Homebrew Wine & Beer Yeasts
Choosing the yeast to use in your homebrew beer or wine is not just about turning sugar to alcohol during fermentation. Yeasts do more than that. There are thousands of different strains of yeast and they all produce different flavours and feel.
Yeast don't just eat sugar either. They consume other compounds in the liquor and convert these into new ones. This is why grape juice doesn't taste like wine. It has been chemically altered by the wine yeast and the fermentation process.
Yeasts produce lots of different flavours while they are fermenting your beer, lager, wine or cider. Some work well in beer, but don't work well in wine. So selecting a beer yeast to give the flavour you want is crucial. Yeast can also cause a beer to be hazy, so it's all about the look too.
Shop our range of the most popular yeast brands for brewing wine, beer, champagne, cider and lager.
A small sachet will easily ferment 25 litres. However, even if you are making a smaller quantity, just use the whole sachet. Yeast have to multiply and will keep multiplying until they have filled the vessel, simply adding more in at the beginning will just help speed up the process and your fermentation will begin sooner.

You will have the fermenter foaming all over the floor and walls but you will have the real quality that you want .
Made fruit wines of all types for years and on some as a hobby , had a go last year base level wine kit and so so ,a bit sweet ok if you only want to get well oiled . But this added to a kit is wow for a nearly sixty year old wine drinker just try adding half the bottle to your next 30 bottle kit you will never go back.
Very good works a treat.makes the wine look professional and attractive to the coinesseur.
I made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
Excellent product , delivered safely and promptly
My second time of ordering. Over Christmas, brewbitz were also extremely helpful when I had a change of shipping address.
Really top rate product. The neck hole is the correct size for rubber bungs, Nylon fermentation bungs & Safety Bungs, unlike that which others are selling.
I had run out of camden tablets, the fresh supply halted any residual fermentation prior to bottling, Banana Wine clears without any intervention,I reccomend it.
A really good bit of kit, saves a lot of time & hassle filling your bottles. Once you do a few adjustments your good to go. It is also well made. All in all a really good addition to your brewing set up
Great tasting wine with easy to follow instructions
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant can’t fault there website , delivery service, 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I looked everywhere for this size washer to fit the taps on my fermentor - delivered fast and as described :-)
the family love it, getting more visits than usual.lol
Needed to boost my white wine stock so I tried this kit. Easy to make but did take a couple of days longer to complete fermentation than specified. Having said that, it's December and the fermentation room is cool. Whilst I used a heater pad with temperature control, I think the fermentation conditions were not perfect. Hence the extra day or two. The bulk of the brew is waiting polishing but I did run a sample through a gravity filter for tasting. Very pleased with the result even though it has had no time to mature :-)
A very good kit supplied by a very reliable supplier
, it's a great favourite of all of my friends when we have a get together.
