The Original Cellar Mini-Brewery is a single stage system designed for the beginning brewer. It includes all necessary supplies for your first batch of homebrew, except for empty bottles and a boiling kettle. Ingredients for one batch are included, and you may choose the beer style below.

We also offer an upgrade to the kit. The Mini-Brewery Upgrade includes a second fermentor and the necessary accessories for two-stage fermentation.

For those who have purchased the Mini-Brewery and would like to duplicate a batch of the included ingredients, our Ingredient Refills and EZ-Brew Refill Kits may also be found on this page.

This kit will produce quality homebrewed beer, ready to drink in 4 weeks.

Complete Instructions

Light Wheat: A very light, refreshing recipe in the style of the German Weiss beers. This beer is often served with a slice of lemon to complement the wheat character. Red Ale: Malt and hop flavor is apparent in this recipe, with Crystal Malt adding a touch of sweetness and a deep amber color.
Light Lager: The clean, crisp flavor of the light lager is more like the major American brands, but with slightly more malt and hop flavor. Dark Porter: The use of roasted grains in this recipe leads to a clear dark brown color and slight roastiness, while maintaining a smooth, easy drinking flavor.

MINI-BREWERY UPGRADE

Add this upgrade to the above Cellar Mini-Brewery to create a two-stage system. Two-stage fermentation allows the brewer more flexibility and generally produces a cleaner-tasting beer. During fermentation, the beer is transferred into the secondary fermentor, isolating it from the collected sediment. This process minimizes the yeast flavor in the finished product and produces a beer of cleaner appearance and flavor. While this method is required for quality lagers and other longer-fermenting beers, beer of any style will be greatly improved by two-stage brewing.

Ingredient Refills for Mini-Brewery
Our beginning ingredient kits were formulated to respond to our customers' increasing knowledge of the beer world, and their demand for high quality brews from the get go. These refills include one can of Alexander's malt extract, one malt extract kicker, fresh hops, specialty grains, yeast, priming sugar, and 50 bottle caps. Compared to canned kits, the inclusion of fresh hops and specialty grains adds a few simple steps to the brewing process--but does wonders for the final result. For beginning brewers who wish to brew a lighter-bodied beer with a more simplified brewing process, we recommend our EZ-Brew Refill Kits. For brewers wishing to expand their beer horizons, we recommend brewing to style with one of our Recipe Ingredient Kits.

EZ-Brew Refill Kits
For our continuing customers, or for beginners wishing to simplify the brewing process as much as possible, we still supply our previous refill kits. The use of hopped extract and brewing sugar in these kits produces a lighter style, with less hop and malt flavor in the finished product. The EZ-brew kits consist of 1 Coopers malt extract can (hopped), 1 package of dry yeast, 2 lbs. of corn sugar, 3/4 cup priming sugar, and 50 bottle caps.
