I purchased 3 jars of Simple Sugars (in various scents) online after seeing it on Shark Tank. When I received them in the mail, the first jar seemed a little bit dry. After giving it a good stir, it was still dry and crumbly but the scent was nice and it was usable. By the time I finished the first two jars and opened the third, it was completely dried out and caked solid in the jar - the scent was totally gone and it smelled a bit rancid. While I like the concept (and probably the product if it were fresh), I will go back to buying scrubs at my local farmer's market. This product was "simply" too expensive to throw out!

I have been using this kit for over a year and it has been terrific. I too had one of the "professional home brewer" set ups before, but all of that collects dust now in the basement. This is so much easier and quicker to make. I made up a box of all of the tools and I have all of the steps in my head now, and I can get two kegs fermenting in an hour, then 3 weeks later, I can get the bottles sanitized and filled in about an hour, too. The best way to do this however, is to ferment in the keg at the same you are fermenting in the bottles so that you are producing on a constant, rotating basis, thus when you empty the keg to fill the bottles, refill the keg and get it going with a new batch at the same sitting. Doing this with one keg (and fermenting for 3 weeks) you will get 8 quarts every 3 weeks. Frankly, it's not much more work once you are working on one keg to prepare a second, thus increasing production to 16 quarts every 3 weeks, equal to 1 3/4 cases every 3 weeks. After shipping costs, the beer ends up being under $1.50 per quart. I find the quality of the beer to be good, although I do not try to alter the basic recipes. Leaving the beer longer than 3 weeks may help, I don't know.

I am really angry that I paid $75 for this when the distributor I just met told me anyone selling Young Living Ouls is not allowed to charge over $24 ( approx) for this oil. I am going to return it. This is outrageous.
