Thanks for your review and positive comments. On the packaging we will contact you on email to see if we can get a bit more information as we have invested heavily to improve our packaging using the new Shredded cardboard to remove movement in transit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvufuCJjeso

Good purchase

Good purchase, as ordered and delivered promptly. Unfortunately poorly packed and all cans arrived damaged. Some for immediate use so ok. But some to be used at a later date and concerned they may not store well.

Faulty immersion

Brewers Immersion faulty. The add said checked by our expert brews, if that's the case they wouldn't be working for me. Emailed no reply. So not impressed. Please reply to your emails before sending out rewiew questions.

Delay, misinformation and missing piece

I ordered a stater kit and extra pieces to get me going making wine. I expected there would be delays as the order was placed 29th Dec, bank holidays etc. However, after waiting until the New Year was well and truly started I received an email stating the order was complete, when in fact I had not received anything from my order. Dorset Homebrew did apologise for the error. However, after checking the order I was missing a piece, I emailed Dorset Home-brew and to date still not had a reply from their customer services, nor received the missing piece! D Beers.

Starter beer kit

As I was purchasing a starter beer kit for my son I found their web site incredibly helpful, with the different steps/equipment needed - unlike any similar web sites.
They were very helpful and my order was dispatched promptly. I, and my son, will certainly use them again!

Happy Customer!

I’ve been a customer of Dorset Homebrew for around a decade since I found them at wimborne market. Always helpful and friendly, with good advice and all the equipment and kits to keep me in wine and beer whenever I felt the need! Great to have such choice from a local company. Sturdy packaging too, my cat loves it!
