Starter Kits

Home brew starter kits group together the core equipment needed for fermentation, measuring, transferring and often bottling a first batch. Inclusions vary considerably, so choose according to the drink you want to make, preferred batch size and whether bottles or an ingredient kit are supplied.

Choosing a starter kit

• Beer kit with bottles: Compare the Coopers DIY Starter Kit with PET Bottles and the Mangrove Jack’s Home Brew Starter Kit with PET Bottles.
• Craft-style beer: The Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Beer Starter Kit is an option for starting with the Craft Series range.
• Cider: Choose the Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Cider Starter Kit when cider is the main focus.
• Mead: The Mangrove Jack’s Mead Starter Kit provides a dedicated starting point for mead making.

Before ordering, check whether the kit includes bottles, caps, cleaner or sanitiser, measuring instruments and the first recipe ingredients. Reusable equipment can support later batches, but yeast, fermentables, carbonation products and cleaning supplies normally need replenishing.
