Our basic fermentation kits come with essential fermentation equipment for making beer at home. This kit is a starter fermentation setup, so brewers should plan to gather the additional items needed to brew, package, and serve a complete batch. Most home kitchens already have some useful brew-day basics, such as a large stockpot for boiling wort. For secondary fermentation or additional batch capacity, browse options such as a 6-gallon PET carboy. For bottling a typical 5-gallon beer batch, plan on about 48 standard 12 oz bottles; 12 oz amber beer bottles, fresh 26mm oxygen absorbing bottle caps, and a compatible dual lever bottle capper are useful add-ons when you are packaging in bottles. Use this Essentials kit as the fermentation foundation, then add the boiling, bottling, recipe, cleaning, and packaging pieces that fit the way you want to brew.
