Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are the kits?

Each Tom Caxton kit in this range contains 1.8kg of malt extract.

What do I need to add?

Each kit needs 1kg of brewing sugar or beer enhancer, plus water. A beer enhancer gives more body than sugar alone.

What's the ABV?

The Real Ale and Dark Real Ale both come out at around 4.5% ABV. For other styles, measure your batch with a hydrometer before and after fermentation.

Which styles are available?

Best Bitter, Dark Real Ale, Export Strong Bitter, Lager, Pilsner Strong Lager, Real Ale and Yorkshire Bitter.

Is there anything special about the Real Ale kit?

Yes - it includes a hop extract sachet that adds a country-hop aroma to the finished beer.

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

Ferment at a steady 18-22°C. To check fermentation has finished, take hydrometer readings two days apart - if the gravity hasn't changed, it's done.
