Fermentations has the Best Selection of Brewing Grains in Colorado Springs!  Our professional brewery-grade mill is getting terrific customer reviews, too!  Check us out!

 

Beer Brewing in three easy steps:

- Step One: About 3 hours on day one to brew your beer and begin primary fermentation.

- Step Two (one week later): Rack to secondary fermentation (10 minutes)

- Step Three (two weeks later):  Prime & bottle your beer, then take it home (60 minutes).  Allow it to condition (carbonate) for 3 - 4 weeks.

​

What will this cost?  We currently charge approximately $68 plus ingredients to make beer in our store.  Includes 3 hour brewing session, 48 to 52 bottles, use of our equipment & lesson fee), plus the beer ingredient kit of your choice. 

 

Beer ingredient kits make approx. 5 gallons (48-52 bottles), and range from $38 to $68 depending upon the kit you choose.  Typical total cost to host your beer brewing at Fermentations is around $120 to $130 for two cases of great quality beer, or about $2.50 per bottle for beer that rivals premium brands in liquor stores. 

 

Three weeks from start to bottling in 3 appointments, plus approximately four weeks for bottle conditioning.

​

Contact Tim or Brenda for more information, and we will schedule your appointments upon payment for your lesson package and ingredient kit.

​

While we are not able to refill CO2 (carbon dioxide) canisters at our facility, we offer an exchange program where we'll swap a full 5# tank for your 5# empty tank when you bring it in to us.  Be aware that aluminum tanks have a 5-year certification life and steel tanks have a 10-year certification life.  If your tank certification is out of date, there will be a $25 charge for pressure-testing and certification by the gas company.

Enjoy your winemaking and beer brewing hobby responsibly!
