The 86 Days Pilsner concentrate is a Coopers product—the work of top-class Australian specialists who for generations have been creating globally acclaimed brew kits—hopped malt extracts for making beer at home. Thanks to the creative combination of Coopers’ recipes with BROWIN’s experience, specializing among others in yeast production and ranges for home microbreweries, brewing your own beer is now easier than ever. The 86 Days Pilsner beer concentrate is produced by mixing finely milled barley malt with water at a temperature not exceeding 75°C. The next production stage is filtration and vacuum evaporation of the remaining liquid until it reaches a thick, honey-like consistency.

The 86 Days Pilsner concentrate allows you to prepare your own golden beer with a gently sweet taste, a distinctive refined herbal note and a crisp finish with a hint of bitterness. All these features make this concentrate a standard for home mini-breweries. Under the lid of the concentrate can you will find the yeast, which makes brewing home beer exceptionally simple. The kit includes high-quality malt, aromatic hops and specially selected yeast. The concentrate, sanitized equipment, water and a chosen fermentable sugar—these are all you need to soon enjoy the remarkable taste and aroma of a home-brewed golden drink with a refined character. Tasting it with family or friends will be a source of pride and will brighten up parties even for larger groups—one can of 86 Days Pilsner will let you prepare 23 L of high-quality craft beer—in less than 86 days!

A way to save!

The price of the equipment is an investment in the future—all the necessary products: a fermentation vessel, caps, capper—cost approx. 200 PLN. Of course, over time you can develop your brewing passion, moving towards a more professional path and using additional products dedicated to homebrewing enthusiasts. However, only minimal, basic equipment is enough to enjoy beer you’ve made yourself. We especially recommend our MICROBREWERY 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 cost-effective than buying ready-made beer in a store. For example, when buying Coopers concentrates for 23 L of beer (average can price: 70 PLN) — the cost of a 500 ml bottle is 1.5 PLN. By adding sugar or glucose (which enhances the beer’s taste) — this cost will increase to 2 PLN. Still, it’s lower than or comparable to the most popular “regular” beers available in large discount stores, at promotional prices from 2.5 to 3 PLN. Remember also that the pleasure of drinking and sharing homebrew with friends and family is... priceless! For those who prefer more sophisticated flavors and craft beers, we offer concentrates such as Amber Ale, Long Play IPA and Diablo IPA, allowing you to prepare up to 8.5 L of beer. These are more refined styles, often found in craft brewing, to which you can also add hopped malt extracts to obtain an even more pronounced flavor. The cost of making such beer is from 2 to 3 PLN per 500 ml bottle. Meanwhile, promotional prices for this type of beer in discount stores range from 6 to even a dozen or so PLN. It’s easy to see that thanks to the passion for homebrewing we can not only save money, but also develop our brewing palate and impress others with tastings of increasingly interesting beers.
