Getting Started

I've never brewed before. Where should I start?

Start with our Getting Started guide. For kits, try a starter kit or extract kit — they handle most of the complexity. Most first batches succeed.

How long does a brew take?

Typically 4–6 weeks from brew day to drink. Extract kits are faster (2–3 weeks). The wait is worth it.

Do I need special equipment?

Starter kits include everything. Beyond that, you might want a heat belt (£15–25) to control temperature, or a bottling wand (£5–8) to speed up bottling. Most core gear comes with the kit.
