However, the range available is generally limited to a few basic styles & you cannot get any advice or help from a supermarket.
The terrific thing about S.E. Bingo & Diamond Cue is that you can seek advice for your variuos brewing problems.

ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT
As well as the ingredient kit, you will need some equipment. This will include:
FERMENTER This is the container that you use to make the beer in. This is where the brewing sugars ferment into alcohol It is usually made of food grade plastic & holds 30 litres.
Attached to the fermenter is an AIRLOCK that lets the fermentation gas escape but stops contamination getting into your brew.
There is also a THERMOMETER attached to the side wall so you can keep an eye on the temperature inside (this is important).
It also has a TAP at the bottom which connects to a BOTTLING TUBE & VALVE to make it easy to bottle your beer.
Use A HYDROMETER to test the beer to see if it is ready to bottle or to work out the alcohol content.
When you bottle your beer, you put some ordinary sugar in each bottle. This is called "priming" & you use a PRIMING SCOOP to do it.
You will also need STERILIZER to kill any germs & bugs on your equipment & bottles, CROWN CAPS to seal your bottles & a CAPPING TOOL to close the caps on the bottles.

" S.E. BINGO DIAMOND CUE CAN SUPPLY YOU WITH ALL YOUR BREWING EQUIPMENT NEEDS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS "

USEFUL EXTRAS
There are other items that will make brewing easier for you.
Bottle washing & sterilizing is a frequent task & a BOTTLE BRUSH is always useful.
Sterilizing takes a while if you do it by hand but a BOTTLE BRUSH turns this into a quick & easy job.
A long PLASTIC SPOON or PADDLE is very useful for mixing your ingredients before you make your beer.
Regular beer ingredient kits are supplied with yeast (under the lid) that needs to be kept above 18 ° C to work.
If you put your fermenter in a cold place, a BREW HEATER will solve this problem.
The simple cappers often used by brewers require the use of a mallet or hammer to seal the bottle.
This can result in breakage & they only work on the old style non twist top type bottles.
A MECHANICAL BOTTLE CAPPER makes this job safe, quick & easy & it will work on both regular & twist-top bottles of any size.
