter. Be scrupulously clean, 'Milton' (baby bottle stariliser) works well- no aftertaste. Make sure water is room temp before you start. Bottling the beer further improves it. Convenient. All ingredients come in pack. Around 50-70p per pint. Reliable if you are careful. Good beer! Bad point is only 18, or so, pints a time (read more)

The Beer Machine is a complete and utter waste of time, effort and money. There are no good points. It is impossible to seal, it leaks, the pressure relief valve doesn't work, the beer won't clear (read more)

Written on: 27/10/2006 by John09 (2 reviews written)
The good thing about The Beer Machine is that the beer is ready in 10 days and is the best home brew kit I've ever tried. It's the next best thing to supermarket beer, actually I think it tastes better!! I hunted around to get the best price. Great fun, cheap beer and for a change, takes home brew to a new level of quality. (read more)

“Hank likes his homebrew so The Beer Machine seemed...”
Written on: 08/11/2005 by Hank (124 reviews written)
Hank likes his homebrew so The Beer Machine seemed like a great idea. It takes seven to ten days to prepare the perfect pint but it's worth the wait. No longer does real ale have to taste like a cross between fertiliser and nitric acid as you can brew a fine pint with this kit. I'm really happy with my purchase and see it as £100 well spent. Well done to our Canadian cousins on such an inspired invention. (read more)
