Home Brew Mart

Our four home brew kits offer virtually everything you need for your first successful batch of home brew. We have designed four kits to allow you to choose the equipment you want. All kits come with ingredients for your first 5 gallons and full instructions. Three of our kits contain glass primary fermentors and the other uses a plastic fermentor. Many people ask what the difference is between plastic and glass in terms of brewing quality. There is no flavor difference. The glass carboys are non porous and will not absorb flavor. They also allow for full viewing of the fermentation process. The drawbacks to glass is that it is breakable and reasonably heavy when full. The plastic offers easy lifting with a handle, and the ability to pour hot liquid in without fear of cracking. The plastic will eventually absorb beer flavors and can scratch from rough handling which increases the chance of contamination. Plastic is a good choice for someone just starting out or someone not sure of the investment they want to put into homebrewing since the glass carboys are more expensive. Many people already have a stockpot and bottles, so we have left these out of the first two kits.  The kit #3 offers the ability to begin with absolutely nothing else required, besides water and your stove.  For the ultimate kit, try our kit #4 which jumps you straight into draft homebrew.
