Craft Society Master Explorer
Join the Craft Society Master Explorer and brew exclusive small-batch recipes with a full 5-gallon brewing experience. Your membership begins with the Initiation Imperial Stout, a bold recipe designed to reach 7.8% ABV and layered with cacao nibs, coffee, vanilla, and chile peppers. Each month delivers a new members-only recipe kit built for brewers ready to explore advanced styles and larger batches.
The Master Explorer membership is designed for experienced homebrewers who want variety, consistency, and access to exclusive recipes. The included Initiation Imperial Stout kit provides a rich introduction to higher-gravity brewing while maintaining balance and drinkability across a full 5-gallon batch.
Each month, members receive a new secret recipe kit developed exclusively for the Craft Society. These rotating 5-gallon recipes are not available for individual purchase and are created to encourage experimentation, refine technique, and expand brewing knowledge.
Membership also includes an exclusive Craft Society Teku glass, coaster set, and enamel pin, along with access to a private online brewing community. This members-only group offers recipe insights, troubleshooting support, and shared experience from fellow brewers.
Craft Society recipe kits are widely used by homebrewers seeking dependable fermentation performance, quality ingredients, and thoughtfully designed brewing experiences at a larger scale.
Initiation Begins With Our Imperial Stout
Every new member receives ingredients (& equipment if needed) to brew the Initiation Imperial Stout. This formidable beer clocks in at 7.8 %. Each glass contains a murky menagerie of chile peppers, cacao nibs, coffee beans & vanilla.
How It Works
Your first month’s shipment is $90 & includes ingredients to brew 5 gallons of our Initiation Imperial Stout PLUS the Initiation Chest filled with exclusive glassware & accessories.
After your first month, each following month is just $50 & includes a super-secret, members-only 5 gallon recipe kit. Recipe kits include ingredients to brew 5 gallons of beer with the equipment from your first month’s shipment. These never-before-seen recipes will never be seen again. Don’t miss out, because each month’s recipe is retired to make way for the next.
Membership also includes access to our digital community. In other words, you’re invited to a private Facebook Group for members to share (& steal) homebrewing knowledge and tips.
