Extract Brewing

If you’ve been searching the internet you will have seen a lot about ‘extract brewing’. Like a kit, you buy a couple of tins of malt extract, but you make a beer more to your taste by boiling it with hops. This provides a more stable and tastier beer. While popular in the US, it is not a particularly common method of brewing in the UK. However if you want to brew a better beer than is possible from a kit it’s a step forward – the only extra equipment you’ll need is a big stockpot – 20 litres or more – or a home brewing boiler.

Have a look at this article at Jim’s Beer Kit for more information, alternatively there is this excellent ‘How To‘ at The Homebrew Forum.
