The company is set to debut its HomeBrew system at CES 2019. It's a capsule-based beer-making machine that relies on automation and fermentation algorithms, and is completely self-cleaning, so it's a seriously fuss-free way of brewing your own beer. Depending on the beer type (there are five: American IPA, American Pale Ale, English Stout, Witbier and Czech Pilsner), the system can produce up to five liters of beer in about two weeks -- you can check on its status at any time using the companion app for iOS and Android.

    Unless I misunderstand how it works, you could modify the recipes, resulting in plenty of variations. It's not just "these 5 beers and that's it".

    I've known quite a few homebrewers. Not one of them had limited themselves to "these 5 beers": They were always trying out different hops, different kinds of fermentation, different malts, etc. Each batch was unique.

    I know how homebrewing works. I've done it. I'm talking about how the device works. It's not going to start blinking red and sounding the alarm when you deviate from the instructions, and it doesn't use "K-cups".
