The Woodforde's Home Brew Kit Range brings Norfolk's most celebrated real ale brewery to your home brew setup. Woodforde's have won more CAMRA awards than any other brewery in Britain, and their home brew kits faithfully recreate those same award-winning styles — giving you genuinely exceptional beer at a fraction of the cost of buying it in a pub.

Available in six Woodforde's styles: Wherry, Bure Gold, Admiral Reserve, Nelsons Revenge, Nog (Porter Style), and Tinsel Toes. Each 3kg kit produces up to 40 pints of rich, full-flavoured real ale - Admiral's Reserve makes 18 litres (32 pints) and Nelson's Revenge 36 pints, brewed shorter to match the cask strength.

About the Beer Styles

  • Wherry — Woodforde's most iconic beer. A beautifully balanced amber bitter with a complex malt and citrus character and clean hop finish. CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain winner.
  • Bure Gold — A classic aromatic golden ale with notes of passionfruit and orange, brewed with a mix of American, Slovenian and British hops.
  • Admiral Reserve — An award-winning tawny ale with a distinctive nose of dried fruits, sherry and almonds, full sweet malt, rich fruit, and an increasing bitterness leaving a satisfying dry finish.
  • Nelsons Revenge — A robust, full-bodied premium bitter with a pleasantly bitter finish. One of Woodforde's most popular ales.
  • Nog (Porter Style) — A dark, smooth porter-style ale with chocolate and roasted notes. Rich and deeply satisfying.
  • Tinsel Toes — Another Woodforde's ale, in the same 3kg kit format.

What's Included

Each 3kg kit contains premium hopped malt extract and a sachet of yeast. Just add water (no sugar needed) and ferment for 10–14 days. 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 everything in one bundle. Always sanitise thoroughly with VWP or ChemSan.

Tips for Best Results

  • Ferment at 18–20°C for the cleanest flavour expression
  • No sugar needed - just add water
  • Condition for at least 2 weeks in the bottle — these styles genuinely improve with time
  • Serve at cellar temperature (10–12°C) to bring out the full complexity

Also in the premium range: St. Peters, Festival Beer Kits, and Mangrove Jack's Craft Series. Browse all home brew beer kits at BrewCo.
