This complete starter brewery set contains everything you need to start brewing excellent beers, including the ingredients for your first batch (no-boil, kit brewing: choose the Brew Can you want by including the name in the Remarks field when ordering).

The unique eccentro-conical fermenter design has many advantages. It minimizes the beer loss in the trub at the bottom of the fermenter to about 600ml; it minimizes the contact between beer and spent yeast, and still allows for easy bottling. The single-ended thread allows for the lid to be opened and closed with one hand. (Size specifications are available for download in PDF format.)

This affordable entry-level single vessel brewing system is an easy way to get started with full grain beer brewing. The Brew Buddy uses the "Brew in a Bag" method. Grains are steeped in the full volume of water to be used for the brew, and no sparging is needed. But that is not all it can do! The Brew Buddy can also be used for brewing beers from extract and steeped grains, as well as for the more traditional mash-and-sparge method. Should you decide to move on to a more advanced brewing set-up, the Brew Buddy can easily be made part of any traditional three-vessel system.

Note: like any other full grain brewing system, the Brew Buddy produces wort. In order to ferment that wort into beer you will need a separate fermentation vessel (not included) as well as the other brewing implements included in our Starter Brewery Sets.

The Brew Buddy includes:

• 25 litre food grade plastic brewing bucket with food grade plastic tap
• 30 x 45 cm food grade nylon mesh liner (fits the bucket precisely)
• 230V / 2300W heating element with over-temperature protection
• 65cm regulation kettle cord with 3 prong South African plug
• Copper immersion chiller with 5-turn coil (ca. 6 x 26cm), 3/8" tubing, fitted with 1/2" BSP threaded connectors that match standard domestic plumbing accessories including "Gardena® type" hosepipe adaptors (hosepipe connector set available from Brew For Africa)
• Comprehensive instruction manual

(For more information on how the Brew Buddy works download the instruction manual in PDF format.)

These hosepipe connectors fit the Brew Buddy's immersion chiller and allow you to connect your regular garden hosepipe to it. The connectors have been fitted with a thicker rubber washer to ensure a perfect seal at all times.
