Homebrew Wine & Beer Yeasts
Choosing the yeast to use in your homebrew beer or wine is not just about turning sugar to alcohol during fermentation. Yeasts do more than that. There are thousands of different strains of yeast and they all produce different flavours and feel.
Yeast don't just eat sugar either. They consume other compounds in the liquor and convert these into new ones. This is why grape juice doesn't taste like wine. It has been chemically altered by the wine yeast and the fermentation process.
Yeasts produce lots of different flavours while they are fermenting your beer, lager, wine or cider. Some work well in beer, but don't work well in wine. So selecting a beer yeast to give the flavour you want is crucial. Yeast can also cause a beer to be hazy, so it's all about the look too.
Shop our range of the most popular yeast brands for brewing wine, beer, champagne, cider and lager.
A small sachet will easily ferment 25 litres. However, even if you are making a smaller quantity, just use the whole sachet. Yeast have to multiply and will keep multiplying until they have filled the vessel, simply adding more in at the beginning will just help speed up the process and your fermentation will begin sooner.

from 211 reviewsI made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
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
Great to see different flavour range from the muntons tap room kits I made the peach to their own kit fab results after few weeks storage peach flavour came through well cant wait to try other flavours
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.
Have not used it but it arrived intact which is a major plus
My favourite from a kit so far, really nice ginger flavour, and a reasonable price.
Great product. Occasionally takes more than a day to clear
Good stuff.
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 :)
Excellent product
Ready to drink in 10 to 14 days, a lovely wine 🍷 as good as any good quality wine bought from a shop.
Cheap, cheerful, foolproof. Nothing to not like 😀
They came quickly,I havn't used them yet, but look ok, shorter than corks I had been using
Super easy purchase and quick delivery time
Will shop again!
