Do you love beer but want to cut down on all those trips to the pub or feel adventurous and wish to try a new skill?
Well, using a beer brewing kit could be your solution.
We have all of the latest beer-making kits for homebrewing that will help you produce a tasty beer at home and impress all your mates.
Here are all the different styles of beer-making kits to choose from, starting with an ale right through to wheat beer.
Homebrewing is a fantastic hobby. You can make five gallons of beer at a time to enjoy and share with your friends, knowing that you are also receiving added health benefits from the beer.
Homebrew is healthier because we do not filter out all the good nutrients.
The United Kingdom is relatively laid back about its laws surrounding home brewing. Provided that it's only for your consumption, there's no limit to the amount of beer or wine you can make. Furthermore, it's legal to distil spirits at home, although it requires a license.
The actual process of mixing your beer brewing kit is speedy. However, your beer-to-be will need to ferment in your beer brewing vessel for at least two weeks or maybe longer, depending on the type of beer you're brewing, followed by two weeks of bottle conditioning after you've bottled your homebrew.
Ale is considered the most straightforward beer to brew among most homebrewers. When brewing ales, it is effortless to rectify any mistakes that may have happened. Ales are very easy to sort out, which is the main reason why they are considered the easiest type of beer to make
The actual process of brewing beer is only as complex as boiling water, stirring things, and being careful about cleanliness (ask any professional brewer, and they'll tell you 90% of their job is the cleaning and sanitising items)
Homebrew beer keeps well for roughly a year, and during that time, its flavour often continues evolving. The taste keeps improving for a couple of months after bottling, it then stays steady for several months, and then it begins to deteriorate and turn stale after about 12 months.
The beer may also round out a lot better if you give it an extra week or two after fermentation is over. Many brewers give beer at least two weeks before bottling, but sooner than two weeks is ideal for hoppy beers and wheat beers, which are brewed to be drunk quickly.
Are beer making kits any good?
