Home Brewing is Getting Easier

I won't blow smoke up your skirt. Making beer is work.

Marcel Pal has come up with Brewie, a device that automates much of the brewing process.

Brewie has compartments that contain the ingredients of beer; malt, hops, and water. If you get a kit from them, you load the ingredients into the appropriate bins. Insert a RFID card with the necessary step on it into a slot, and the Brewie will mash and sparge your beer. When it has cooled the wort, it will transfer it into a fermenter. You have to pitch the yeast. But other than that, and the cleaning, of course, your involvement in the process is minimal.
