The Pico C ($549) is the third in PicoBrew's line of automated craft home brewing appliances, built by beer geeks. Pico C brews using PicoPaks, compo stable, sugarcane husk containers filled with grain and hops that match recipes for more than 100 award-winning craft beers. The WiFi-enabled machine reads the RIFD tag for the recipe it's brewing and lets you adjust the ABV and IBU according to your preference. Brew a 5-liter batch in under 2 hours, ready to drink in under 2 weeks. It even doubles as a sous vide built-in.  Check out their other products as well at picobrew.

This one goes out to all my brewing friends that may want to keep tabs on their home brew operations even if they're not home with the BeerBug ($250). This WiFi-enabled sensor monitors the specific gravity, temperature, and alcohol content of your brew,  it even lets you view real-time data via a web browser or through apps for iOS and Android. Its built-in rechargeable battery lasts over 25 days and recharges over a standard Micro USB connection, so even if your fermenting time runs over, all you need is a common charger to stay informed until it's done. Happy Brewing! If you want more information on this product it can be found here.
