Small Batch Brew Reviews

Pond Ripple Pale Ale is a ripper! Fantastic flavours. Simple to follow and make This brew. Highly Recommended.

The grain bag is very easy to clean – I’m also using it occassionally as a hop sock for my 3v (50L) brews. The thermometer was accurate (I’m a stickler for these things) right out of the box The hop bomb does tend to get a bit clogged at times, and when it does, the pressure from the expanded hops can force it open a little, allowing some hops to escape – but what else do you expect – It’s a hell of a lot cleaner than simply dumping the hops into your boil(. Great products well recommended!

Its a bag to hold stuff…it works perfectly, is easy to clean, etc…what more can I say?

Since I bought this, I’m struggling to remember how I did small brews without it. Because I’m leaving most (but not all) of the trub behind, my beers are coming out cleaner and clearer than ever before.

This is really pretty (and practical) glasswear. Easy to use and it DOESN”T FALL OVER!!! Thanks Anton, loving it!

I purchased a starter kit for my husband. The small batch brew had AMAZING customer service and Not just before the purchase was made. I was able to ask questions about which was best and what was included to make the right purchase then afterwards Anton happily sent us some extra info on how to brew it. (He even replied to me on date night, talk about service). We will definitely be buying from here again. Even home brewing friends who’ve come to check out the goods were surprised by the great quality and are excited to get their hands on some small batch brew merch.

I brewed the Pond Ripple this evening. It smells amazing and was very easy to follow the instructions. Cant wait to see how it turns out! Great Product for a novice like myself!

Awesome product and great customer service

I have brewed the Pond Ripple Pale Ale a couple of times now and its a great beer. Quality ingredients with an easy to follow recipe that has been dialed in to suit the Small Batch Brew equipment and volumes. The advantage of small batches is the ease of brewing and opportunity to try different styles and brews, The disadvantage is that it tastes so damn good that all your mates will drink it on you. Cheers

A compact keg perfect for daisy chaining to an 18 litre keg. I can then take 5 litre keg with me when I go to a party etc. prompt delivery.

love it, very good quality especially for the money. you will not regret purchasing one

Very good product with excellent quality ingredients. Ordered in the morning and was at the door when I got home from work.

I brewed my first small batch with the kit on the weekend – indeed, my first ever home brew. The kit makes it so easy to get started using equipment you already have at home. I also used the Citra Warrior IPA recipe kit which lays out the process at just the right level of detail for the first-time brewer. All in all, the process really was a breeze thanks to this kit and my IPA is now happily fermenting away in the basement. The hard bit will be waiting a month to try it!

I scored a small batch kit for my birthday recently and couldn’t wait to get started so bought this one as my very first brew experience. Loved it. Like opening the batch kit box, opening up this parcel felt like Christmas with all the little goodie bags of grain, brew booster, hops and even some cleaning agent to get your carboy ready. The laminated instructions make this a breeze and the smell that filled the kitchen reminded me of my time spent living near the CUB brewery, glorious. While the beer is currently still fermenting, every day I’m getting more and more excited about ripping into it. My very first brew and undoubtedly one of many to come.

For $100 to get started brewing you can either get a massive cheap plastic kit or a smaller high quality glass kit. I (obviously) went with the latter and am very happy I did. First brew ever was the Splat and Smash Pilsner. Not bad for the first go – though next time I’ll try and get more juice for the initial wort. The thing about brewing small is that I’m already on to the next batch – the amber IPA. If I had a big plastic 23 litre rig I’d be stuck drinking my ‘lite’ Pilsner for the next month and a half. With the 5 litre glass carboy I can make adjustments and actually (hopefully) improve. Thanks!

I ordered this a while ago, and haven’t left a comment in the discussion until prompted by email. However, the all-in-one starter kit is a budget friendly, convenient, and small package that will allow you to get started on your Small Batch Brewing journey. The package takes away the stress of trying to figure out what is needed for a small batch of beer brewing. Aside from that, I am a complete convert to smaller batch brewing now. After 5 brews have fermented in the carboy, I am confident to say that this thing is going to last for a long time before it is in need of being replaced!

Ordered Pond Ripple pale ale. Fast easy ordering and delivery. Put it all together yesterday and it was an easy process with the easy to follow instructions and all the ingredients needed. Really looking forward to tasting now. Cheers. Thank you

Excellent way to start your All Grain Brew experience!

Bought this brew kit for my fella’s birthday. He absolutely loves it ! We have yet to get a brew on, that will be happening on the weekend 🙂 The kit is superb !!

was so excited to receive – i am off to the home brew shop to buy glass bottles in readiness for my brew to be ready.

When i received this product i was 100% over the moon the quality was amazing and price is bang on

I recently ordered one of these and was immediately impressed by the quality of what it contains after having seen some of the other offerings on the shelf of other retailers for a similar price. Great products, even better customer service from the guys at Small Batch Brew Company – I’ve asked near on two dozen questions since ordering and receiving my kit and the responses have been immediate and more than helpful. The guys are genuinely keen to give punters new and experienced alike a great customer and beer making experience. I highly recommend sourcing anything you need from these guys.

Makes preparing for a brew nice and simple. Great software to helps to to work out all the variables beforehand.

Got this as a Christmas pressie for my dad who is notoriously difficult to buy for, and he loved it! He hasn’t had a chance to brew yet, but looking at it the components they all seem very high quality and the instructions easy to follow. The size and price are absolutely perfect for beginners. Can’t wait to taste the results!

I’m a lapsed 20L kit/concentrate brewer but am short on time and wanted to improve the quality of my brews, so small batch brewing appealed to me. I purchased the starter kit about 6 weeks ago. It was delivered quickly and is full of all the gear you need to start small batch brewing. I’ve since joined the Facebook group, have brewed 2 batches and am now looking forward to using the kegging kit my family bought me for Christmas. The gear is all good stuff and the support from Anton has been outstanding, supplemented by friendly help and support from the Facebook group. Great stuff all ’round, highly recommended!

I ordered this midday Sunday and it was delivered the morning of Monday! Great service. Opened the pack and everything looks top quality. Looking forward to getting into my first small batch

I purchased this item for my partner who is a lover of beer and, has always wanted to start a brewery. When he saw it he was absolutely thrilled. An excellent size for any beginner and comes with all the items you need to brew. Amazing customer service, always willing to give any assistance if needed. Can’t wait to start brewing!

Bought this for my boyfriend (huge beer lover) for his birthday. He has never been happier. An awesome gift to give- you will give them bragging rights to all their mates.

Great mini keg I can’t wait for the first use After sales support is second to none

I added this to my initial purchase for the same reasons as part 2. I’m hoping to find combinations of grain and hops that my friends and family as well as myself will enjoy

I added this to my initial purchase because “why not” being small batch means the scope for experimenting is endless. So why not have 2 batches going at once with different grain/hop combinations. Very happy with the speed with which this package was delivered.

I purchased this item and 2 others around 9am this morning. 15/11. 2pm on the dot I had a knock on the door…. it was delivered. Beyond impressed with the service and help I have received from Anton over the last few weeks while I procrastinated with indecisiveness about what to purchase. Thanks again Anton. Very much appreciated.

I recieved my kit today and am extremely happy with my purchase. It’s very well put together and has everything you need for your first small batch. Even more so if you opt for the recipe kit! Keep up the great work, I’ll be a return customer indefinitely!

Being new to small batch brewing I am very happy with my kit and also very happy with the aftersales support and help provided from Anton taking me through the brewing process step by step, I look forward to trying a few different recipes in the near future.

Previously owned a 2-tier mashing set-up. This little set-up takes up one tenth the space and can produce similarly great booze. Love it.

I’ve been brewing with old postmix kegs for years. So much nicer with custom made babies like these. Looking forward to building up a collection. Great bling

I bought two additional brew day fermenting sets with the full bree kit so i could get multiple brews going at once. The carboys are good quality think glass and the binge and airlocks are a great fit and well finished. Very happy!

Bought the kit to begin BIAB brewing. Small Batch Brew were fantastic in providing information and advice to help with my purchase. The kit itself looks great quality and is all as described and was well packaged. Also delivery was super fast! Can’t wait to start brewing. Will definitely ve back for more ingredients soon!

I was so excited to receive my kit and can’t wait until my brew is ready so I can take my mini keg round to a mates house . great gear!
