Product information
Where do we ship?
We can ship items to all UK addresses, including Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands, Isles of Wight, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
All products are checked before dispatch.
Whilst we do check all items before shipping, there is a chance that cans can get dented, a pouch of wine kit can pop and glass can get broken on its way to you, this is sometimes the inevitable consequences of mail order!
If you notice that any packaging is damaged when delivered by our courier, it is important to check the goods and if damaged, accept the delivery, take some photos and call us immediately.
More often than not, dented beer cans are still totally fine to be used, and where a pouch has popped, it's easily wiped up and we can send a replacement - we appreciate your co-operation and understanding.

This kit will also require one of the following:
a - 1kg of Brewing Sugar (supermarket sugar will work, but it will cause the finished beer to be sweet)
Or
b - 1kg of Beer Enhancer. A mixture of brewing sugar and light spraymalt. This will give the finished beer a good body and mouth feel.
Or
c - 1.2kg of Liquid Malt Extract. This will give the best finished beer with a smooth body, full flavour and good head retention.
Or
d - Use a different flavour of Liquid Malt Extract to further enhance your beer kit and enable you to create your own unique beers.
You will also need basic brewing equipment such as: a 23 litre bucket; syphon; steriliser; thermometer & hydrometer to brew this ingredient kit. If you do not have any equipment we have a starter package with all the equipment you will need to make this beer. We also have bottles and barrels for you to store your beer once it has been made.
