All you need to do is add the beer kit and filtered water into the fermentation keg, before scanning the RFID sticker or selecting the brew type through the on-board menu. From there, simply pour when done. The F1 home beer brewer has auto-temperature control, auto-pressure control, and also provides fast auto cooling. The built-in air pump preserves freshness up to 24 hours if you’re worried about your beer expiring. Helping keep things fresh, it has a CO2 gas cylinder for enhancing carbonation.

Want even more fun tech? You can also use the F1 Automated Home Brewer with the iGulu Brewing App so you can create and monitor brewing stages while using your own brewing recipes. Besides the brewer, you get a tap handle, rubber drip mat, one fermentation keg, keg dispensing tube, and all the extras you need to get started. Think of it as beer 101 for starting out with your new hobby.

The F1 Automated Home Brewer usually costs $699, but right now you can buy it from Amazon for $599, saving $100 off the regular price. This is a great deal for anyone looking to get into home brewing or helping someone else do so.
