World’s first smartphone-controlled homebrewing machine

Homebrewing was federally legalized in 1978 for the first time since Prohibition made it illegal in 1919. In 2013, Mississippi and Alabama — the last two states remaining with laws against homebrewing — passed legislation to permit beer brewing at home. Needless to say, homebrewing has come a long way since the ‘70s. The Brewie is a good example — the world’s first fully automated homebrewing machine. Brewie actually lets you make your own craft beer with the push of a button and with a smartphone app that monitors the whole process for you. The folks behind Brewie launched an Indiegogo campaign on Dec. 2, and you can learn all about this cool new unit by watching the video above.
