A brew kit is the first thing most anglers add after the rods, and the one piece of kit that gets used on every session whatever the fish are doing. It is four things: a kettle, a stove, the gas to run it and a bag to keep them together. Here is how they fit.
The kettle
A 1.1 litre kettle makes two mugs from one boil and is the size most people settle on. NGT's 1.1 litre aluminium kettle weighs 170g with a folding handle, and the fast boil version adds a heat trap on the base that NGT rate at up to 30% more efficient, which means less gas and a shorter wait. A solo angler on a short session can go down to the 0.8 litre kettle, which comes with a spoon and its own case.
The stove
A screw-on stove threads straight onto the top of a gas canister and folds to the size of a fist. The compact screw-on stove is the one to start with; the high output stove boils faster in a wind. If you want to cook as well as boil, the twin stove with griddle runs a kettle and a pan side by side.
The gas, and which canister fits
The screw-on stoves above run on the standard threaded 450g butane and propane canister. One can lasts a good number of brews, and buying them six at a time or by the dozen keeps the price per can down. The smaller 227g canisters sold in supermarkets fit the same stoves with NGT's gas adaptor between the two, which is worth carrying for the day you run out miles from a tackle shop. A neoprene cover stops the can rattling round the bag and holds the lighter with it.
The bag
The insulated brew kit bag is sized for a kettle, a canister, the cover and a lighter, with mesh pockets for teabags and sugar. Keep the whole brew kit in it and it goes on the barrow as one item and never gets left behind.
Or buy it made up
The fully loaded brew kit is a 5 litre water container with a tap, a stove, a 1.1 litre kettle, two cups, three pots, a spoon, a bag and a gas canister in one order. The solo brew bundle is the one-person version.
- Cooking equipment for every kettle, stove, pan and toastie maker in the range.
- Camping for the tables, lights and shelters a brew kit lives beside.
