Beer Kit
Go Shopping for Beer Kits
The first decision we need to make before we select our beer kit is how much we want to spend. The cheaper kits start at around £7 and go up to about £23. The variation in price is down to mainly the amount of malt in the beer kit, and the quality of the malt. The cheaper beer kits will ask you to add sugar so this is an extra cost and obviously won't produce as a good a quality beer as the all malt kits. So bear this in mind when making your choice. The amount you will make varies on some of the beer kits from 24 pints to 40 pints so look at this as well.
If you have not purchased your equipment, then decide whether it is going to be bitters or lagers that you are making. If it's lager then I would suggest that you always bottle this. That way you will have good carbonation and you can chill them in the fridge. If it's a bitter kit then this can be served from a pressure barrel.
We still have a great choice but over the years we have seen many beer kit manufacturers disappear; Unican, Vina, and Glenbrew for example. The big change over the last few years has been the breweries showing an interest in producing there own range of beer kit to match the types of beers they sell in the pubs. The two that spring to mind are Woodfordes who are well known for their Wherry Beer. The other one is the Milestone Brewery which successfully launched a range last year. There is also talk that Springhead has a beer kit ready to launch and others might follow soon.
Have a good look on our site you wont be disappointed with any of the beer kits in our range.
