We launched the original Unibräu on Kickstarter in 2017 with a simple thesis — a great brew day shouldn't take three vessels and a basement full of plumbing. Ten years and 47 countries later, it's still one kettle doing the work of an entire brewery. Pick the configuration that fits how you brew.
All three share the same six-step process and tri-clamp architecture. The difference is kettle geometry and whether fermentation is built in.
The original. Tri-clad flat-bottom kettle.
Ten years of proven brews on the original architecture.
Best if you want the proven original.
Updated. Sloped drain. Cleaner wort, every batch.
The updated current model. One meaningful upgrade — sloped bottom geometry directs trub and sediment to a single drain point. Everything else stays the same.
Best if you want the proven Unibräu workflow with the better current kettle — and the option to add fermentation later.
Grain to glass. One kettle. No transfers.
The DrainPro kettle bundled with the full fermentation package. Pitch yeast straight into the same vessel you brewed in — pressure ferment up to 15 psi.
Best if you want zero transfers, pressure fermentation, and the smallest possible footprint.
If you can answer this one in 5 seconds, you can skip the comparison table entirely.
You want hot side only. The DrainPro is the kettle Bräu Supply ships today — proven workflow, sloped drain, full upgrade path if you change your mind.
Go to DrainPro →You want All-In. Brew and pressure-ferment in the same vessel. Cleaner process, smaller footprint, and you'll pitch yeast straight into the kettle you brewed in.
Go to All-In →You want the original Unibräu. Same workflow, flat-bottom Tri-Clad kettle. Available while current stock lasts — the DrainPro is the direct replacement.
Go to Unibräu →Same brewing process, same tri-clamp architecture, same six-step workflow. Here's where they differ.

Whatever you pick, you're getting the same engineering language. Buy in once, upgrade later — accessories carry across the family.
Every connection is tri-clamp — no proprietary fittings, no plastic threads. Service or upgrade any piece without replacing the whole system.
120V (1,650W) at the 10G size · 240V (5,500W) at every size. Element and controller ship as a matched set.
Pump continuously circulates wort through the grain bed for even temperature, repeatable conversion, batch after batch.
Sparge arm, CIP head, steam condenser, counterflow chiller — every Unibräu accessory fits every Unibräu kettle.
The whole family is a single architecture. Bought the original five years ago? The fermentation lid still fits. Bought DrainPro today? Add fermentation tomorrow — same kettle.
Real reviews from real brewers — pulled live from Judge.me.
For most new brewers we recommend the Unibräu DrainPro. It's the current base model, ships today, and the upgrade path to All-In is a single bundle away if you decide later you want fermentation in the same vessel. The only reason to choose the original Unibräu is if you specifically want the flat-bottom kettle while it's still available.
The kettle is the same. DrainPro is hot-side only — heat, mash, sparge, boil, then transfer to your own fermenter. All-In bundles that same DrainPro kettle with the full fermentation package (lid with 15 psi PRV, cooling coil, solenoid, temp controller, connection kit) so you can pitch yeast in the same vessel and pressure-ferment without a second tank.
Yes. The Fermentation Bundle contains everything the All-In adds on top of the DrainPro — fermentation lid, PRV, cooling coil, water solenoid, temp controller, tap water connection kit, and the TC clamps and caps. It fits the DrainPro kettle. Compatibility with the original Unibräu vessel depends on the year — message support with your kettle's serial and we'll confirm.
It's available while supplies last. The DrainPro is the current production model going forward. Once original Unibräu stock sells through, the DrainPro replaces it permanently. Accessories and parts support for the original Unibräu continue indefinitely — that's the whole point of the tri-clamp architecture.
120V (1,650W, SV1 controller) plugs into a standard outlet — available at the 10G size only. Best for brewers who can't run a dedicated circuit. 240V (5,500W, SV2 controller) is available at every size and required for 20G + 30G batches. Needs a dryer-style outlet.
2 years full warranty on the kettle, element, controller, pump, and all included Bräu Supply parts. Lifetime parts support — every component is serviceable and individually replaceable. The architecture is designed to be repaired, not replaced.
Systems ship from our Vancouver, BC workshop. Free continental US shipping via our courier partners — duties, tariffs, and brokerage prepaid. Lead time on in-stock configurations is typically 5–10 business days; custom voltages or pre-orders are shown at the configurator.
