Reduce Waste with a Craft Beer Starter Kit – No Beard Required!

Love beer? Here’s how to reduce your environmental footprint and learn an enviable skill at the same time with the Dark Farm Craft Beer Starter kit and 5L Mini Keg.

The kit comes with a slick 5L stainless steel mini keg and C02 draught system plus all you need to make your brew including top quality grains, hops and yeast. You’ll be able to drink your craft beer after just 2 weeks.

Using a mini keg to store and serve your beer is a great way of reducing waste and food miles. The keg is really solid and built to last, so you can re-use it for years to come. Much better than buying beer in cans and bottles – even if they are recycled afterwards. You’ll also avoid the nasty plastic that holds 4 and 6-packs together. Plus it’s quicker and easier than washing and labelling loads of bottles to store your homebrew in!

The mini keg also allows you to pour the perfect pint with just the right amount of head, so you can turn your fridge or man cave/shed into your dream bar. And it’s ‘plug and play’ so you don’t need to be a draught system expert to use it. The mini keg is fully portable so you can take it to parties, BBQs or your mate’s house to show off your brewing skills.

We noticed a dramatic difference in the amount of waste we were producing when we started brewing our own beer at home, and then storing and pouring from mini kegs. And we love that these starter kits are really easy to use as it makes this amazing hobby accessible to even the complete beginner. Doing something positive for the environment has never been so fun!

The kit comes with your choice of recipe to make your favourite tipple – whether that’s a seasonal Chocolate Orange Milk Stout or a classic English Pale Ale. All are compiled by the brilliant company Home Brewtique, are easy to make and come with great instructions. There’s also an awesome community of homebrewers on the HomeBrew Forum for tips and advice if you want to get nerdy!

The craft beer starter kits make the perfect gift too – it’s a sustainable experience that lasts far beyond that special day. Plus, hopefully,  you’ll get to sample a pint or two. Win-win!
