The most straightforward way to start is to purchase a homebrew beer starter kit containing all the essential equipment needed to brew your first beer kit.īrewing a beer kit is most brewers first step into making beer. Getting into a hobby like brewing can be daunting at first, but it needn't be. You have decided to make yourself some beer. The fermented liquid (beer) is then stored in a barrel or bottles and cleared before drinking. You then add yeast which ferments over a few days, turning the sugar into alcohol. The beer kits contain a concentrated hopped liquid malt extract, to which you add water to produce a wort (the name for a pre-fermented beer). The end product from these kits is often regarded as superior to many commercially available beers, and you have the added reassurance of knowing what has gone into your beer. The latest ranges of quality kits showcase what is achievable in homebrew. The higher quality homebrew beer kits have significantly improved over the years. However, if you do some research and slightly modify the instructions to your liking, you could make GREAT beer from a basic kit. By following the instructions, you will produce a good beer. This characteristic also allows more adventurous homebrewers to play around with adding extra hops and malts or different yeasts to learn how they can affect the brew's flavour, colour, and aroma. Basic beer kits are a great learning tool for new homebrewers because the kit provides an excellent solid base product that is pleasant and unfussy. At Brew Mart, we do not sell kits that do not meet our high standards. Most of the argument of "How good is a beer making kit?" comes down to personal preference.
