Geordie Mild 40pt Home Brew Kit — Dark Mild Ale

Mild used to outsell bitter in the UK, and while it's fallen out of fashion at the bar, it's quietly one of the best styles to brew at home — low in bitterness and ABV, so it's easy to drink a few pints without feeling it the next day. The Geordie Mild delivers that classic Northern character faithfully, at 40 pints for £11.75.

What's Included

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

Read our full step-by-step Geordie Beer Kit brewing instructions — covers the wort, fermentation, bottling, and maturing, from start to first pint.

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

  • Use Dark Spraymalt instead of plain sugar to add extra body and colour
  • Use Coopers Carbonation Drops for easy, precise bottle priming
  • Mild is a session beer by design — don't over-condition it chasing extra strength; drink it fresh and often, the way it was meant to be

Also from the Geordie range: Geordie Bitter, Yorkshire Bitter, Winter Warmer, and Geordie Lager.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pints does it make?

40 pints. The kit is a 1.5kg tin of hopped mild ale malt extract with a sachet of yeast.

What else do I need to add?

Water and your fermentable - Dark Spraymalt instead of plain sugar adds extra body and colour. Check the instructions in the tin for the quantity.

Is any equipment included?

No, this kit is ingredients-only. You'll need a 25-litre fermentation bucket, airlock, hydrometer, syphon, and bottles or a pressure barrel - our home brew starter kits include everything in one bundle.

How do I know when it's ready to bottle?

Take hydrometer readings two days apart - if the gravity hasn't changed, fermentation has finished. Our step-by-step Geordie Beer Kit instructions cover the whole process from wort to first pint.

Any tips for a better result?

Prime the bottles with Coopers Carbonation Drops. Mild is a session beer, so drink it fresh rather than over-conditioning it.
