Picobrew announces its second product
« on: February 11, 2015, 08:11:12 am »
Picobrew just launched KegSmarts on Kickstarter. Looks like it simply weighs the keg to determine how much beer you have left in the keg.

Edit - Just noticed they also have a keg jacket that appears to have a heater in it for folks that ferment in cornykegs and it is controlled by the same unit.

Cool!  I should have the demo of the Zymatic in the next week.  Looking forward to playing with it.

Basically. It performs the mash in the unit and the "boil" between a connected corny keg and the unit. I say "boil" because as far as I know, the wort never reaches a complete boil.

Kinda the brewing equivalent of a bread maker.
