Overview
We're here to let you enjoy and share fresh local craft beer. MiniBrew is the only system on the market that actually makes beer. It will let you start with zero experience brew your favourites. Specially designed for people who love quality above quantity and like to experiment . We've build a machine that's better and smaller than ever before. This is your chance to become a craft brewer.
 
 
We're extremely happy to meet our funding goal, but it doesn't stop there.
 
 We created MiniBrew to let everybody enjoy fresh craft beer anywhere anytime.
 
 This is your chance to become a craft brewer.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Brewing beer is all about timing, temperature control, and cleaning. MiniBrew simplifies the task and reduces the time by helping you to create 5 Liters of fresh local craft beer in 3 simple steps.

 

 

 
 
 
Get access to craft beers from microbreweries around the world who are otherwise hard to find or not available in your city. The added benefit of brewing yourself is that you drink directly from your brewery rather than bottled or canned version that is over 3 or more months old.
 
 
 

MiniBrew lets you start with zero experience and brew high quality beers just from home.

The MiniBrew App helps you to discover new beer styles that match your mood. 

When you visit a bar and discover a great beer, you can pick the same recipe, order the ingredients through the MiniBrew app and brew up your own batch.

The actual brewing only takes 3,5 hours, followed by the fermentation lasting anything from 4 days for a “lighter beer” to two weeks for a "strong beer". 

Both the MiniBrew and the SmartKeg have the brains to control every part of the process with great accuracy. They connect with WiFi so you can control and monitor the process anytime, anywhere. 

Everything is designed around a digital brew DNA. All brews are repeatable, so you can enjoy your favourite taste over and over again. All the way from grain to glass. Straight from your kitchen

The MiniBrew has an automatic cleaning process, all you need to do is add is a dishwasher tablet and start the process with the app. The system will be fully cleaned and parts such as the mash tun plates are dishwasher proof.

With our system, you’ve got everything you need to brew, ferment and tap in a compact and affordable package. The Smartkeg assures the beer is always at the right temperature, anytime, anywhere.

With our unique single-vessel system there’s no more transferring, this means no hassle and risk of contamination and oxidation. The only time when air or light hit your beer is when you pour your beer straight from the Smartkeg into your glass. MiniBrew is full Proof.  

With one MiniBrew, you can use multiple kegs to keep the beer flowing. 

After pouring your beer, active cooling keeps your beer in perfect condition from 3 up to 6 months. From our personal experience, it's often empty within a weekend ;) - Multiple kegs is necessary. More variety and fresh beers.

With MiniBrew, you can start brewing in under 5 mins with a ready to go ingredient pack. Containing only fresh ingredients, such as grind malt, hops, yeast and Co2. Ordered within the app and gets delivered to your doorstep.

Timeline pre-packs up to open source

MiniBrew launches with ready-to-go ingredient packs to assure the best quality from the beginning.  

After launch, you’ll also be able to create your own recipes by experimenting with different types of malt and hops to make a beer that fits your individual needs.

When you’re experienced Mini-Brewer (10 times + brewing) you can even adjust the parameters, such as boiling time or time settings when to add the hops.

We created a recipe collection of classic beer styles ranging from white to stout for you to choose from. And already over 110 micro breweries from as far as New Zealand all the way to Brazil are lining up to also make their signature recipes available on the MiniBrew for you to brew.

Android version will be pushed live in Q2 2019.

Have a look what big beer experts in the industry say about MiniBrew.

 

We are collaborating with small craft breweries to create specific recipes for you. One of these micro brewers is Scott Steffens of Dois Corvois. One of the greatest Portuguese breweries. He made three distinguished beers that reflect undiscovered freshness. Here is his story

 

With friends, our Beta backers, we’ve done multiple brew tests to make every aspect of the machine better. Here is a time lapse of the full brew.

We are working with a great factory partner with a strong experience in building liquid beverages machines based in Shenzhen, the Silicon valley of Hardware. 

At Minibrew, we believe that creating your own fresh craft should be as easy as making fresh coffee.

We’ve worked hard to get to overcome all challenges, and improved the machine with a big leap forward. It makes the machine more simple and smart to become a lean and mean brewing machine. The evolution of MiniBrew from left to right!

We set out to produce MiniBrew, which evolved into the beta machine for our backers

We have done over 500+ brew test batches to assure the best brew quality beer. We’re now away 1 month away from Manufacturing design and we will have our first samples in the beginning of 2018.

We need your support to start producing.

General

MiniBrew is almost complete. All brewing machines shown on this page and in the video were built in house for our beta backers. We’re currently in production stage at our factory and are ready to meet the estimated delivery time of September 2018. The machine that will be produced can deviate from the beta machine. The only thing we need is your support to help us fulfil our mission . Without you we can't turn this into a reality

Forecasting Risk

We’ve done everything to forecast demand and create a solid manufacturing plan. We’ve learned a lot from the past year, but sometimes forecasts don’t always hit the mark. Should we miss projections, we’ll let you know why and make it right as quickly as possible

Supply Chain Risk

We’ve built a very capable team who have worked on supply value chains. However, component delays and unexpected shortages can occur. If this happens, we’ll be sure to keep you informed and work to quickly solve the problem.

AVAILABILITY 

Q: Where does your machine work?

Our machine will work on all continents, such as 240 Volt (EU) and 110 Volt (USA) or 220V (Brazil)

Q: When can I expect my machine?

A: We have a delivery time of 10 months. Expect your Minibrew in September 2018

INGREDIENTS?

Q: Can I use my own ingredients, or even adjust the parameters?

A: At launch, you can use only pre-packed ingredients boxes from MiniBrew of microbreweries. This assures success from the beginning. After the launch, we'll open the system so you can use your own ingredients. And in a future phase when you have experience, define your own settings.

Q: Will microbreweries deliver ingredients?

A: No, we work with suppliers where microbreweries buy their ingredients.  After you order ingredients through the app, we assure you get a box at home. 

SOFTWARE

Q:What kind of operating system will run?

A: Our mobile app will run on iOS first and later around on Android in the Q2 of 2019 

Q: What will cost the app?

The app will cost you nothing. You can discover brew recipes, even when you don’t have a machine. Although we encourage you to have a machine to use the full potential of our app.

PRODUCTION

Q: When will you start production?

A: Right now, we’ve started our production phase

Q: Can I choose my own design?

A: Not at the moment, although if you want a gold version we’re open to chat.

Q: What are the final MiniBrew dimensions?

A: The production model will be even smaller than showcased in the video 42 cm wide x 53 cm high.
