A way to save!

The price of the equipment is an investment in the future — all the essential products: fermentation vessel, caps, capper — cost approx. PLN 200. Of course, over time you can develop your brewing passion, moving towards a more professional approach and using additional products dedicated to brewing enthusiasts. However, a minimal, basic set-up is enough to enjoy beer you have made yourself. We especially recommend our MIKROBROWAR 1 set (406000), which is a great gift idea and also a complete starter kit for anyone wanting to start their brewing adventure.

This expense will pay for itself very quickly, especially since making beer from concentrate is more economical than buying ready-made beer in a store. For example, when buying Coopers concentrates for 23 L of beer (average can price: PLN 70) — the cost per 500 ml bottle is PLN 1.5. By adding sugar or glucose (which improves the taste of the beer) — this cost will rise to PLN 2. Still, this is lower than or comparable to the most popular “regular” beers available in large discount stores, at promotional prices from PLN 2.5 to 3. Also remember that the pleasure of drinking and sharing homebrew with friends and family is... priceless! For those who enjoy more refined flavors and craft beers, we have Amber Ale, Long Play IPA, and Diablo IPA concentrates, allowing you to prepare up to 8.5 L of beer. These are more sophisticated styles, often found in craft brewing, to which you can also add hopped malt extracts to achieve an even more pronounced flavor. The cost of making such beer is from PLN 2 to 3 per 500 ml bottle. Meanwhile, promotional prices for this type of beer in discount stores range from PLN 6 to even a dozen or more zloty. It’s easy to see that thanks to a passion for homebrewing we can not only save money but also develop our brewing palate and impress others with increasingly interesting brews.
