Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for the automated production of fermented beverages are provided. The device may be modular, portable and/or self-cleaning. The device includes a housing with chambers that receive a removable fermentation vessel with yeasts and ingredients capable of undergoing fermentation. Flavoring agents and other ingredients may also be added to produce beer, wine, or other alcoholic libations of profound character and freshness. The device includes a controller that initiates fermentation, senses the fermentation status and automatically controls fermentation parameters based on a desired fermentation profile. The controller automatically directs parameters such as carbonation, conditioning, aging, and chilling according to a programmed recipe or consumer preference to create an enjoyable customized beverage.
