Homebrewing can be a fairly labour-intensive process but the Beermkr simplifies the process by combining the brewing and fermentation process in a single device. Controlled via a smartphone app, the Beermkr lets users tweak recipes in the machine while providing real-time CO2 monitoring to keep track of exactly what is happening in the machine. A signature three-valve system automatically adds and removes ingredients in the brew, while a recyclable beer pouch solves a host of obstacles involved in homebrewing.
According to the makers of the Beermkr, the device is capable of saving users up to $1 for every 12 ounces of beer. The device also allows homebrewers the ability to begin brewing in just five minutes. The accompanying app will also send push notifications throughout various points in the brewing process.
