So, I tested a little bottle after the appropriate amount of time for the carbonation to build up and found the beer....  pretty flat.  :(

The 'master' brewers told me to shake the bottles and put it in a warm room (75 deg) for another 9 days and then re-check to see if that would activate the yeasts...

Guess we shall see...  Interesting process.

I found a local wine/beer/cheese shop that has a kit and all the ingredients necessary to make your own beer.

I am getting it for christmas and will start my brewing, FINALLY! 

The kit I found on Costco's website is no longer available.  Perhaps it was a seasonal item?  Well, guess my search continues.  will have to set some time aside for Googling... 

Anyone use a kit in the past?  Recommendations?

Not sure if this is any good, but found a Home Brew kit on Costo.com.  Will probably give it a try.

Made by Beercraft.  ANyone know if it is good?
