Home Brew Starter Kits & Beer Brewing Kits
A home brewing starter kit gives you every piece of equipment needed to brew your first batch of beer at home — fermenter, airlock, sanitiser, thermometer, and instructions — in one ready-to-go package. Australian Home Brewing stocks beginner beer brewing kits from $139, shipping Australia-wide.
Whether you're after a simple extract kit to brew your first batch this weekend, or an all-grain setup to brew like a craft brewery, we have a starter kit matched to your budget and ambition. Trusted by thousands of home brewers across Australia. ★★★★★
Extract kits are the easiest starting point — just add water, pitch the yeast, and ferment. All-grain starter kits include a mash tun or all-in-one vessel for brewers who want full control over their recipe. Upgrade-ready kits let you start simple and add kegging, temperature control, or larger volumes as your skills grow.

✅ Step-by-step instructions included
✅ Beginner-friendly, no experience needed
✅ Upgrade-ready as your skills grow
✅ Expert support + free shipping on orders over $150

Four kits, one decision. All four produce the same quality beer — what changes is how much gear comes in the box and how smoothly brew day and bottling day go. Here's how to pick the right one.
Choose by who you are
Just want to try it
Get the Starter Kit at $139.90. Lowest outlay, everything you need for your first batch. If you catch the bug, you can add gear later.
Pretty sure you'll love it
Go straight to the Black Label at $335.90. No second orders, no missing pieces — it's the most complete setup from day one.
Brewing through winter
The Super Deluxe ($259.90) includes a heater pad. In Victoria, Tasmania, or cooler inland areas, fermentation temperature makes a real difference to the final beer.
Buying as a gift
Black Label is the safest choice. It looks complete because it is — nothing worse than a gift that needs extra parts before it works.
