Lager is the UK's best-selling beer style by volume, and the Geordie Lager gives you a genuine shot at brewing it at home for pennies a pint rather than paying pub or supermarket prices. It won't be a German-precision pilsner, but for a straightforward, refreshing lager kit at this price, it's hard to beat.
This is the individual single-style lager kit. For the full range of Geordie styles in one listing, see the Geordie Home Brew Kit Range.
What's Included
A 1.5kg tin of hopped lager malt extract and a sachet of yeast. Add water and 1kg brewing sugar or light spray malt.

What Equipment Do You Need?
This kit is ingredients-only. You'll also need a 25-litre fermentation bucket, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and bottles or a pressure barrel. Our home brew starter kits include everything in one bundle. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan.
Tips for Best Results
- Fermenting a touch cooler than you would an ale gives the cleanest lager character — don't rush this one at ale temperatures if you can help it
- Add beer finings after fermentation for a brilliantly clear, bright lager — cloudy lager looks wrong even when it tastes fine
- Use light spray malt instead of plain sugar for a slightly fuller body without losing the clean lager character
