HopBlock filter in action vs. leaf and pellet hops:
I recently upgraded from a Unibrau 10g system to a 20g system. I chose Brau Supply because it was a modular system, and I could use all my existing Brau Supply pumps and heaters, etc. on the 20g system. I also ordered the HopBlock Filter for the 20-30G system since the one I had in my previous 10g system worked so well.
I made a simple (8.5 lbs. of grain) Cream Ale with 1 ounce of hops and used the new HopBlock filter. After I was done, I saw that the HopBlock filter had basically started to collapse. I am thinking the span is too much and it buckled. I am guessing that there needs to be more support to prevent this from happening.
I have never given anything but a 5-star rating to all of my Brau Supply product, but I cannot let this pass.
Long time Unibrau user, been meaning to purchase this for a while, finally got around to it.
Works really well, probably too well if you end up with grain in the boil as it clogs easily…I will be widening the gap on my mill a bit to try and minimize that issue…I’ve been crushing my grains finer than is recommended for the Unibrau.
Once I have everything dialed in, I expect it will be an excellent addition to my system.
Surprisingly simple solution to a common annoyance. This very effective little accessory makes a huge difference.
This is a definite solid buy! Had it in place when brewing a batch and it really helped keeping all the floaties from going through the pump. Easy to install, easy to clean.
Highly recommend this as a buy for anyone looking to help keep the junk out of your beer when your transferring it to a fermenter or even if you're taking it up to the whirlpool arm.
Thank you Robbie we’re so happy that you love your new setup!
Hi, I’m Steven, founder and CEO of Bräu Supply.
Like many of you, I started brewing because I was obsessed with crafting beer that wasn’t just good—but exceptional. What I quickly realized was that most homebrewing systems were either too clunky, too limiting, or simply couldn’t deliver the kind of precision I was after. So, I set out to solve that.
My mission was simple - Build the most advanced, fully customizable brewing system for serious homebrewers.
Something reliable, compact, built to last for decades—and most importantly, capable of producing ridiculously delicious, consistent, high-quality beer every single time.
That mission led to years of prototyping, testing dozens of materials and configurations, and working with a growing community of brewers. The result? Unibräu—our flagship all-in-one brewing system.
Launched from our 2017 Kickstarter campaign, Unibräu became the world’s first countertop electric brewing system, designed for both beginners and seasoned brewers. Whether you're brewing from your kitchen, garage, basement, or backyard, it fits seamlessly into your life while delivering commercial-grade results.
With Unibräu, everything just clicks—from heating to chilling, every step is streamlined into an intuitive six-step process. You’re in full control, from grain to glass.
In 2023, The Spruce voted Unibräu the Best Electric Homebrewing System, and honestly, I couldn’t agree more.
Whether you're just getting started or you're already deep into your brewing journey, I promise you this:
Once you brew with Unibräu, there’s no going back.
It’s not just a brewing system. It’s the ultimate brewing experience—start to finish.
