A beverage maker may include a base, a fermentation module disposed on the base, a heater configured to heat a fluid, such as water supplied to the fermentation module, and a heater case disposed on the base. The heater case may be configured to accommodate the heater so as to allow the heater to be spaced upward from the base.

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.

A semi-automated vessel-in-vessel beer brewing and precision timed cooking system is disclosed. This system enables automated, hands-off brewing from strike to boil, more efficient sparging, and precision timed cooking, and can be built as an add-on to existing vessel-in-vessel systems.

A mixer (I) comprising a mixing container (2) having an internal volume, capable of rotation about a rotation axis (4), the mixer (I) being characterized in that it also comprises at least one ultrasound source (31, 32, 33, 34) capable of exposing at least one portion of said internal volume to ultrasound. The mixer preferably also has a heating system (II) and/or a grid (12) separating a portion of the internal volume of the mixing container (2). The mixer is usable in particular in the brewing of beer.

A beverage maker includes a water supply module configured to supply water used by the beverage maker, an ingredient supplier that is connected to the water supply module through a first main channel and that includes a plurality of ingredient holders, a fermentation module connected to the ingredient supplier through a second main channel and configured to receive ingredients from the ingredient supplier and water from the water supply module, a beverage dispenser connected to the second main channel, and a sub channel configured to connect the water supply module to the beverage dispenser.

A compact beer brewing system (1) has vessels (2, 3) configured to perform mashing, lautering and boiling brewing stages applicable in small scale craft brewing operations. The compact and cost efficient brewing system easily, precisely and repeatably controls and improves critical brew processes involved in brewing and serving by including bottom vessel (2) having an inner tun (28) configured to perform mashing and boiling stages, a top vessel (3) positioned above the bottom vessel (2) in fluid communication with the tun (28) and configured to perform lautering stage, and a pump (51) for moving fluid from the tun (28) to the top vessel (3). Preferably at least the bottom tun (28) and/or the top vessel (3) is/are substantially cylindrical, the diameter of the top vessel (3) is smaller than the diameter of the bottom tun (28) and the top vessel (3) is placed eccentrically over the bottom tun (28).
