Kombucha made in HOPii
With HOPii, you always get the perfect tasting craft beer at its freshest condition, every single time.
Performing fermentation under a well controlled environment is most important to the taste of the craft beer. With HOPii, the fermentation happens in a completely closed system with various smart sensors and algorithms monitoring the gravity and controlling the temperature and pressure in real-time, every step of the way.
Ingredients consist of pure wort exactly as made by the brewer, the exact same yeast, dry hops and flavors that the brewer uses to brew the craft beer. Our algorithms perfectly match the brewer's recipes and brew exactly as how the brewer brews the same craft beer, yielding the best tasting, freshest craft beer you have ever tasted!
Craft beer tastes the freshest right after the brewing is done. Taste starts degrading as soon as the beer leaves the tank. HOPii enables the best tasting freshest craft beer by enabling drinking right from the tank as soon as the brewing is done - at its freshest ever!
Depending on the craft beer, brewing can typically take around 7 days for traditional American ales. You can drink the craft beer right from HOPii or can remove the brewed craft beer bottle, store it in a refrigerator and immediately brew another one while drinking the one that you just brewed. This will enable having a constant supply of the freshest tasting craft beer for your drinking pleasure or stack up for a party! Because HOPii is a completely closed system, the freshness of your craft beer will last a long time.
HOPii is the only device that you need
With HOPii, there is no extra fermenters or kegs needed. Just plug HOPii into an outlet, put in the bottle and ingredient pack and press START. HOPii will take care of the rest!
We are craft beer lovers just like you! We had moved abroad from California and missed drinking great Californian craft beers. One day, we went to a pub that was one of the most well known. When we ordered and drank their beer, however, the taste was so horrible that we literally shouted out, “Oh my god! This beer is horrible!”. The brewmaster heard us and took us to the backstage where the craft beers were being made. He poured a glass right from the tank and gave to us to drink. We drank the beer and realized that the taste was amazing! We said, “Wow, this craft beer tastes amazing! What is it?” That was when he said, “It’s the same beer that you had outside, but this one is fresh right out of the tank. We just made it today”.
We realized that freshness really matters to a taste of a craft beer, but the only ones who get to experience this freshest taste right out of the tank were the brewers. We asked ourselves, “why can’t every craft beer lover get to try this amazing experience of drinking a freshest craft beer right out of the tank?”
This was when HOPii was born.
As we designed HOPii, we knew it needed to be the most beautiful thing on your counter-top. We said, HOPii's design must be simple, elegant and luxurious. To make this happen, we spent countless hours and many prototypes designing HOPii.
Our engineers also worked countless number of sleepless nights making such a technologically advanced device fit into a small form factor.
Here are photos of past HOPii prototypes that we had developed :
In summer of 2017, HOPii was selected into the prestigious HAX Accelerator!
We attended and showcased HOPii at many conferences. There, we were selected as one of the top startups and were asked to pitch our company in front of the attendees!
What's next for HOPii? Well, this is where you come in. We would love to hold hands with you and define the future of HOPii. Please join the project by pledging. Let's make this happen together!
HOPii's specification is as follows :
Each beer kit comes with the following and makes 3L of the freshest tasting craft beer :
We will be working to make the containers environment friendly.
We have brewed over 1000 pints of various different craft beers using HOPii and got approvals from the original brewmasters that they not only taste perfectly, but some of them said the craft beer from HOPii tasted even better than the ones from their own tanks!
Here is a demo of starting the brewing of craft beer on HOPii. (we didn't record the entire brewing process as the video would have been too long)
Here is a demo of HOPii's automatic cleaning feature.
On HOPii, you can dispense craft beer directly right after brewing, or by putting in a previously brewed and stored craft beer bottle. Here is a demo of dispensing a craft beer by putting in a stored craft beer bottle.
We are ready to manufacture our final production units for delivery by mid next year, but we need your help to complete the project!
This project has been a very long time in the making with lots of sleepless nights and caffeine (and craft beer). You are so important to us and we need your help to bring this vision to life. Please join us in making world class craft beer by pledging to our project. Cheers!
