Pure junk! this will be the most frustrating gift you will ever give. Brewing requires sanitation to be sucessful, this piece of dung cannot be dissasemble to clean then reassembled. The gasket on the tank will leak.Buy one of the cheap kits that can be cleaned and then the gift reciepient will have a taste of homebrewing then can decide if they would like to move on to bigger and better.It is ZERO Stars....Minus 5 maybe.
