Hops and Malts Microbrewery

The Process
Step 1
Just call in or phone to make a booking. At your appointment time, come in & select a beer from our extensive range of over 160 beers. Our staff will give you a recipe of your choice. You then measure our quality ingredients into containers supplied that are added at the appropriate time.

After brewing time of approx 60 minutes, your beer will be ready to transfer into a fermenter, where you will pitch the yeast to start the fermenting process.

You now need to make a date/time for bottling, minimum of two weeks from brewing date. Payment at this point is required.

Step 2
We place your brew into our fermentation room to ensure a controlled fermentation, so you get a quality premium beer every time.

On your bottling day, we cold filter your beer through our three stage filtering system. This ensures a clean clear crisp sparkling beer.

Lastly your beer will be carbonated using a state-of-the-art electronic carbonator ready for you to bottle or keg.

Step 3
Return on your bottling day with clean bottles (144 x 345ml stubbies or whatever combination). We have bottles for sale or you can keg it if you wish.

We will assist you to sterilise your bottles using our bottle rinser/sanitiser, after which you can sample your beer.

You now complete the bottling and capping process approx. 60 minutes (while sampling for quality).

Place the bottles in strong boxes, for the trip home to enjoy.

Your beer must be stored in a refrigerator to keep it fresh and avoid spoilage.
