The Backed Pack: An at-home brewery, a vintage gaming system & a wireless phone charger

Each week, our friends at Backerjack bring us updates on some of the most successful gadget crowdfunding campaigns.

Brewie

Brewie makes it possible to brew one’s own beer at home. This large metal box comes with yeast, hops, malt and different recipes. To use, place the Brew Pad in the box and scan the accompanying card. It will begin to brew. Brewing takes about 5-6 hours for the initial cooking period and about 5-16 days of fermenting.
