Minibrew Brewpacks are the recipe kits required to brew small-scale batches of home-brew beer using the Minibrew; a selection can be found in the shop.

You can find details about each recipe in our shop. However, these packs are sometimes out of stock and can't be found on our website. 

The brewing part on the base station always follows the same steps: mixing the malt, adding hops to the carousel, mashing, boiling and cooling. 
The fermentation part in the keg differs alot between recipes, so a schedule can be found below.
