Awesome Homebrewing

Intimidated by the complexities of home brewing equipment? This appliance makes brewing beer almost as simple as using a Keurig. Just load up its keg with a pre-packaged kit, scan an RFID chip, and the iGulu S1 automatically regulates the cooling and fermentation process while you monitor it from your phone. You can also use it to make your own recipes.

There’s much more that goes into brewing craft beer than grain, hops, yeast, and water. Some of the best and most creative beers incorporate other plants to create complex flavors and intoxicating aromas. Author Giuseppe Caruso’s 640-page book The Botany of Beer provides an illustrated guide to more than 500 plants used in brewing around the globe.
