Care & Maintenance
After each brew session the app guides you through a full cleaning routine for both the base station and Smart Keg. Follow the on-screen instructions — the process is straightforward and ensures your next batch tastes exactly as it should.
Base Station
The base station runs an automatic cleaning programme after every brew and a rinse cycle before the next one. For the exterior, wipe down any spillages or residue with a damp cloth after each brew. Avoid abrasive cloths, caustic sprays, or bleach-based cleaning products. Wipe dry with a clean paper towel. Never submerge the base station in water or expose it to direct moisture.
Smart Keg
The Smart Keg requires an overnight soak after each batch. For a deeper clean, use Chemsan cleaning solution diluted according to the instructions before reassembling. The keg disassembles in seconds for a thorough rinse between batches.
Dishwasher Safe Parts
All yellow components are dishwasher safe.
Mash Tun
Hand wash only. Some dishwashers run aggressive high-heat programmes that can damage the mash tun. A gentle hand wash after each brew is all that's needed.
Water Connection
Check the water connection fitting regularly for limescale buildup, particularly in hard water areas.

The Minibrew Difference
The Minibrew Difference
One Keg. Every Stage.
Most brewing systems need separate vessels for every stage. The MiniBrew Smart Keg does all of it in one — brewing, fermenting, carbonating, and serving. Raw grain to perfect cold pint, without ever transferring your beer.

Every stage of your brew is monitored and controlled in real time — from your phone, tablet, or any browser. Check fermentation temperature, track progress, and get notified the moment your beer is ready to pour. No need to be in the room. No need to guess.

Fermentation on Autopilot
The Smart Keg automatically adjusts heating or cooling to maintain the ideal fermentation temperature — regardless of room conditions. It works within a 19°C range, best suited to ambient temperatures up to 25°C. When fermentation is complete, cold crash at the press of a button to clarify your beer and prepare it for serving.

Flavour your way
The MiniBrew hop carrier holds up to 6 additions of 10–15 gram hop pellets or fruit — added automatically at precisely the right moment during the brew. A built-in brew filter catches the hop bags so nothing unwanted ends up in your keg. Want more depth? A hop stand during fermentation lets you add aroma and flavour after the boil, giving you the same technique used by professional craft breweries.

Where it all begins
From grain to wort — watch your ingredients transform inside the same keg that will serve your first pint.
Your first pour
Cold, fresh, pub-quality craft beer. Brewed in your kitchen. Poured from your keg.
Technical features
Every component engineered for one purpose — help you brew beer like a professional. Perfect beer, every batch.
One vessel, every stage
Stainless steel SS304 boiler with polyfoam insulation maintains stable temperatures from brewing through fermentation and serving. Conical base uses gravity to separate trub naturally.
Peltier heating and cooling
ThermoElectric Cooling (TEC) module heats or cools your beer automatically. Dual temperature sensors in the top and bottom of the keg maintain ±0.5°C accuracy throughout fermentation.
Rapid heating to 100°C
The integrated heater brings 6 liters from 20°C to 100°C in under 37.5 minutes. Precise mash temperature steps held at 62°C, 66°C, 72°C, 78°C, and 100°C — the same control used in professional breweries.
Integrated wort cooling
After boiling, a cool-water tube inside the heater profile rapidly chills your wort from 100°C to pitching temperature — ready for yeast in under 30 minutes. No separate chiller needed.
Mash Tun with dual filter plates
The transparent Tritan BPA-free mash tun holds up to 2.3kg of malt between two precision filter plates. Water is pumped through the mash bed from below for maximum extraction efficiency.
Sparge plate and steam condenser
The mash tun lid features a built-in sparge plate that distributes hot water evenly over the mash bed after brewing. It also catches condensed steam during boiling, keeping it off your wort.
NFC recipe transfer
The base station writes your recipe, WiFi credentials, and fermentation schedule directly to the Smart Keg via NFC. Once detached, the keg knows exactly what to do — independently, without staying connected to the base.
Ball valve and trub removal
The keg's conical base and bottom ball valve allow you to drain trub — spent yeast and particles — cleanly after fermentation. Simply open the valve, remove the trub container, and your beer stays clean.
Growler lid with dry-hop hook
The stainless steel growler head seals to the keg with a 2-turn thread. Inside, a dedicated anchor point holds your dry-hop or hop-stand bag during fermentation for maximum aroma.
CO₂ carbonation and dispensing
Compatible with standard 16g threaded CO₂ cartridges and SodaStream-style connectors. Ball-lock quick connectors on the growler head make switching between carbonating and serving seamless.
Clean-in-place (CIP) system
The dedicated CIP container connects to the machine for a fully guided automatic cleaning cycle. The app walks you through every step. All yellow components are dishwasher safe. Mash tun requires hand wash only.
Food-grade materials throughout
Every component in contact with wort or beer is food grade. The mash tun is BPA-free Tritan. The boiler and growler head are SS304 stainless steel. Silicone tubing is tested for taste and odour neutrality.
