So, what does Breww cost?

You will need a printer and some labels to use Breww properly. We have a help page which shows what you need to get started. For barcode scanning, you can use our free app for Apple iOS and Android devices (which uses the camera to scan barcodes), or alternatively purchase a traditional barcode scanner if you prefer. We highly recommend the thermal label approach but you can get away with the A4 labels and a normal A4 printer if you're on a tight budget. We don't supply the hardware ourselves so you're free to find the best deal you can online (but our help page has links to suppliers that we've personally had good experiences with if you want to go for the easy route). For the thermal label approach, you're looking at approx £300 (plus VAT) for everything you need.

If you go over the limit, you'll automatically be moved up onto the next plan. We only do this when you've exceed the limit, we never do it on the assumption that you will. For example if you can produce 5,000 hL on your plan and you've produced 4,500 hL by the end of March we won't change your plan at this stage, even though it is likely that will exceed your plan's limit.

When you initially join Breww, your price plan will be based upon your current year's annual production estimate. Each January, a new estimate for the coming year will be required. If this is for more than your price plan allows, you will be automatically moved up to the next plan at this point.

Some plans include an amount of free training during your first month. Breww is really intuitive and simple to use so it's rare for breweries to need extra training, but if you need more or are on a plan without training we are always happy to help. Training needs to be organised in advance with us at a mutually convenient time. We charge £30 per half-hour for training sessions, with a minimum of 1 hour (£60) charge per session. If you need any training, get in touch. Our help centre is worth checking too and is regularly updated.

Support is different to training. Support is included in all but our lowest priced plans and covers things like any issues with Breww, whether they're things that don't seem to be working correctly, or feature requests. Simple requests like "How do I do X?" are covered by our standard support and don't require training to be purchased. Most questions can also be ansered by self-service our help centre, so you might never need to contact us.

You can pay for your Breww subsciption by credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express), or by Bacs Direct Debit (UK only). You can update your payment method at any time from within your account.

All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT. VAT at the prevailing rate in the UK (currently 20%) will be added to the total price to pay, if you're based in the UK. If you're VAT registered, you can of course claim this back. If you're based outside of the UK, VAT will not be added to your bill.
