Description
Fresh Wort Brewery Kit – microbrewery with 2 × 150L Unitank
The Fresh Wort Brewery Kit is a complete starter kit for anyone who wants to produce professional-quality beer the easy way. Instead of investing in large brewing systems and spending hours mashing and boiling, you fill the tank with ready-brewed wort from Fresh Wort Kits, add yeast and any extra hops, and let professional fermenters and a temperature-controlled glycol chiller do the rest. The kit is made to order.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.

What one batch gives you
Each 150 L tank is filled with 6 Fresh Wort Kits of 20 L. That gives 120 litres of beer per batch, with headspace for foam at the top of the tank. 120 litres of finished beer is 240 half-litre servings. With two tanks you can ferment two batches at once, for example two different beer styles.

Serving options
Once the beer is fully fermented and conditioned, it can be made ready for serving or sale in several ways:
- Bottles: the classic option, easy to source and simple for selling in small quantities.
- Cans: a professional look and well suited to over-the-counter sales, ideally with your own labels.
- Cornelius kegs (reusable steel kegs): our recommendation, and the simplest and cheapest option for serving on site.
- PolyKeg and KeyKeg (one-way kegs): practical for distribution when you want to avoid returning kegs.
Who is the Fresh Wort Brewery Kit for?
Investing in a complete brewery is expensive and time-consuming, and brewing good beer from scratch takes knowledge and experience, especially when the beer is to be sold. With the Fresh Wort Brewery Kit you avoid the investment in a full brewhouse, and you do not need to master the whole brewing process. The kit suits:
- Small bars and restaurants that want their own house beer with higher margins
- Farm breweries and local food producers that want to expand their range the easy way
- Mountain lodges, guesthouses and destinations that want to serve local, unique beer
- Events and festivals that want beer with their own name
You can earn more per litre than when buying finished beer, and you get full control of production and can build your own brand.
Tailored to your needs
This is an example of a microbrewery that suits many types of venues. We are happy to put together proposals and quotes for both larger and smaller setups. You can also add a Brite tank, where the beer can be stored and served directly. If you buy many Fresh Wort Kits, we can offer good deals.

Frequently asked questions about the Fresh Wort Brewery Kit
Do I need to add water to the wort?
No. A Fresh Wort Kit is ready-brewed, professionally water-adjusted wort, and water must never be added. You pour the wort into the tank and add the yeast that comes with it.
How much beer does one batch give?
Each 150 L tank is filled with 6 Fresh Wort Kits of 20 L. That gives 120 litres of beer, or 240 half-litre servings, per tank and batch.
What is not included in the kit?
Hoses and fittings are not included. We are happy to help you put together what you need.
Can the setup be made larger or smaller?
Yes. We make proposals and quotes for both larger and smaller setups, including a Brite tank for storage and serving.
How do you recommend serving the beer?
For serving on site we recommend Cornelius kegs. They are the simplest and cheapest option. Bottles, cans and one-way kegs are best when the beer is to be sold or distributed.
