The details
Real craft beer, in a batch that fits your kitchen. The AHB Small Batch Home Brew Beer Kit is the same gear as our full-size kit with a 15L fermenter, for brewing 12 litres at a time: about 32 stubbies.
It suits anyone who wants to try brewing without committing to 55 bottles, brewers short on space, and anyone who likes to brew often and try a new beer each time. It also makes a great Christmas present for the beer lover who has everything.
What's in the kit
- 15L fermenter - food-grade drum with grommet, airlock, stick-on thermometer strip and a sediment reducing tap. This is where your beer ferments.
- Twin-lever bottle capper - fits standard crown-seal glass bottles.
- 100 crown seals - the caps for your bottles.
- Bottling valve - clips onto the fermenter tap for quick, clean fills.
- Carbonation drops - pre-measured sugar that gives each bottle its fizz.
- No-rinse sanitiser - sanitise everything that touches the beer.
You'll also need: a small batch recipe kit for your first beer, a pot of about 5 litres, and about 32 x 375mL stubbies or 16 x 750mL long necks (crown-seal glass, not screw tops).
Worth adding: a hydrometer and test flask ($31.90). It measures the sugar in your beer, so you know when fermentation has finished and how strong it is.
Choose your first beer
Our small batch recipe kits are written for 10 to 12 litres, with a short brew day on the stove and a recipe card that explains what every ingredient does:
- Aussie Pub Draught - about 4.3% ABV.
- Bolter XPA - about 4.9% ABV.
- Cascade Single Hop Pale Ale - about 4.2% ABV.
- Super Stout - about 4.7% ABV.
- Chimay Blue - 5.5 to 6.0% ABV.
- Sticks & Stones Pacific Ale - about 4.9% ABV.
- Famous Irish Red Ale - about 5.1% ABV.
Most are ready to drink about five weeks after brew day.

A tip from the team
A 15L fermenter fits in a cupboard or on a laundry shelf, so find a spot that stays at a steady temperature before brew day. It makes more difference to your first batch than anything else.
