[13:52] <_stink__> yo
[13:53] <cmaloney> How goes?
[13:59] <_stink__> eh, not bad
[13:59] <_stink__> you?
[14:11] <cmaloney> Hanging in there.
[14:28] <shakes808> morning
[15:16] <shakes808> not sure how many brew beer or who are interested: https://www.cnet.com/products/picobrew-freestyle/preview/
[16:29] <wolfger> Morning
[16:31] <wolfger> I do brew. That is... interesting.
[16:31] <jrwren> I used to.
[16:31] <jrwren> picobrew is $$$$$$
[16:31] <wolfger> Not sure who that's going to appeal to. I'm sure it's somebody's niche.
[16:32] <wolfger> Yeah... expensive, tiny batch, and (until now) no control over the recipe.
[16:46] <shakes808> to be able to make small batches like that, would be nice.  I love to do it, but to make over 50 bottles at a time, I would rather make the small test batches before going in on a full batch.
[16:48] <shakes808> and to have the process only take a couple of hours, instead of weeks, that would be good for everyone from home brewers to micro brewers... but that price is crazy, as jrwren said.
[16:48] <jrwren> surely its only the brewing process that takes a couple of hours.
[16:48] <jrwren> you can't speed up fermentation.
[16:49] <shakes808> correct, they are saying that it will be bottled in a week
[16:50] <shakes808> *typical grain-to-glass time: 7-10 days
[16:50] <jrwren> which is pretty short, but not unheard of.
[16:50] <jrwren> i just cna't imagine the beer will be very good
[16:51] <shakes808> I know when I was doing 5 gal carboys, it would take me about 2-3 weeks at the minimum.
[16:53] <jrwren> exactly.
