If you really want the top of the range starter beer kit, then this is the one for you.
We want your first homebrewing experience to be a success . . . its better business for us.
Its the only really complete starter beer kit. Its a BrewSmarter starter kit with special Ox-Bar bottles and a heating brew belt plus a mechanical timer which allows you to control the amount of heating. In other words, its got absolutely everything you will ever need to make homebrew beer at any time of the year (brew belts are essential in all but the hot summer months in order to keep your fermenting beer at the correct temperature).
We were the among the first in the world to introduce new technology Ox-Bar bottles. Before this innovation, we recommended using glass bottles. This was because, over time, ordinary plastic bottles allow CO2 to escape and Oxygen to enter your bottled beer. This causes your beer to go flat, and taste off. Not any more! These amazing 3 layer bottles are constructed of a layer of Oxygen barrier material sandwiched between two layers of PET. All the advantages of glass bottles, but with the convenience of screw cap bottles.
Enbracing new technology has made brewing beer so much easier and enjoyable! This starter kit really makes the whole process so simple and mess free. And its incredibly cost effective too!
Comes with additional free upgrades:
- 30 litre quality Brewferm PP fermenter,
- quality Stevenson Reeves hydrometer,
- laboratory quality Stevenson Reeves glass trial jar (the slightly larger diameter minimizes surface tension effects, giving more accurate hydrometer readings), and
- large easy to read liquid crystal thermometer, full range 10 to 40 oC (required for true lagers and pilsners),
This kit allows you to brew without opening the fermenter; keeping air away from your brew. You no longer have to wash and sterilize thermometers and hydrometers every time you need to take a reading. To take a temperature reading, just read the liquid crystal thermometer. To take a hydrometer reading, just open the tap and fill the trial jar.
For easy bottle filling, the kit comes with a bottle filling mechanism: just push the bottle up, and when full, lower it - the flow of beer automatically stops. No more nightmares with syphons spilling beer everywhere.
And it contains a quality Stevenson Reeves hydrometer, and a Stevenson Reeves glass trial jar, which can be filled without opening the fermenter. Again, no messing around.
Comes with 100 grams VWP Cleaner/Sterilizer, the best. And a bubbler airlock. Its all quality components.
Also contains brewing sugar (Glucose / Dextrose Monohydrate) to improve the quality of your home brew beer, and Coopers Carbonation Drops to make bottling your homebrew beer a breeze.

Special tip: (applies to all beer and wine kits): before you add the yeast, make sure the temperature is not too high! If the temperature drops below the recommended range, fermentation simply slows down. But if it gets too high, the beer can be ruined!
