Description

The Brewie is something of a unicorn in the all-in-one brewing system world. The original manufacturer was forced to close down production, so these units are becoming harder and harder to find. Unfortunately, this means that they are no longer covered by a manufacturer's warranty and all sales are final. But there is a dedicated community of Brewie enthusiasts that banded together to provide open-source software updates, bug fixes, and general support to any and all Brewie owners. We highly recommend you visit rebrewie.org to see what the community has put together and how they've breathed new life into an awesome brewing system.

fully automated all grain brewing machine that allows you to brew with minimal time investment. Introducing the Brewie Plus - now lighter, faster and stronger. Having shaved off nearly 15 lbs, the Brewie+ is noticeably easier to move around. Updated heating elements bring your strike water to temp and wort to boil faster, significantly decreasing the overall brewing process time. !

This unit can produce up to 5 gallons of wort without any supervision. The process is simple, add the ingredients and start the recipe program. You will have chilled wort, ready to be pitched when the process is complete.  There is even a cleaning cycle you can run after you have pumped the wort into your sanitized fermenter!

Beginner and advanced brewers alike will love the simplicity of crafting and executing their own recipes using ingredients of their choice.   No more standing over your kettle and waiting.  

Works great with most MoreBeer! All Grain Brewing Kits. Choose kits that have 17 or less pounds of malt and four or less hop additions during the brewing process. 

 

Features:

  • Boiling, mashing, and hopping tanks are all stainless steel
  • Digital touch screen display to control all features
  • Built in weight sensors to ensure the exact amount of water is added
  • 4 individual hop tanks to allow for separate additions of hops during the boil, each with programmable times
  • The Brewie's tubing allows you to sparge automatically or manually
  • The built in cooler chills the wort before fermentation (connection to a water source is required)
  • 3 self-clean programs (quick, full & sanitize) take the work out of cleanup
  • Flexibility to use house water through the provided supply line or external water
  • Can handle grain bills of up to 17.5 lbs with a recommended water-to-grist ratio of 1.2 qts/lb

What's New:

  • 18% lighter machine for easier handling

Whats the average efficiency?
Dockins Lee on Jul 7, 2018
BEST ANSWER: In my experience with it, it never did much better than about 58% brewhouse efficiency. But to be fair to it, I didn't experiment much with grain crush, mash thickness, etc.
Does this require a 240V outlet or is it a standard USA 120V?
Mark Johnson on Mar 17, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Standard US 120V outlet
What is the highest gravity you can pull with this thing? 17 or so pounds of grain are advertised.....anyone have any luck in that range without sacrificing efficiency?
todd batteau on Feb 20, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I struggle to get more than 1.069 out of a 16.5 lb grainbill
How long does it take to chill the wort? Can it be modified with a wort chiller or glycol chiller?
Rick Hofeld on Jul 8, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It has a built-in plate chiller, so wort chills automatically on the way out if you have it hooked to a water supply.
Dimensions? Is that 29” wide, 18” high and 13” front to back?
Charles Bash on Jun 8, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Mine measures Height=18 5/8” (includes units feet), Length=28”, Depth=12 3/4”Enter an answer to this question.
Is this model that MoreBeer is selling the updated newer version of the B+ unit? Does it have the proper heating element wires fixed? Thank you.
Nathaniel Reynolds on Aug 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: This is the updated Brewie+ unit, not the original Brewie.

Great concept...totally unreliable
I bought the Brewie to do a lot of experiments on about a four-gallon scale. When it works, it makes it possible to work more batches into everything else you might have going on in your life. But then it doesn't work - the controller will hang or skip brew steps - leaving you with wasted ingredients or making you drop every thing you are doing to salvage the batch by breaking out the old school all-grain set up. Nearly half of my batches have suffered from these problems (3 out of 7) and, as near as I can tell, the company has gone under or just doesn't respond. Super frustrating.

Really wanted it to work
Broke down after first run. basically ruined two brews I had to flush. Good idea, but just to unstable. The excellent return policy at Morebeer came in handy.

Totally worth it!
So i was waiting for quite long to make a purchase because there were some bad comments on Brewie's customer service but after reading about all other brewing equipment and seeing that they have just as much bad comments i realized that there are always customers who complain. So i got one and i would strongly suggest to everyone to do the same!
I have my Brewie for 2 months now and made about 8 batches. This thing is the best what i have ever seen on the market! It really does everything! I now have time to work or take the wifey to some place while i am making my beer at the same time. With the mobile app i can check anytime the brewing process - which i find more convenient than the lcd display. Again, i strongly recommend to get a Brewie over everything else on the market. Trust me i tried almost every other product before Brewie.

Terrible Reliability & Buggy Software
I've had the Brewie 3 months and successfully completed three brews. On the fourth brew the machine stopped working and will no longer power on. I contacted Brewie customer support and am still waiting 10 days later without any resolution in sight.

Do yourself a favor and skip the Brewie until they've figured out their reliability problems. I thought that the Brewie Plus had these problems figured out, but if you do some research you'll see that's not really the case.

In the brews that I did complete with the Brewie it didn't really save me that much time because I had to keep an eye on the machine just like a normal brew. In one instance I had a stuck sparge and it overflowed the mash tank and I barely caught it before I had wort everywhere. In another instance the machine's software skipped a mashing step and tried to move right to mash out without doing the saccharification rest. In yet another in just a cleaning cycle the machine almost overflowed the boil tank.

I really love the idea of this machine, but the execution is quite poor.

Yup, I did it!
It took quite a while to make the decision to buy an automated brewing system. For me, a lot of the enjoyment of brewing beer is the actual brewing process and being hands on. Having started with extract kits it didnt take long for me to move up to all grain. I have brewed for some time on a home-built keggle system of my own design before moving up to the Brewie+ and I have to say using my new Brewie+ IS just as much FUN! I have not used a Brewie Pad but I did buy two all grain kits to brew to "get used to" the Brewie. Don't think that the Brewie will take the fun out of your brew days. You are still in complete control, especially if you create your own recipies outside of the Brewie Pad offerings. It did take some trial runs to become accustomed to the Brewie and it is imperative that you accurately calibrate the machine. I just completed the 3rd brew in the first week of my Brewie ownership, a German Roggenbier. The Brewie was excellent throughout the entire process, all the numbers were spot on. I had concerns about a stuck sparge having brewed a rye beer so soon but the Brewie+ pulled it off, even with NO rice hulls in the grain bed! It's fermenting now and I cant wait to get that bad boy in a keg! It's a bunch of coin up front but I can already tell it was a good investment. The Brewie+ gets a well-deserved 5 star rating from this home brewer. I highly recommend the Brewie+

was totally worth the wait
I've waited 3 months to receive the unit, but ever since I received it (mid-September) I can't stop trying my recipes. Take care to always update the software to the latest one and to calibrate it - if done, no problems should occur. It's really fun, try it out if you can, much easier than my previous homemade setup.

Gamechanging tech!
I've received the unit a few weeks ago, and I gotta say, it was really worth the money and the waiting! It was really nerve-wracking though to keep positive through all the delays and issues, but ever since I got my Brewie, I'm beyond happy! Look at this beauty! I haven't used a system like this before, so here is some feedback: 1. Always check the amount of water in the recipe creator! It really helps a lot! 2. Long, loooooong mashing. I didn't quite get the importance - my first batch reached 48% brewhouse efficiency with 40 minutes of mashing on 68C, and my second reached 72% with a little agitating and 120 minutes of mashing on 3 steps! Yeyy! 3. Reach out to Brewie! They were sooo hard to reach in January but since then, they hired a few hands or other, because they are super helpful and FAST. At last!

Buy one.
I wanted to wait until I had a chance to brew a few times before reviewing this unit. Having brewed on it three times now I can safely say that, so far, the Brewie Plus is amazing. It works exactly as advertised. Just enter the details of whatever you are brewing (I use my own recipes not the brewie pads), set the mash, sparse, boil, and hop parameters and then press brew. I will still frequently check up on it to make sure everything is going as it should but the automation makes the brew day much more relaxed. If you’re a busy person like me who generally can’t afford to spend 5+ hours of undivided attention to your brew day, the Brewie Plus is for you. I’m excited for the level of beer experimentation this system will allow me. And if all of that wasn’t enough, it’s damn good looking too. I know this company had some issues with gen 1 of the Brewie but it would appear that they have addressed any such problems with the Brewie Plus. I cannot say enough good things about this system and if I could give a higher than 5 star review I would. Seriously, buy one.

Happy with this purchase
I received the B20+ on a Tuesday and had brewed 2 beers by Friday. I tried winging it on the mash and sparge and got pretty poor efficiency(48%) on the first beer and reached out to MoreBeer! and the got back to me right away with suggestions and pointers for increasing my efficiency, I also reached out to Brewie through facebook messenger and they also responded very quickly and got back to me with excellent pointers as well. I would say that I am super happy with customer service so far, the only thing this unit is lacking is a high level kill for the pumps, using 15.25 lbs of various barley malts I got a "stuck sparge" it was pumping in faster than it was pumping out, this led to a few liters of wort spilling over the sides of the unit, before I was able to jostle the grain bag enough to get the wort flowing through the grain bed again. Regardless of what type of grains are used I will now always use rice hulls.
Even with that issue I still love this thing and recommend it, it is so awesome having a busy life with kids to be able to start a brew day on a whim and spend only 15 mins of active time.
