Real beer is made from malted barley, hops, yeast and water. While a homebrew recipe may occasionally call for a special additional ingredient, and most will use a bit of sugar to produce carbonation after bottling, it's a good idea to stick closely to the basics. All-malt beers have deeper color, better body and richer flavor than those produced with adjuncts such as corn, rice, sugar or unmalted barley.

- Bottle Filler: Spring-valve tubing attachment for dripless, gravity_fed bottling.
- Bottle Brush: A specially sized and shaped brush for cleaning those bottles with accumulated sediment.
- Thermometer: An adhesive thermometer which is attached to the fermenter to monitor brewing temperature.
- Hydrometer: An instrument to measure initial and final specific gravity of a liquid. It permits monitoring of the fermentation process and indicates when fermentation is complete.
