ADVANTAGES:

• Economical
• Simple single-stage fermentations
• Great for experimenting with the hobby

If you're interested in trying your hand at homebrewing, this kit is an affordable introduction to the hobby that starts you off with user-friendly equipment that doesn't take up a lot of space.

The primary fermenter in our Basic Kit is a 6 gallon food-grade plastic bucket with a tight-fitting lid; buckets are easy to fill, clean and carry, and they can be stacked for storage. The main drawbacks to plastic fermenters are that they are not completely airtight and you cannot see inside them, making it harder to monitor fermentation. The Basic Kit does a single-stage fermentation, where the beer is fermented in one vessel and then bottled after minimal aging.

Note: This starter kit is designed to work with our extract ale kits, brewing lagers or all-grain will require additional equipment.
