Hey,
It's been a while since I've posted, but I came across this on Digg today and it kind of surprised me. Some guy built what he calls "The Device" which supposedly "makes beer with the touch of a few buttons and knobs."
Personally, I enjoy the process of making beer, but I clicked the link expecting to find some fancy contraption that would literally add ingredients and simplify the process. What I found (a you will also find if you click the link) is some dude who put his brewing equipment on a cart and setup an average pump system to transport the beer between components. The only interesting thing on there is that everything is kept a room temperature (even the finished keg) and served beer is channeled through a chiller before hitting the tap. It just seems like that would take a lot of CO2 to properly carb at that temp and would likely lead to a mug full of foam.
Maybe I'm missing something though.
