Home Brew Suppliers
Brewers World (Kapiti Lights)
Stocks:
- kits by Muntons, Brewcraft and Mangrove Jacks
- US-05 and SO4 yeast
- Black Rock malt extract
- sanitiser
- fermenters and other equipment.
Prices are steep compared with other outlets, but it’s local and easy to get to if you need something in a hurry. Poor selection of hops. No grains. Does not stock Coopers kits (probably because supermarkets stock them so cheaply).
The Brew House (Newtown)
Excellent selection of all types of brewing supplies. You can visit their shop in Newtown or order online and have your order delivered.
Baylands Brewing (Newlands)
Very good selection of hops and grains. Also stocks malt extract and US-05 and SO4 yeast. Order online and have your order delivered, or pick it up from Newlands on your way home from Wellington. (Pickup needs to be arranged in advance as it’s from a private home, not a shop.)

Golden Bear Brewing
This brewery / restaurant in Mapua now produces fresh wort packs for home brewers. These are all grain brews that (unlike canned kits) have not been dehydrated. They come in 15 litre wine bag style packs for $40. Just open the pack, pour into your fermenter, add extra water if desired, add yeast (not supplied). A true high quality craft beer, and dead easy to make. The recipe and style changes from batch to batch. Once a batch is sold out, a new one is brewed.

Supermarkets
Countdown and Pak n Save in Coastlands both stock cheap Coopers kits, as well as sanitiser, crown caps, and carbonation drops. Many other supermarkets also stock Coopers kits.
