It's only possible from custom partitioning. Once in the custom/manual partitioning window, find the pop-up with LVM in it. Click that and you'll see other options including Btrfs. You can also click the + button to add individual mount points, and make them Device Type Btrfs. Each mount point will be created as a Btrfs subvolume on the same Btrfs volume. Right now it's still the case that /boot can't be on Btrfs.
