  • Preparation time: 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Required equipment: A fermentation bucket.
  • Result: A decent beer to learn the basics of hygiene and fermentation.

2. The Fresh Wort Kit: Pro-level quality with minimal effort

Ideal for: Those who want an amazing beer without spending 5 hours in the kitchen.

The Fresh Wort Kit is a fully brewed wort made by professionals and packaged in a 15L or 20L pouch. No water to add, no boiling: transfer, pitch the yeast, and you're done.

  • Preparation time: 30 minutes.
  • Required equipment: A fermentation bucket.
  • Bonus: A tasting quality worthy of a real craft microbrewery.
  • Local: Perfect for supporting local brewing know‑how without investing in complex brewing systems.

  • Preparation time: 4 hours.
  • Required equipment: A large pot — everything else is included in the kit.
  • Bonus: You learn the real brewing steps (mashing, boiling).
  • Refills: Once you’ve brewed your recipe, keep the equipment and only buy ingredient refills.
