The St. Peters Home Brew Kit Range brings the award-winning beers of St. Peter's Brewery in Suffolk directly to your home brew setup. Founded in 1996 and based in a stunning 17th-century hall in South Norfolk, St. Peter's is celebrated for bold, distinctive beers with real character — and these 3kg kits faithfully recreate those same styles at home.
Each kit produces approximately 32-40 pints of full-flavoured, premium-quality ale. Available in five classic St. Peter's styles: Golden Ale, IPA, Cream Stout, Ruby Red Ale, and Plum Porter.
About the Beer Styles
- Golden Ale — Light, bright, and refreshingly hoppy. A clean, aromatic golden ale with a dry, bitter finish. One of St. Peter's most popular beers.
- IPA — A well-balanced India Pale Ale with citrus and floral hop character and a satisfying bitter finish. Brewed to a traditional British IPA specification.
- Cream Stout — Rich, dark, and smooth with a creamy head. Notes of chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit with a silky mouthfeel. One of the finest stout kits available.
- Ruby Red Ale — A deep ruby-coloured ale with a complex malt profile, gentle hop bitterness, and a warming finish. Deeply satisfying.
- Plum Porter — A dark, smooth porter with real plum character running through the roasted malt base. Rich and layered with a fruity finish.
What's Included
Each 3kg kit contains premium hopped malt extract and a yeast sachet. Add water and sugar (or preferably light spray malt for improved body and head retention). Full instructions included.
What Equipment Do You Need?
A 25-litre fermenter with airlock, a hydrometer, a syphon, and either bottles with caps or a pressure barrel. Our home brew starter kits include all the essentials in one bundle. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan.
Tips for Best Results
- Ferment at 18–20°C for the cleanest, most characterful result
- Substitute sugar with light or dark spray malt for better body and a richer flavour
- Condition for at least 2 weeks in the bottle — St. Peter's styles improve noticeably with time
- Serve at cellar temperature (10–12°C) to appreciate the full flavour profile
