Home brewers - where do you get your supplies?

#1

Sometimes I do home brewing, either from wilko kits or using odd recipes I find for wine or cider-like products with mixed results. However I’ve never actually found a proper online store for ingredients, and amazon’s selection is actually kinda lacking. Where do you get your stuff? And what sort of beverages do you like to brew with it?

I don’t brew myself but I bought my Dad some beer brewing kits from brewuk.co.uk and he seemed to be happy with those.

‘Water Into Beer’ in Brockley SE4 do homebrewing supplies as well as being an excellent bottle-shop

I’ve been mostly buying through amazon, but you’re quite right, their range is limited.

I’ve heard of these guys- https://www.londonbeerlab.com/ in Brixton. They sell online too, but their brick and mortar shop isn’t too far from the space.
I’ve not used them yet, but they seem promising

Have you tried London Beer Lab in Brixton?:
https://www.londonbeerlab.com/
I’ve seen people buying supplies there (+beer). I did one of their beer brewing days but still haven’t got around to brewing my own yet (…several years later!)

My partner Nel makes wine. She gets her stuff from here: https://www.home-brew-hopshop.co.uk
or Sheels in Lewisham high street. She also has some demi johns she wants to give away if you’re interested?

Hey! As a completely novice brewer (up to batch 4 now) I did love https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/ because you can save your recipes there and they will grind the grains into a single bag for you and save a significant amount of money. Once you type in the recipe you can re-buy as well very easily. Quite neat, decent prices, fast shipment and a decent selection. Then again, I only ordered once and this could be a newbie halo effect…

I ordered two 1-gallon recipes which came to about £6.5 if that is helpful.

On reflection, I should have specified this is for beer and you mention wine/cider. They do have lots of hardware, yeast etc…
