Questions & answers
I am new to homebrewing. What equipment do I need to get started?
A starter kit is the simplest way in. This page groups starter kits alongside the core gear you will use on every batch: a fermenter, an airlock, cleaning and sanitising products, bottles or a keg for packaging, and a hydrometer or thermometer for measuring. If you are unsure which kit fits your first brew, contact the team for advice before buying single items.
How do I choose between bottling and kegging my homebrew?
Bottling costs less to start and suits small or mixed batches; you will find bottles, cappers and carbonation drops in the bottling section. Kegging a beer is way faster than bottling (clean and fill 1 keg vs 30 bottles), however you need equipment to keep it cold and serve from that keg, including a co2 bottle - both increasing initial cost. The other big advantage of kegging is the easy ability to keep oxygen out of your beer and therefore keeping the beer at peak quality for much longer (especially important for heavily hopped styles like Hazy IPAs).
Can I get brewing advice before I buy equipment?
Yes. League of Brewers offers brewing advice by email or phone during shop hours, Tuesday to Friday 10.30am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm, or through the contact page. Ask before ordering if you are unsure which fermenter, bottles or keg gear suits your first batch.
