Beer—there’s nothing better than beer! Nothing more beautiful, more delightful, or more fantastic than beer. Liquid gold, the little angel that tickles your tongue, the magical elixir that makes all your worries melt away like snow in the sun. Beer—the true love of your life. The stuff that never lets you down, always keeps surprising you, and never leaves you hanging because “it’s tired” or “has a headache.” And then there’s the fact that beer comes in all shapes and sizes: a bock beer, a wheat beer, an IPA, a porter, a stout. It doesn’t matter—the drink is there for you. And that’s why we have a number of interesting beer brewing kits on offer for you.
How do you get started, you ask?
If you thought Dutch-Smart was only for psychedelics, truffles, and bongs, you’re wrong. Our online smartshop focuses on everything that makes life better, and well, beer is naturally part of that. Maybe brewing a wheat beer or IPA seems like a bit of a mystery at first—which is totally understandable if you’ve only ever bought and drunk beer until now. There’s nothing wrong with that, but to take it to the next level, you can pick up a beer brewing kit in our shop. This kit includes exactly the components you need as a beginner brewer and guides you through the entire process. This way, brewing your own beer suddenly isn’t so difficult anymore—it’s actually fun.
It doesn’t have to cost a lot
If you’re starting to brew beer with this simple starter kit, it’s important to first figure out if you actually enjoy brewing and if you can get the hang of it. In principle, the beer brewing process isn’t that difficult at all, especially when you purchase our brew barrels. These kits contain exactly the supplies you need to brew your own wheat beer, Oktoberfest beer, lager, or IPA. And a kit like this, capable of producing a whopping 5 liters of beer, costs just 31 euros. Not only does it provide you with all the ingredients and tools you need, but it also brings you the joy that homebrewing offers. The beauty of home-brewed beer is that—after a bit of trial and error—you can perfect the flavor exactly to your liking. What would you rather serve your friends: a boring bottle of Heineken, or your own homemade beer? Easy choice, right?
What’s included in a beer brewing kit?
Good question. In our IPA kit, for example, you’ll find one bottle of barley malt extract, one bottle of hop extract flavoring preparation, two bottles of natural flavors, one packet of dry beer yeast, a five-liter fermentation vessel, one pressure relief valve, one instruction manual, and three coasters. You’ll just need to pick up a thermometer yourself if you don’t already have one. If you’re a “beginner brewer,” these are exactly the tools you need to get started. With this kit, you can brew your own beer with an exotic twist; this IPA is a true explosion of flavor, featuring bitter, sour, and sweet notes thanks to the grapefruit and passion fruit included in the mix. Great for yourself, but of course also a perfect gift for one of your friends.
Why brew your own beer?
Do we really need to explain this to you? Well, okay then. Beer is a pleasure to drink, but you already knew that. The fact that it’s also a blast to make yourself is something many people still need to discover. Homebrewers who’ve already gotten started know that brewing beer at home is a great way to spend some quality time with yourself. Another advantage is that it’s not hard to get started at all: no super complicated guides, just a few easy-to-follow steps until you can almost smell and taste your own beer. At the same time, throughout this entire process, you’ll learn a tremendous amount about beer and which ingredients are actually responsible for the drink’s various flavors. And last but not least: a homemade beer like this is the perfect way to impress your friends at your next house party. Plenty of reasons, right? Check out our brew barrels here.
