This is a home brewing system that uses separate, removable containers for steeping grains and other ingredients like hops. A pump circulates heated liquid from a main reservoir through these ingredient containers. A special valve system directs the liquid through different containers or bypasses them, allowing for precise control over the steeping process for various ingredients. The system is specifically designed with at least three distinct liquid flow paths.
Why it matters: Since 2015, the cost and accessibility of programmable microcontrollers and food-grade automated valves have significantly improved. This makes the precise control and automation of multiple liquid flow paths for brewing more technically and economically viable.
