Yorkshire bitters have a reputation for being rounder and less sharply bitter than their Southern equivalents, and the Geordie Yorkshire Bitter fits that mould — an approachable, easy-drinking bitter that's a good starting point if you've never brewed the style before. Makes 40 pints for £11.75.

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

  • Use medium spray malt instead of plain sugar for improved malt body
  • A splash of Yorkshire pride, if you're that way inclined — the sweeter, rounder finish here is exactly what separates a Yorkshire bitter from anywhere else's
  • Great as an everyday session beer — low enough in bitterness that you won't tire of it after the first pint

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 gives a fuller malt body.

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?

Swap the sugar for medium spray malt. It's a rounder, less sharply bitter style, which makes it a great everyday session beer.

Mixed this with medium spray malt and it looks and smells great. Still brewing, when done I will flavour with some styrian hops and decant it into a pressure barrel.
