Brew to the subscription, not the guess.
Lanemi runs your craft drinks on weekly subscriptions matched to your brew cycle, caps each flavour at the batch you actually bottled, counts your glass home with deposits, and bills the cafes you stock on monthly accounts. In your currency, wherever you brew.
Fermentation does not care about your order book.
A batch takes its own time: brewed, fermented, flavoured, bottled, and only then sellable. You committed to quantities weeks before the orders arrived, the glass it ships in costs real money, and half your volume goes to cafes that pay monthly, if you invoice them properly.
Batches promised twice.
The ginger sold out on Tuesday but the app in your head kept selling it till Friday.
Glass that never returns.
Bottles are a third of your cost, and every crate that stays under a customer’s sink is margin gone.
Subscribers who drift.
The weekly pack gets skipped by message, forgotten, doubled, and the fridge fills with unclaimed bottles.
Cafe invoices done at midnight.
The cafes want stock weekly and a clean invoice monthly, and both currently come out of your evenings.
The batch sets the ceiling. The round sells inside it.
Weekly packs on your brew cycle.
Subscribers take a weekly pack on your delivery day, swap flavours from their own phone, and pause the weeks they travel. A skipped week is never bottled for them and never billed, and your bottling list is exact before you start.
Every flavour capped at its batch.
When the ginger batch bottled at eighty, the cap is eighty. Orders fill to the batch and stop, at order time, and the next brew’s arrival lifts the cap again. Nothing is promised that fermentation has not finished.
Your glass, counted home.
A deposit on each bottle or crate, a swap on every round, a refund on return, counted per customer and written to your books. The bottles stop being a slow leak and become an asset you can actually see.
Cafes stocked weekly, invoiced monthly.
Each cafe runs a standing weekly order it adjusts from its own login, on a postpaid account with a credit limit. Deliveries post as they land, and the month closes with a statement and one numbered tax invoice. Your midnight invoicing sessions end.
Household money that runs itself.
Home subscribers prepay a wallet, topped up online through your own payment account, and each delivered pack charges as it lands. A referral reward for the friend who spread the word posts to the same books as everything else.
Built around the fermentation calendar.

Craft drinks travel the same in every city.
Kombucha in one market, cold brew, kefir water or craft soda in another: the batch calendar and the glass are the same trade. Choose your currency, set your delivery day to your brew cycle, and keep your food-safety licences on file, with a reminder before they lapse. Any labelling or category rules for fermented drinks in your market stay yours to meet.
Built by people who commit before they sell.
Lanemi began on a farm, where a crop, like a batch, is promised to the future long before an order confirms it. The caps and locked counts on this page are how we reconcile slow production with impatient demand, because we have had to.
The things small breweries ask us first.
My batches sell out unevenly. How do I stop overselling a flavour?
Cap each flavour at what the batch bottled. Orders fill to the cap and stop at order time, and the cap lifts when the next brew is ready. The apology email retires.
Can subscribers change flavours week to week?
Yes, from their own phone, before your cutoff. The bottling list locks after it, so variety for them never becomes chaos for you.
How do I finally get my bottles back?
Deposits. Every bottle or crate is counted against the customer holding it, swapped each round, refunded on return, and written off cleanly when it is gone for good.
Cafes want weekly stock and monthly bills. Both?
Both, and separately from your home round. Standing weekly orders they adjust themselves, a postpaid account with a credit limit, and one numbered tax invoice a month.
Can I say the drink is good for digestion?
Not through us, and we suggest not at all without legal advice. Health claims on fermented drinks are regulated in most markets. This platform’s promises are logistics and money; the drink speaks for itself.
What about a one-off party case?
A one-time order against a date, capped by the batch like everything else, prepaid or on account.
One good idea for your round, once a week.
Short, practical, and no filler. Leave any time.
