In a world where personalization and unique experiences are becoming increasingly important, Seattle-based company iGulu is introducing an automated brewer: the iGulu S1 that brings the art of brewing craft beer into your kitchen. With its intelligent temperature and pressure control system, S1 lets you craft not only beer but also kombucha and cider, beverages that are particularly popular.
Imagine being able to brew refreshing kombucha for your wellness-conscious mornings or a crisp cider to enjoy family gatherings in the evening. With its intelligent brewing capabilities, the S1 ensures that every batch is crafted to perfection, making it easy for everyone – from novice brewers to experienced enthusiasts – to create high-quality beverages right at home.
For convenience, this all-in-one system that combines fermentation, cooling, and dispensing is not only about brewing, it’s about creating experiences with minimal human intervention. The process of brewing the finest batch of beer is as simple as selecting ingredients, and brewing your own family-crafted beer.
The process begins with emptying the powered ingredient kit into the S1 tank, followed by a gallon of filtered water. Now, using a provided RFID card – held up to the reader on the machine – you can provide the S1 with all data regarding fermentation pressure, temperature, and time duration. With the press of a button thereafter, you kickstart the brewing process, which may take a week or two: depending on the type of beer you want.
Alongside simplifying it all, the S1’s user-friendly interface also makes the brewing fun and engaging activity that everyone can participate in. Whether you’re experimenting with new flavors – malt extracts, hops extracts, yeast – or perfecting a classic recipe kit, the iGulu S1 turns up with chilled, carbonated fresh beer every time you want.
When the beer is ready in the fermentation keg, S1 chills it to a preferred serving temperature between 37.4°F and 53.6°F (3°C-12°C) and dispenses it into smaller bottles/glasses at the user’s will through an integrated air pump. iGulu S1 ensures precise control of pressure and temperature for your beer using FermControl 2.0 technology, while its BPA-free, washable polymer fermentation tank takes care of the safety and cleanliness. The S1 can also be used with third-party 5 liter kegs to chill and dispense beer from them.

S1 is a smart brewing appliance; it allows you to keep tabs on the end-to-end brewing process through a connected smartphone. But to ensure the freshness of the beverage you get, iGulu confirms that it should be consumed in a short time frame unless you’re attaching a CO2 cylinder to it that would help maintain the freshness of your brew for up to a month.
If the idea of iGulu S1 in your kitchen has you sold, you can preorder one for a $299 early bird deal through its Kickstarter campaign (after which it would retail for $549). The company is mulling 10 new craft beer brewing ingredient kits to be introduced in the future, so brewing perfect handcrafted beer is going to only get interesting!
