LG's New HomeBrew Machine Makes Brewing Beer At Home SO Easy
What if you could easily brew beer at home the same way you make coffee every morning? Well, beer lovers, rejoice-soon you'll have the power to do exactly that. If you've always been curious about brewing your own beer but have been put off by the challenge, LG just debuted a new home brewing device at CES 2019, and it's here to make brewing your own beer a whole lot simpler.
Much like a coffee machine that uses pods to brew your beverage, the LG HomeBrew uses single-use capsules that contain yeast, hops, and malt. All you have to do is pop in the pods and press a button, and the machine takes over from there. It automates the entire process, from fermentation and carbonation to aging and serving, and it even self-cleans and sanitizes in between batches. You can also check in on the status of your beer through the device's companion app, so you'll always know where it's at in the process and when it's ready. When it's done, you can serve it straight from the tap on the device.
Of course, as any home brewer can tell you, brewing beer takes time. So, unlike your favorite coffee maker, your beer won't brew instantly. It'll take more like 2 weeks depending on the beer, so you'll have to wait a bit to try the results. Each batch comes out to approximately 10.5 pints of beer, and it's programmed to make 5 different beer styles: American IPA, American Pale Ale, English Stout, Belgian-style Witbier, and Czech Pilsner. Plus, it has an optimized fermentation algorithm to ensure high-quality taste every time.
"Homebrewing has grown at an explosive pace, but there are still many beer lovers who haven’t taken the jump because of the barriers to entry, like complexity, and these are the consumers we think will be attracted to LG HomeBrew," Dan Song, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solutions, said in a press release.
The LG HomeBrew is not yet available for purchase (and pricing information hasn't been released yet, either) but you can keep checking back with LG for updates. One thing's for sure, though: when it does make it to market, it's sure to be a great gift for the craft beer lover in your life.
