Hmm. Interesting. Looks to be a competitor of the PicoBrew, built in Seattle: https://www.picobrew.com/Store/products/pico.cshtml

I used to be heavily into homebrewing but got out of it several years back.  I gave all my equipment to my son, who is now using it.  Brewing smaller batches with the press of a button sounds intriguing, but you seem to be locked into pre-made ingredient packs, so I wonder how much customization you can do.  However, at a price of $ 500, I will be watching this.

The Picobrew Zymatic (did I get that name right?) intrigues me because it can use bulk grains and your own recipes, and it makes a decent amount of beer.  I have no interest in this new tiny one that only takes premade pods.  (what does a pod cost, $20?)

[MillCreek]

I have looked at the Zymatic, but I figure that for the $ 2000 cost, that would keep me in beer for over fifteen years, seeing that I buy maybe 10 sixpacks per year.  At my current consumption level, given that my wife does not drink beer, doing my own just does not pencil out.  But I have to say that I miss it.

And why is he not giving you some of his ??

He and his friends are into the lighter lagers, which I am not really a fan of.

Picobrew and the like make zero sense.

The best way to automatically brew beer is to buy it.

I don't drink enough beer to justify making my own either, so I just buy it at a store.

I used to think that, then I started home brewing.

Now i drink enough beer to justify the brewing.

Homebrewing is like reloading...you don't save any money, but you drink more.

My liver doesn't need the extra beer.  

But seriously, a 12-pack will last me a year. I pretty much only drink beer when I go to restaurants these days.

another example of technology fail.

I love to drink beer. The best way to get the beer is to buy it.
