If you’ve ever aspired to the title of brewmaster, the PicoBrew Zymatic automatic beer brewer will make it official. Just add water, grain, and hops into their respective containers, type in a recipe that tells the machine what, when, and how much of the ingredients to add to a batch, and walk away. In less than 4 hours you’ll have unfermented beer, or wort. Add yeast, let it ferment for about a week, and then carbonate it, and you’re ready to drink.
