Assembly for regulating flow of hops into a fermentation vessel includes a hollow cross-shaped connector including a first cylindrical housing intersecting a second cylindrical housing at an approximate right angle. A rotary shaft coaxially mounted within the first cylindrical housing supports a hub and uniformly spaced vanes at a proximal end with outer ends of each vane adapted to sweep in close engagement with an inner wall of the first cylindrical housing. An actuator coupled to a distal end of the shaft is configured to control rotation of the shaft to control flow of hops from a hopper configured for holding hops into a hatch of a fermentation vessel configured for holding fermenting fluid. An outlet of the second cylindrical housing sealably connects to the hatch of the fermentation vessel, and an inlet of the second cylindrical housing sealably connects to an aperture of the hopper.

A mobile terminal includes a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a beverage-making apparatus; a display unit; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: receive a first request for selecting a first ingredient included in a first ingredient category for making a beverage with the beverage-making apparatus; display at least one recommended second ingredient, among a plurality of second ingredients included in at least one second ingredient category, that is determined based on the selected first ingredient; receive a second request for selecting a second ingredient among the at least one recommended second ingredient that is displayed; and display, through the display unit, beverage recipe information related to a beverage-making recipe that includes the selected first ingredient and the selected second ingredient for making the beverage using the beverage-making apparatus.

A user interface for a beer recipe creator may have a series of icons that may represent ingredients. A user may drag and drop or otherwise add the icons to containers on a display screen to add or remove ingredients to the recipe. With each added or removed ingredient, a set of descriptors may be updated. The descriptors may include numerical values of beer parameters as well as textual descriptions and visual descriptions. The system may allow a user to start with a desired beer style, and the parameters may show variances from the selected style. The system may generate an ingredients list, as well as a brewing recipe that may be transferred to a controller for a beer making machine. The system may adjust certain parameters that are controllable by the beer making machine to make flavor and other adjustments selected by a user.

A beer maker may include: a fermentation container having a beer brewing space, a thermoelectric module (or device) for heating or cooling inside of the housing, an ingredient supplying device, and a main channel connecting the ingredient supplying device and the beer brewing space to each other. Ingredients may be fermented in the fermentation vessel container, which is protected by a housing. Ingredients may be provided into the beer brewing space in a state that a lid is closed, a foreign substance may be minimized from being contained in the beer.

The present invention concerns a kit of parts for the in situ production of a fermented target beverage by addition of a liquid diluent (3), said kit of parts comprising: (c) A first chamber (1) containing concentrated beverage extracts, and (d) A second chamber (2), fluidly separated from the first chamber, containing ethanol of at least 80 vol. % purity, Characterized in that, the ethanol of the second chamber contains CO.sub.2 or N.sub.2 at saturation concentration at a temperature of 25 C. and at a pressure of at least 2 bar (=1 bar over atmospheric pressure). The present invention also concerns a dispensing apparatus and a method for the in situ preparation and dispensing of a fermented target beverage, using the foregoing kit of parts.

A device to produce personalized mixtures of substances is configured to be controlled by computer program code running on a user terminal. The computer program code enables a user of the user terminal to create and personalize the formulas for optimizing the beverage according to the specific needs of the user and order the beverages from a remote location.
