    So this is interesting.....

    Brewbot gets around these limitations for home beer enthusiasts by building a relatively svelte design that tucks away all the necessary machinery, vats and tanks into a package that’s about the size of a standard Ikea freestanding wardrobe. They then used Arduino-based controls and a load of sensors to make sure that Brewbot can easily follow recipes downloaded from the Internet to the letter, ensuring perfect repeatability every time with little or no manual intervention required.

    Although unique and tech savvy I'm personally not a fan. I think it takes the human element out of homebrewing. Removes the fun and artistry out of making beer.

    I agree with you, that's not how I want to brew.

    However, if it gets more people into brewing...I'm on board with it.
