A First For Easy Home Brew

We're very pleased to announce that we have a new range of very high quality 30 bottle wine kits. The Doc's Original kits require no extra sugar and take two to three weeks to ferment. After adding finings and stabiliser, it will be ready to drink a couple of weeks later but would benefit from bulk ageing. These kits have been recommended to us by one of our customers and we are sure you will enjoy them.


We have the following varieties available: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Chablis Style, Shiraz/Merlot, Cabernet/Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.



Belvino Wine Kits Now in Stock

Bit quiet in the shop today, possibly not helped by the weather. We've now got the Belvino kits in stock; we have five different varieties, Classic Red, Rose, California White, Piesporter and Chardonnay. All you need to add is brewing sugar and water to give you wine ready to drink in seven days.

Another Lovely Saturday

Really enjoyed meeting more customers at the shop today. There's nothing I like more than talking about beer and brewing with our customers (except possibly drinking the fruits of our labour). 


Coming soon we've got some pretty exciting products for home brewers and winemakers and some fantastic demonstrations in the pipeline. You can help us by feeding back to us and keep telling us what you want.

Supporting Kent Homebrewers

Home brewers from East (and West) Kent met to share beer and advice at the South East's leading supplier of bottled beer for the first of many monthly meetings. Easy Home Brew, Kent's newest home brewing and winemaking shop, entered into the spirit by providing discount vouchers valid online and instore. 


Situated just outside Canterbury West Railway Station, the Goods Shed offers east of access to brewers from either side of the county. Meetings are scheduled for the 1st Wednesday of each month and start at 7.30pm.
