Extract Kits for Home Brewing Beer

Extract kits are a straightforward way into homebrewing – you’re making real beer, just without the full all-grain day. Instead of mashing grains, the fermentable base comes from malt extract, so brew day is shorter and the gear list stays sensible.

They’re a solid fit if you want reliable results, you’re brewing in a kitchen or small space, or you simply fancy spending more time drinking beer than cleaning up after it. Most extract brew kits only ask for the basics (a fermenter, good sanitation, and a steady fermentation temperature), and you’ll typically be packaging within a few weeks.

We’ve got a spread of easy starters and more tweak-friendly kits here; from Muntons, Mangrove Jack’s, Festival, Coopers, Woodforde’s and St Peter’s – alongside fresh wort options to get you fermenting fast. For kits across all brewing methods, browse our full range of beer kits.
