Brews in an average of 4 hours?

Can that be right?



Sounds about right, if slightly optimistic; 90 minute mash, 60-90 minute boil, and cooling.

Of course, the fermentation is a matter of weeks, not hours.


Plus a few weeks to ferment.


Plus refrigerated lagering, if you want real beer.


Prefer ales myself ;) Especially real ales from England!


Yeah, but this isn't to produce a drinkable brew. It's not even a super different projection from the brew time when I've homebrewed (which has been a while but was probably closer to 6 hours for me to get it into the primary fermentation tub). This thing looks pretty cool, but I'm interested in seeing more on the whole setup / maintenance and, especially, cleaning.
