Brewing process

You start by calling in or phoning to make an appointment. (Bookings are essential).

• The minimum volume you can brew is 50 litres (approx 6 cartons).
• Choose a beer from our list of over 200 different styles.
• We have similar styles to Corona, Tooheys Old, Heineken and Carlsberg. (See our menu).
• Our staff will help you measure out your ingredients and then you are ready to start brewing.

• Following the brewing guide, and with the help of our staff, you add the ingredients as required.
• Finally when the wort is transferred into the fermenter you add the yeast, and the brewing process is complete.
• You now pay for your brew and book a bottling time, which can range from 2-4 weeks depending on your brew.

The whole process usually takes about 70 minutes.

We ensure your brew ferments down to the correct level in our temperature controlled fermentation rooms, maintaining a constant 18°C. This ensures a controlled fermentation and consistent product every time.

ON YOUR BOTTLING DAY

We filter your beer through our three stage filtration system. This ensures a clean, clear and sparkling beer every time.

Finally we carbonate your beer using an electronic carbonator and food grade C02, to once again ensure your brew comes out in perfect form.

Return with your clean bottles. We have bottles for sale, but would prefer you collect your own bottles to minimise your costs. You can also use kegs if you wish.

We help you to sterilise your bottles, then we sample your beer. This is what you have been waiting for, mmmm my beer!!

There are caps and cappers on your table, and we show you how to get started.

To avoid any spoilage, we strongly recommend that you refrigerate your beer as soon as you get home.
