Beer Making Kits

Have you ever fancied having a go at brewing your own with beer making kits? It is more than likely especially if you like your beer. Fed up paying those outrageous prices in the pubs? Fed up with the poor selection of really different beers in the supermarkets and off licences? Well with our beer making kits we have the solution to all these problems. There are more than 250 different types of beer kits to brew and these ranges from a standard Bitter. To Yorkshire Bitter, Scottish Export (80-/- and many more variations), Stout (all variations of English, Irish and Welsh), Newcastle Brown (Midland and North West), Black Country Mild, London Ales, Kent specials with home grown hops, the list is endless and I think you might struggle working your way through that lot. Added to which we have Pilsner, Australian, Danish, Mexican, Dutch, Australian lager plus many many more. Within our beer making kits we also have ciders of various types, sizes and strengths’ which again produce some superb alternatives.

The price of the beer making kits will vary from around seven pounds and go up to twenty five pounds for the most expensive. The main determining factor will be the amount of malt and the quality of the malt. These can vary considerably from kit to kit. Some of the kits will make slightly less in quantity ranging from 24 to 40 pints and the reason for this is the variation in the final gravity of the drink (normally 3.5 to say 7% Alcohol by Volume or more commonly known as A.B.V.).

As well as beer making kits, such as the Muntons beer kit, you will also need some equipment to ferment and store the beer. The best way to ferment is to use a 25 litre bucket with lid which needs to be made in food grade plastic and helps if it's see through. We also need a thermometer (its important to maintain temperature during fermentation) a hydrometer (to see when fermentation is finished), a barrel or bottles to store the beer in after fermentation and some steriliser (its very important to maintain sterilisation of all the equipment that comes into contact with the brew to prevent infections). And obviously you will need those special beer making kits.
