Hop for Beer

Hops are an essential ingredient in homebrew beers, used as either for bittering or aroma.

We tend to sell hops that have been processed into pellet form. The hop pellets help to infuse their characteristics, flavours, bitterness and acids more efficiently that cone hops.

Traditional beers will have hops added to add a bitterness to the beer. Craft beers will have the hop pellets added post fermentation (dry hopping) to add extra aromas without the bitterness. but many of the hops we sell can be used for both bittering and aroma.

We have a range of bitter and aroma hops varieties to buy, choose depending on what end result you want and what style of beer you are making. Combine that with the multiple ways to add hoppy flavours to your beer and the potential recipes are endless.

Hops are also act as a preservative, so helps keep your beer fresher for longer.

We have tried to give you lots of information on each of the hops we sell to help you understand their aroma profile and what characteristics they can add to the finished beer. However, if you need any help choosing the right hop for the beer you are making, feel free to get in touch with us!

10 litre (2 Gallon) Keg Barrel with Vent Cap

John Bull cider kit

I have found this to be the best Cider kit I have ever made going with the advice from the video that Davin put up. I just used two tins no sugar and I made 5 gallons I bottled so many, and also purchased a 2 gallon barrel from them, which again was excellent for the job, highly recommended service and advice from Davin Would definitely highly recommend them all

Elderberries - 500g

A useful buy

My usual go to plase seems to be have been stripped before I got there, so these can be added to those I managed to pcik and at least help me salvage some wine, so they are useful to have.

Complete Wine Making Starter Package - To Make 5 Litres / 6 Bottles

Everything needed to get started!

Decided to pick the Elderberries from the bush in the garden this year, rather than leaving them for the birds, and never having made wine before we needed all the equipment. I sent Brewbitz a message and Davin replied quickly advising that this kit would have everything needed (except of course the fruit, sugar, and water!). Have been following the elderberry wine recipe elsewhere on the site, and so far so good - just transferred to the demijohn for secondary fermentation, smells amazing, and tastes OK so far :D

Perfect if you want to try your hand at home brewing/winemaking :)
