Frequently Asked Questions

How long before my beer will be ready?
To brew your own fantastic beer takes 2-3 weeks, varying slightly on which kit you choose. It takes around 5 days for the initial brewing process in the fermenting container and then around 2 weeks in the barrel to allow the brew to clear and to develop into a smooth, clean tasting beer.

Will I need to buy anything else?
No, the Micro Brewery Kit contains all the equipment required, all you need to do is add water. The equipment included with the Micro Brewery will last for many years, all that is required to continue brewing is additional beer kits.

Are all the beer kits the same and can they be brewed with this equipment?
Essentially all the beer kits are quite similar, the difference is in the balance and style of ingredients which produces varying beer types. All the 3kg kits contain everything that you need. Kits weighing less than 3kg will need 1kg of sugar adding. Any beer kit can be brewed with this equipment.

Will the Micro Brewery Kit be packed in one box?
Yes, the kit is packed into a plain box. The Micro Brewery makes an ideal gift as there is no visible branding suggesting what might be inside!

How long does the beer last?
After your beer has finished brewing it will last up to six months. If the beer is intended to be kept for a long time (up to 2 years) then bottles can be used, all bottles sold by us are designed to take the pressure of secondary fermentation. We find that customers often like to syphon half the beer into the barrel for drinking straight away and buy a pack of bottles to store the other half to drink in future.

Will my beer go flat?
The pressure barrel supplied with the Micro Brewery will keep your beer fresh and nicely carbonated, just like in the pub. If you need to increase the pressure in the barrel, there is a valve on the top which allows the injection of extra CO2 using disposable bulbs - 2 bulbs are included.

Will brewing my own beer save me money?
One of the best advantages of brewing your own beer is the amount of money it will save you. Generally a 40 pint beer kit will cost around £10 - £20, so after purchasing the Micro Brewery you’ll be brewing top notch beer from 20p a pint!

Can anybody make home brew beer?
Absolutely! Instructions are included and it’s very straight forward. It is important to clean the equipment (with the included steriliser) but nothing difficult needs to be done – other than waiting!

Fresh and zesty with crisp floral flavours. A background of sweet malt and a hoppy ‘grapefruit’ bitter finish characterises this champion bitter.

Nelsons Revenge

Norfolk Nog
Smooth, rich and rounded ‘Old Ale’ with a velvety texture and hints of chocolate, treacle and liquorice.

Great Eastern
Pale and lager malts bring a light maltiness complementing the fruity bitterness of English hops. Inherent sweetness, with a long, malty finish.

Admirals Reserve
Solid and generous sweet fruit flavour create a complex and satisfying dark chestnut-coloured beer. Wonderfully, and dangerously, drinkable.
