Provided is a beverage maker. The beverage maker includes a pair of fermenters, each of which has an internal space, a pair of fermenter lids configured to shield the internal spaces of the pair of fermenters, a pair of beverage containers that are selectively accommodated in the internal spaces of the pair of fermenters, a temperature regulator configured to independently regulate internal temperatures of the pair of fermenters, ingredient feeders in which ingredient containers configured to contain beverages are selectively mounted and which are disposed outside the pair of fermenters, respectively, a main channel via each of the ingredient feeders, a pair of branch channels branched from the main channel and respectively connected to the pair of beverage containers, and a beverage dispenser connected to the pair of branch channels.

A beverage maker includes a fermentation tank in which an internal space for fermentation is formed, a temperature controller configured to control a temperature of the fermentation tank and including an evaporator and a heater, and an insulation portion surrounding a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the fermentation tank. The fermentation tank may include a first chamber, in which the evaporator is disposed, and a second chamber configured to be in contact with the heater and coupled to the first chamber, and the insulation portion may be located between the first chamber and the evaporator.

Production of beer using a wort concentrate is described. In an embodiment, a system includes at least one fermentation tank comprising temperature control means. At least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored on at least one computer-readable storage media to perform a method of producing beer, including forming a mixture of a wort concentrate including hops and having a specific gravity of at least 1.085 kg/m3, with water and yeast in the fermentation tank, wherein forming the mixture comprises pumping the wort concentrate into the fermentation tank. The mixture is fermented and fermentation conditions monitored. On determining that predetermined fermentation conditions have been met, the fermented mixture is cooled to a temperature between zero and four degrees Celsius through controlling the temperature control means. The fermented mixture is carbonated, following addition of yeast finings, such that beer is produced.
