PicoBrew: The Keurig of Home Brewing
Picobrew is bringing the world of craft beer into our kitchens. The Pico Model C is essentially a Keurig for home brewing beer. Unlike your Kitchen Aid mixer, the Pico Model C will not become another kitchen appliance taking up precious counter space. Since their inception 7 years ago, they have been working to perfect their product. Pico Model C is the culmination of all their hard work and innovation.
How does the Pico Model C work?
It takes approximately 2 weeks to brew your craft beer at home. First and foremost you must order your PicoPak. The most exciting element of the Pico Model C are the PicoPaks. Brewing your favorite beer from across the country and having it freshly brewed in your kitchen is special. No longer will be people have to have their family secretly ship them bottles of their favorite booze. PicoPaks are offered by: Rogue Ales, Coronado Brewing Company, 21st Amendment, Elysian Brewing, and more. There are many smaller breweries offering their PicoPaks as well. PicoBrew also offers their own brew packs that may be personalized to your liking. PicoPaks can be bought online at their brewing store: BrewMarketplace.
If you want to try your hand at creating your own concoction, the FreeStyle PicoPak allows brewers to choose their own grains and hops. Custom PicoPaks allow individuals to still remain part of the creative process that is home brewing. Home brewers are also able to dictate the ABV and IBUs in their beer.
After choosing your beer, you simply insert the PicoPak and begin the brew cycle. The brew cycle only takes 2 hours to complete but after this step is done, the fermentation process begins. Fermentation is a week long process. Once your beer is fermented it’s time to add the bubblies. The slow carbonation process takes another week. There is a Force Carbonate add on which can carbonate your beer in 36 hours. Voilà! Your home brew is ready to enjoy! Each round of brewing produces 5L kegs, a little over 14 12oz. beers
One of the technological advances of the Pico Model C is the BrewPulse app. This app will allow home brewers to see where their beer is at in the fermentation and carbonation process.
Environmentally Friendly
On top of the shipping money you might save yourself and a few friends, producing great beer at home is also environmentally friendly. Transporting beer, use of cans and glasses, pollution, and energy waste are all cut down when you brew at home. Picobrew even suggests feeding your livestock the spent grain you will have left over. Even the PicoPaks themselves are biodegradable, throwing them in your compost is the easiest way to get rid of them.
