Precision. Passion. Beer: The Engineering Behind CraftBrew

Precision. Passion. Beer: The Engineering Behind CraftBrew

November 5, 2025Gabriel Gottgtroy Zigolis

At Brouwerij CraftBrew, we don’t just make beer — we engineer it.
Every pint that leaves our tanks is the result of equal parts science, chaos, and creativity.



From Code to Kettle

It all started with two engineers who couldn’t stop tweaking things — from software bugs to mash temperatures.

Before long, our homebrew “experiments” turned into brewing schedules with formulas, flowcharts, and data sheets.

Now, every CraftBrew beer is born from:

  • Exact temperature curves for mash efficiency

  • Calculated hop schedules for flavor layering

  • Controlled fermentation pressures for stability

  • And a sprinkle of human madness that no algorithm can predict

Because let’s be honest — perfection is great, but fun tastes better.



Where Art Meets Accuracy

Each recipe goes through the same process an engineer would use for a product release:

1️⃣ Prototype (test batch) – messy, exciting, full of notes.
2️⃣ Iteration – tweak the ratios, test, repeat.
3️⃣ Production – lock the recipe, scale it up, and bring it to the tanks.
4️⃣ QA (Quality Ale-surance) – taste, test, and celebrate. 🍻

That’s how we built beers like:

  • Hopocrisy IPA – perfectly balanced bitterness with citrus explosion.

  • Redaliation Red Ale – roasted malts precision.

  • Dutch Strong Ale – stable carbonation pressure, clean fermentation.

Every glass reflects hundreds of micro-decisions — and a shared obsession with improvement.



Tools of the Trade

We brew with professional-grade equipment:

  • BrewTools CIP – our controlled lab for mash & boil.

  • SS Brewtech Fermenters – pressurized, sanitized, and spotless.

  • RAPT sensors & Inkbird controllers – because even yeast deserves analytics.

  • Purged CO₂ transfers – no oxygen, no compromises.

We’re tech nerds with a hop addiction. And we’re proud of it.



Why It Matters

Engineering and brewing share the same heart:

🔹 Experimentation
🔹 Precision
🔹 Passion
🔹 Continuous improvement

We’re constantly testing new hops, yeasts, and water profiles — not to overcomplicate things, but to make beers that surprise even us.



The Result?

Clean, flavorful, perfectly carbonated beers that reflect our philosophy:
No shortcuts. No pretension. Just engineered perfection in every pint.
