Fantastic machine
I purchased a MiniBrew GEN 2 with 2 SmartKegs in 2022. I brewed more than 50 batches in 3 years, without any problem. I use my MiniBrew to create and improve my beers, before brewing them in bigger batches.
I you are beginner in brewing, just buy packs and follow the instructions, your beers will be great.
I you are an experienced brewer, MiniBrew is a perfect tool to experiment new styles.
There is a very active community on Facebook and many recipes shared on the MiniBrew portal.
Customer service is quick to answer all your problems.

Hi Remi,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for being part of the MiniBrew family since 2022! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve brewed over 50 batches without a hitch—what an impressive brewing journey.
It’s wonderful to know that MiniBrew GEN 2 has become your go‑to test‑kitchen for recipe development, whether you’re dialling in classic styles or pushing the boundaries with new creations. We designed the SmartKegs and pack‑and‑brew system to be as beginner‑friendly as possible, so it’s great to hear that following our guided kits has yielded such consistently excellent results.
Finally, our support team strives for fast, helpful responses, so we’re glad they’ve been there whenever you’ve needed assistance. We can’t wait to see what you brew next!
Cheers to many more batches,
The MiniBrew Team
I love this product
I love this product. I had to wait for it, but it’s worth the wait.
The subscription is something you have to consider. But for me it was obvious. It’s great making your own recepies.
The great thing about the MiniBrew is that you can brew while working at home. You need 45 min to set everything up and clean your keg. Just do it before you start working and during your lunchbreak you can finish it and put it to clean. Everything should be ready by the end of the day.
Just love it!

Clever Product, Great Support
Despite a delay in the delivery (over a year), the company has been up front and open about timelines. I've had the unit for a while now, and live the simplicity of it. The Brew Packs are great -the kit contains everything you need and the recipe is a simple scam of the QR code. Recently they have had to introduce a subscription based system, but like always communication has been open and quick.

I recently became the owner of a wonderful brewery from Minibrew. For the money, it is wonderful. The positive qualities are the creation of their own recipes and smart kegs. Yes, as everywhere there are shortcomings, but the team is trying to gradually fix the shortcomings and make it even better and better! Thanks to the entire team who is working on creating this miracle!

Great for small batches with not so much effort
As a homebrewer with a 50 liter installation I wanted to brew smaller batches sometimes with less effort. MiniBrew gives me exactly this. All high tech stuff fails sometimes but customer support responds fast and with effective advice or by remotely resetting or editing parameters in the brew setup.
Five stars for me

Superior product
Superior product. Done more than 30 brews now over the past 3 years. Anything from Sour to IPA, Lager, Stouts and much more. Never really thought I would be able to brew beer, but MiniBrew enabled me to do so with a simple setup where brewing doesn’t take away too much time from family and doesn’t require much space. With no past experience I’m able to brew really good quality beer, which also convinced s friend mine to get a minebrew and now my wife got me an additional keg so I can step up the game. Great product for someone like me who wants to try different things and mainly brew for myself and on occasions bringing a keg to a party

I brought the Gen 2 MiniBrew when it first come out for sale,
This machine is amazing and made brewing again enjoyable.
Had one problem with one of the kegs which was dealt with and shipped off within 3 days and didn’t take long to get it back.
Could not fault the support.
Great company and great machine 👍

Awesome all in one professional brewing system for any skill level
Fantastic product, works well, makes great beer. Support always responsive and excellent with any queries or niggles. Shipping was moderately fast from Holland to UK. Subscription model has been introduced/altered but reasonable for what is on offer; this is a premium one of a kind product. App experience differs between iPhone and Android and not without issue but being gradually addressed and usable. Cooling for the smart kegs is slightly less efficient than my expectations hoped as they use a peltier system, so if ambient temp is hot don't expect fridge cold but still drinkable cool.

Hi Nathan,
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the brew quality and that our support team has been responsive to any questions or niggles. It’s also wonderful that your order quickly shipped from Holland to the UK.
We appreciate your thoughts on the subscription model—it’s designed to deliver ongoing value, and we’re glad you find it reasonable for a one‑of‑a‑kind system.
Thanks, too, for flagging the differences between iPhone and Android apps; we have moved from app to web-based brewing, which should simplify things.
Regarding keg cooling, you’re right that our Peltier‑based system won’t match a full fridge in very hot ambient conditions. We’re exploring ways to boost efficiency, but we’re happy it still delivers pleasantly cool pours.
Thanks again for your honest review and for choosing MiniBrew—happy brewing!
Cheers

Great way to brew beer at home
I have been a customer of Minibrew for a year now. This is a great way to learn how to brew beer. Unit is very compact and has a tons of features in such a small form factor. You can use ready made brewpacks or create your own recipes using local supply of malts etc. I never thought that I can make myself great NEIPA at home. Another great thing is very active user community at FB where you can get help always.
