At £11.75 for 40 pints, see the spec panel above for the exact figures.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use medium spray malt instead of plain sugar — Scottish styles lean on malt character more than hop bitterness, so this upgrade matters more here than in most bitters
  • Traditionally served a little warmer than a lager but still well chilled — don't serve this one ice cold, it mutes the malt sweetness that defines the style
  • Good with red meat, game, or a hearty stew — the malt backbone stands up to rich food

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pints does it make?

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

What else do I need to add?

Water, plus 1kg of brewing sugar or medium spray malt. Spray malt is the better choice here, as Scottish styles lean on malt character more than hop bitterness.

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?

Use medium spray malt instead of sugar, and serve it well chilled but not ice cold - too cold mutes the malt sweetness that defines the style.

Very good service unfortunately the tin was pretty dented when I got it but asking the question was it okay? I got a very good reply ruined it and hopefully it’ll be fine. You can’t help the postage.
