THE PROJECT

This project began in the Fall of 2016 after I brewed my first batch of beer at home. Seeing how manual and inefficient of a process home brewing was, I got curious as to how micro breweries tested new recipes. I started talking to brewers and found that many of them were actually brewing their pilot batches nearly the same way I brewed at home. I wanted to create a pilot brewing system that was efficient, powerful, and had great software controlling it.

 

 This isn't a "Keurig"-for-beer type of system like the ones that are inundating Kickstarter and Indigogo right now. This will be a modern, technological piece of brewing equipment that empowers brewers to brew better, more consistent, more precise beer in less time and with lower cost. Visit the blog to see my progress!
