To do your own homebrew you need to find a shop that sells brewing supplies. These are situated all over. These specialist brewing supplies shops are harder to find as brewing ingredients and equipment are becoming scarcer.

Large commercial brewing supplies are also harder to find as the brewing industry becomes full of larger players and therefore the specialists are not as easy to find. We have many products on our web site and we also have a shop which has brewing supplies as well which is based in Chesterfield.

Brewing supplies can also refer to wine making as well as beer brewing although you would more readily associate this term with beer. What type of products do we have in our brewing supplies range? Hops and malt are the most popular for beer. We then have malt which is another favourite supply.
