Minibrew is an all-in-one 5l system operated via the cloud that can be used to brew styles such as lagers and IPAs to imperial stouts and kettle sours.

The system, which is now it its final testing phase, is currently being tested by breweries such as Brew by Numbers, Gipsy Hill, Northern Monk, Pressure Drop, Siren and Verdant.

Ben Rymer, Minibrew UK lead, explained: “As with all new exciting technology you only really understand what is possible when you release it to the world. 

“Breweries have already come back with multiple uses for the Minibrew machinery outside its obvious use as a test batch brewery – things like deliberately creating off flavours for training and process refinement.

“I’m sure there are many more uses we haven’t thought of on the horizon, and that’s what’s so exciting about putting this state-of-the-art brew tech in the hands of the experts.”

Other UK breweries are also being invited onto the Minibrew platform while it crowdfunds on Crowdcube.

That deal gets you equity, a machine with three kegs and exclusive access to the beta cloud platform.
