MAKE GREAT BEER AT HOME

Things have changed a lot since your Dad brewed beer under the house.

Whatever your favourite craft or commercial beer is, you can now brew it at home for a fraction of the price.

With the right equipment, ingredients and a little bit of know how if you've got a spare 30 minutes a week you can make great beer.

Most beer lovers know what they like -whether it's VB for a hard-earned thirst or a refreshing Great Northern, Australia's favourite crafty Stone and Wood Pacific Ale, or something super hoppy that adds a flavour punch, we can get you set up and homebrewing (it'll save you a fortune).

If you’re new to brewing, grab yourself a starter kit is the easiest place to start.

Home brewing starter kits include everything you need to get started a fermenter, hydrometer, spoon, airlock and grommet, tap, temperature strip and 30 bottles, as well as basic ingredients including an extract can and yeast. Just add water and you are on your way.

We also stock pressure fermenter starter kits and full all grain brewing systems.

BREWING INGREDIENTS

There are three key ingredients you need to make beer - yeast, hops and grain. Grains form the base of your beer. Hops add flavour and aroma. Yeast makes the fermentation magic happen, different yeasts give you different beer styles. Adjuncts and additives make your beer better.
