Beer Making Kits

Complete kits to brew beer at home

A beer making kit is the simplest way to start brewing. It packs the ingredients, a fermenter and the essential bits into one box, with instructions that walk you through your first batch step by step. The kits here range from small one gallon starters for a low-commitment try to bigger setups that make enough to share, across styles from pale ale to lager and wheat beer.

New to this? Our guide on how to choose beer making kits helps you choose.

Pick a batch size and a style

One gallon kits are the easy way in, less to buy, less to store and a short wait to your first taste. Five gallon kits make a proper batch and suit anyone who knows they will stick with it. Choose a beer style you actually like to drink, and check that refill ingredient packs are available so brew number two is quick and cheap.

The gift that keeps giving

A brewing kit is a brilliant present, it hands someone a new hobby and a batch of beer at the end of it. When they are ready for more, point them to individual homebrew equipment and a bigger fermenter. More gift ideas in our beer gift guides.
