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.

New to home brewing? Get this kit as a complete starter kit.

Add a 25 litre fermenter with tap, bottling wand, airlock, hydrometer and sanitiser plus the brewing sugar and it becomes our Geordie Beer Making Starter Kit – all you need to add is bottles. Includes a step-by-step guide.

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

Also consider: Coopers Canadian Blonde or Coopers European Lager for a step up in quality. Browse all home brew beer kits at BrewCo.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pints does it make?

40 pints of lager.

What's in the kit?

A 1.5kg tin of hopped lager malt extract and a sachet of yeast.

What do I need to add?

Water and 1kg of brewing sugar or light spray malt. Light spray malt gives a slightly fuller body without losing the clean lager character.

How do I get a clear, crisp lager?

Ferment a little cooler than you would an ale, and add beer finings (sold separately) once fermentation has finished for a bright, clear result.

How long does it take?

Geordie kits ferment in about 7-10 days, then need at least 7 days conditioning in the bottle or barrel. To check fermentation has finished, take hydrometer readings two days apart - if the gravity hasn't changed, it's done.

Does it come with equipment?

No, it's ingredients-only. You'll need a 25-litre fermentation bucket, airlock, hydrometer, siphon and bottles or a pressure barrel.
