Part pizza oven, part aquarium. Announcing the Picobrew-Zymatic! The amazing handy dandy $1,500 solution for that perfect 3 gallon batch.
Kickstarter website here. I lul'd.

Dumbest idea ever. Just go buy beer from the grocery store if you're not into homebrewing... Cuz this is not homebrewing...
Well, they got one part right -- there's no art in scrubbing out a kettle. When they come out with a robot which will wash up and put away all my brewing equipment at the end of the brew day, I've got a $1,500 check waiting.
Did anyone else notice that it doesn't actually boil? It holds temps at 208 F. I don't find anything particularly exciting about holding mash temps and so forth, I'd rather focus on recipe formulation. But all of these "set it and forget it" systems seem to have glaring weaknesses that a serious brewer wouldn't look twice at.
It's not a failure when he sends out a 67 products and makes $115k . Sounds like a business to meevrose said:This will be a stunning and quite spectacular failure. $1500 to "brew" 2.5 gallon batches? Not a chance.
Wow. Everyone in this thread cooks every one of their meals from scratch also?

Epimetheus said:Great idea for breweries to test small batches. That is exactly what the video mentioned. $1500 is cheap for laboratory equipment for a commercial brewery to test a new recipe. Home brewers, not so much. Excellent idea for commercial use.
It's called a bar. Hate the damn hipsters that just want to be able to say they brew.Unfortunately, no system exists for homebrewers that can do all of that.
