Beer Equipment Starter Kits

Optimum beer starter kits for your budget

Some kits work, some kits don't. At BrewSmarter, we take a long term view: we don't just want people to start homebrewing, we want them to keep home brewing. Its very important to select a quality equipment kit so that you can develop a lifelong hobby that is incredibly rewarding . . .

To see just how easy bottling should be, have a look at our bottling video on YouTube: Bottling Made Easy. He is using a Craft Range Bottle Tree and a Craft Range Rinser. If you use these with Chemipro OXI or Starsan, then you don't even have to rinse the bottles! When you buy certain starter kits, you can select bundle options to get all of these at close to a third of the normal price. The rinser can be used on a table top, or it can be attached to the top of the bottle tree.

The NEW Coopers DIY Beer Kit NEW (with VWP Sterilizer) is the best selling starter kit in the world. Includes VWP Cleaner/Sterilizer, not standard because of international controls. It has everything except a heating BrewBelt. Look at the instructional videos. The packaging and presentation are superb, it makes the perfect gift. The Coopers DIY Beer Kit NEW (with VWP Sterilizer, Red Brewbelt) is the best value Coopers equipment kit on the market. Users reorder beer kits seven times per year. Most of those who buy other kits may reorder once or twice, and then give up homebrewing. Coopers kits work!
