Knowledge Base
Articles on making beer, wine and liqueurs, and the terms you’ll meet doing it. The map covers the brewing process itself; the sections below cover kits, ingredients and equipment.
Principles of Beer Making
The stages of brewing from scratch. Extract brewing starts part way, and beer kits skip most of the work and equipment and let you start at fermentation.
Ingredients
What goes in the pot: grain and malt in all its forms, hops, sugar, yeast and the water itself.
Beer Kits
What a beer kit is, how to make one up, and the ranges behind the labels — so you can pick the kit that suits how you drink.
Wine Making
Wine kits and how to go beyond them, the makers behind the boxes, and the grapes themselves.
Equipment
The kit you brew with — reading a hydrometer, fitting an airlock, bottling up, and the all-grain machines.
Spirits & Liqueurs
Getting home-made liqueurs to the strength of the real thing.
