Searching For Online Brewing Supplies

By Mark Turner


A large number of people make their own beer and wine at home as a rewarding hobby. As well as the kits and special ingredients needed to make wine and beer there is a certain amount of specialist equipment required. When you are looking for online brewing supplies there are many suppliers available and there are some important things to consider.

Web based home brew suppliers have huge stocks for you to browse before you order and purchase. The online suppliers are very useful for the new home brewers as the starter kits and start up equipment can be purchased as a package. You can also contact these suppliers via telephone or email if you are unsure about what to order and purchase.

One of the advantages of buying on the net is the low prices and huge choice of stock. Due to their low overheads, a web based retailer is able to charge much less than the high street stores, and they pass savings on to customers. Most of the web sites will have a testimonials page which makes useful reading as it will give you a good idea of the service you are likely to receive.

Home beer and wine making does not have to be an expensive hobby and a reasonable quantity of beer or wine can be made reasonably cheaply. A small start up kit to make lager or dark beer will cost around fifty bucks and you will need to add sugar and water. A few bottles of wine in varieties of red, white or rose wine can be made for around thirty dollars.

You will also need to buy some equipment before you can produce beers and wines in your home. You will require a brew kettle to hold the liquid while it is fermenting, a brewers hydrometer to test the alcohol content and some cleaning equipment. It is imperative that you sterilize your equipment before and after making each batch to avoid bacteria and contamination.

You can also find items for the more advanced beer and wine makers on the suppliers web sites which may be of interest. Glass bottles, caps and customized labels are available which will make your products look more professional. Handmade oak barrels are also available for the amateur wine makers to mature their wines prior bottling.

If you wish to progress from using starter kits you can buy separate ingredients from an internet supplier and make a brew to your own recipe. Various malts, hop mixes and brewing yeasts are available as well as special additives to enhance your creations. Some of the online retailers will have chat section on their sites to allow beer and wine makers to swap recipes and share ideas.

When you have finalized your order you will get a total and you will need to add shipping costs onto the final bill. Some of the web based suppliers may offer free or low cost carriage if your order is over a set amount. Always make sure that your order is insured while it is on the road in case your items are lost or damaged in transit.
