Tom Caxton Beer Kits

Tom Caxton – the name that all home beer makers will remember. Tom Caxton launched the “homebrew” concept and brought this fascinating hobby to the attention of the British public back in the 1970’s by a series of highly visible advertising campaigns and good distribution through High Street outlets.

The name has always been synonymous with quality. You can trust a Tom Caxton beer kit to brew beers of the highest quality and character. This is because Tom Caxton have not compromised on the quality or selection of the raw materials. Caxton kits use only the best malts and hops, providing the home beer maker with a carefully chosen yeast strain known for its hardy and robust character. This yeast strain has the ability to transform the balanced grist formulations into fine beers.

Today you can choose the Tom Caxton beer kit to suit your palate. The range is carefully designed to offer a wide variety of true-to-type beer styles that are simple to make. Take home a “Tom Caxton” today – make it your beer!

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED?

Basic beer making equipment (5g fermenter, airlock, syphon tube with sediment trap, hydrometer, Suresan sanitiser, bottles or barrel). These are available under the starter kit section on this website.

TIPS

We strongly recommend using Pure Brew with this kit in order to achieve a commercial quality. Pure Brew is a professional beer enhancer. It feeds the yeast with essential nutrients, which supercharge the fermentation and support yeast development (even in limited oxygen conditions). Additionally, Pure Brew treats brewing water, eliminating problems caused by Chlorine and Chloramine, which can create a medicinal or, as it is sometimes referred to, a “homebrew” taste. Achieving optimum results in brewing critically depends on the condition of brewing water, but this important area is often overlooked. By using Pure Brew, you can effectively and easily condition brewing water, and maximise effective fermentation.

The addition of beer finings will improve the final quality of your beer. Finings such as Harris Beer Brite will help your beer to clear quickly and the sediment will be more likely to stay at the bottom of bottles or barrels. If you are using Corny Kegs then it is important to clear the beer as much as possible before kegging. Beer Finings will promote a faster and more efficient fall out of sediment and haze particles prior to kegging. Harris Starbrite is a highly effective vegan-friendly beer fining, which is rapidly becoming a firm favourite with home brewers.
