Choosing the right ingredients can help you recreate a clone of your favorite beer or create an incredibly unique homebrew. You’ll find an endless supply of beer brewing ingredients at Adventures in Homebrewing from basic ingredients like hops, malted grains, malt extract, and fermentable sugar, to all the fun adjuncts that can make for a beer catered to your preferences.
Before you start adding spices and extra flavors, you can find an introduction to hops, malt and grains in our blog article, “Making Beer and Exploring Ingredients.”
Need some recipe inspo? Our Beer Recipe Archive has just about every beer style you can think of.
We have over 50 varieties of grains sold by the pound, as well as 50-55lb bags of uncrushed grains. Extract brewers can also choose from dry malt extract or liquid malt extract.
You can choose specific varieties of pellet hops for different flavors and aroma or go by different levels of HBU (home bittering unit), use whole leaf hops for dry hopping, or grow your own with our hop rhizomes. Add bitterness, flavor, and aroma during boil with hop resin extract (which you can learn more about hop resin extract here) or with Cryo hops, which have 2x the resin of regular hop pellets and are dosed at ½ the weight and can be the perfect addition to any juicy, resinous, hop-forward recipe.
Billions of fresh yeast cells are ready to make their way into your wort and turn it into beer - whether that’s from packs of dry yeast or pouches of liquid yeast. Lager, ale, wine, cider, and so many more - you’ll find a large variety of beer yeast offerings from White Labs, Wyeast, and Omega, as well as Lalvin and Red Star wine yeast.
Unleash the full flavor potential of your brews with natural sweeteners. Honey adds complexity, while sugar can boosts alcohol content and contributes to aroma, color, and body.
Here you’ll also find ingredients for carbonation, increasing ABV, adding sweetness or body to your beer, including priming sugar, maltodextrin, lactose, Belgian candi syrup, rice solids, sorghum, and other beer brewing sugars.
Variety is the spice of life - and your beer. Ignore the German purity law of Reinheitsgebot that says beer can only be made of water, barley, and hops. Instead, add fun adjuncts to your heart’s desire! Choose from a wide variety of oak chips, cubes, and spirals, as well as beer spices, Lorann Flavoring Oils, beer flavoring, and coca nibs. You can also choose from many types of beer finings including Irish moss, gelatin finings, and Clarity Ferm - and if you aren’t sure which fining agent is right for your next batch, “A Simple Guide to Beer Brewing Additives” can help you decide which additive is right for you and your beer.
We also offer a variety of brewing salts and treatments so you can make your perfect beverage.
