James Bonanni — Homebrewing Experience

A passion for
craft brewing

My name is James Bonanni. Professionally, I work as a Network & Security Team Leader at UAN Company S.R.L. (Var Group), coordinating a team of L3 engineers in an ON-PREM infrastructure environment — managing incidents, changes and day-to-day operations.

My homebrewing journey started the way most do: with simple extract kits back in 2007, just enough to ignite the passion. From there the evolution was natural — first extract plus grains (E+G), then the full leap into All Grain with the BIAB technique, all the way to the classic three-vessel system.

With the arrival of my two daughters and a growing workload on the professional side, I adapted without ever stopping: today I mainly rely on AIO (All-In-One) systems, which let me balance genuine craft quality with real-life time constraints.

I share this passion on Instagram with an international community of over 100,000 followers — reposting quality content, documenting my brew days and keeping the culture of homebrewing alive worldwide.

01

A complete technical journey

Kit (2007) → E+G → All Grain BIAB → Three vessels → AIO: every step taught something new and built genuine, hands-on expertise.

02

International community

100,000 followers from around the world: a vibrant, passionate community united by a shared love for craft beer.

03

Brewing that fits real life

Family, career and homebrew: the AIO system is the practical answer for anyone who refuses to choose between quality and living.

“The best beer is the one you brew yourself, with your own hands, for the people you love.”
— James Bonanni, Homebrewing Experience

My specialities

Every style tells a story.
These are the ones closest to me.

01

Czech Lager

Soft water, Saaz hops and patient cold conditioning. The original lager, crisp and complex in equal measure.

Czech Style · ABV 4–5%
02

German Pilsner

Bright golden clarity, assertive noble hop bitterness and a clean malt backbone. Precision brewing at its finest.

German Lager · ABV 4.5–5.5%
03

Kölsch

Cologne’s pride: a top-fermented ale conditioned like a lager, delicate, subtle and endlessly drinkable.

Hybrid Ale · ABV 4.4–5.2%
04

Session IPA

All the hop aroma and character of a full IPA, scaled down to a sessionable strength. Flavour without compromise.

Session IPA · ABV 3.5–5%
05

Imperial Stout

Dark, rich and bold: roasted malt, dark chocolate, espresso and a warming finish that lingers long after the last sip.

Imperial Stout · ABV 8–12%
