This company was looking for $200,000 on Kickstarter. They got more than a million!

I saw the original PicoBrew a few years ago at CES. It was a very large machine that looked fairly complicated. It was designed more for businesses than the home brewer. But the new Pico, coming March 2016, is a compact, smart-connected, fully automatic brewing appliance that brews five-liter mini kegs of fresh craft beer in about two hours. (But fermenting the beer can take days of room-temp storage.) One key to Pico’s new ease-of-use is the use of convenient pre-packaged ingredient modules called PicoPaks. Now more than 60 craft breweries and over 350 home brewers have signed up to produce PicoPaks available on its online Brew Marketplace to Pico owners. But wait, there's more! Chad was right, PicoBrew has announced that in addition to brewing top-quality fresh craft beer, the Pico also will support “modernist cuisine” sous vide cooking. Pico is available for pre-order on the PicoBrew Kickstarter pagefor a limited time starting at the purchase price of $559, which also includes aninternational version that is available to anyone around the world.
