About Craft a Brew

Couple brewing beer with the Craft a Brew 1 Gallon Beer Brewing Kit

Craft a Brew makes it easier to create, ferment and experiment at home.

Since 2010, we’ve helped people experience the satisfaction of making something themselves. We started with home beer brewing kits designed to turn craft beer drinkers into craft beer brewers. Today, that same hands-on spirit extends far beyond beer.

Our growing lineup includes kits, ingredients and equipment for making beer, mead, wine, hard cider, kombucha, soda, vinegar, hot sauce and other DIY fermentation projects at home. Whether you're brewing your first batch, exploring a new fermentation hobby or stocking an established home brewery, our goal is to give you quality ingredients, reliable brewing equipment and straightforward guidance from start to finish.

We source quality ingredients, develop approachable kits and assemble our products at our headquarters in Orlando, Florida. From first-time makers to experienced homebrewers, Craft a Brew is here to make the process easier to understandβ€”and more rewarding to do yourself.

How It All Got Started

Craft a Brew began in 2010 with a simple idea: make homebrewing more approachable without sacrificing the quality of the finished beer. What began with beer brewing kits has grown into a much broader collection of DIY beverage making and fermentation experiences.

As our community of makers has grown, so has what we make. Today, Craft a Brew helps people explore everything from beer, wine and mead to cider, kombucha, soda, vinegar, hot sauce and moreβ€”all with the same focus on quality ingredients, thoughtful equipment and clear instructions.

Made for Makers

You don't need to be an expert to make something worth sharing.

Our kits are designed to make brewing, fermentation and DIY food and beverage projects approachable for beginners while still giving experienced makers room to experiment. We break complex processes into manageable steps and provide the ingredients, equipment, instructions and support needed to take a project from start to finish.

Quality

Great results start with quality ingredients and reliable equipment.

From brewing grains, hops and yeast to wine, mead, cider and fermentation ingredients, we select products with the finished batch in mind. We package and handle ingredients to help maintain freshness and build our kits around equipment that can be used beyond a first project.

For beer brewers, that includes sourcing ingredients from suppliers serving the craft brewing industry and nitrogen-flushing hops and grains to help preserve freshness and flavor. Across our product lineup, the goal remains the same: give makers the tools and ingredients they need to create something they're proud of at home.

Design

We believe the experience of making something should be as thoughtfully designed as the finished product.

Our team works with graphic designers, illustrators and product engineers to create kits, equipment, instructions and packaging that are approachable, functional and enjoyable to use. From opening the box to enjoying the finished batch, we think through the details that make DIY brewing and fermentation easier and more rewarding.

Sustainability

We’re constantly looking for ways to make our operations more environmentally friendlyβ€”from our manufacturing processes to the suppliers and materials we work with. We host this site on a carbon negative server, our glass supplier used more than 50% recycled material, our boxes are more than 35% recycled material, we recycle all of our corrugated packaging material.
