What is the best home brew starter kit to buy?

posted on November 21, 2007 in home brew


I want to buy a home brew kit and start brewing some real ale. Can anyone suggest the best kit to start off with and where I can buy it from. Cheers!

Any one that has all the needed equipment and ingredients to brew your first beer. Do you have a 6-10 gallon stainless steel or canning pot? This will help reduce your investment capital. A couple of key things top look for include a hydrometer, capper w/ caps, racking tube and tubing, two fermentation tubs/tanks/ either foodgrade plastic or glass. Most kits are well designed. Just google a shop or online store nearest you amd ask you their guidance.

How do I cap the green plastic bottles used for home brew beer?

I want to learn how to brew my own beer. I was given 48 used green plastic bottles. But I am not sure how I meant to seal the bottles.

There is an nifty gadget you get from where you get the rest of your brewing supplies. It has two handles that swing up and down and a cylinder that the cap sits in. You mash down the handles and it caps the bottle.
