This May Be the Most Meticulous Home-Brewing System Ever Built

You can brew your own beer on the stove, in a keg, or even inside a pumpkin, but those all look boring next to The Wobbly Boot Pico Brewery, the most sophisticated home-brewing system you'll ever see.

Built by Ben_B, an engineer at National Instruments, the brewery sits on a steel frame with two incredibly shiny kegs. There's an LCD touch-panel PC, and Ben even made his own app to make it fully automated.

The app lets him save recipes and also monitors the temperature of the beer. It keeps track of how long it's been brewing, and even calculates the alcohol percentage!

You can find detailed information on how the Wobbly Boot Pico Brewery was made over on Ben's blog.
