Can the PicoBrew Pico automatically make good beer?

the $800 peak over Pico wants to simplify the process of brewing beer here's how it works you order a Pico pack online which is a set of prepackaged ingredients meant for brewing Pico Beck's cost around 20 dollars depending on the type of beer you want once you have it all you need to do is stick it in this plastic bin push the bin into the Machine and hit start but it's not getting started that's the complicated part after the beer cooks you have to transfer it to a different gag you have to let it cool down you have to throw yeast in there you have to let it ferment so don't expect a quick turnaround that's all fine but it's still easy to make mistakes and introduce infection when brewing with the Pico brew Pico it doesn't help you control the temp during fermentation at all and after it cooks your beer it asks you to set your warts your unfermented beer out overnight to cool and that really worries me our first beer antes London al didn't turn out very good but I had high hopes for the second beer we made buffalo sweat an oatmeal cream stout from tall grass brewing we actually did a blind taste test with buffalo sweat using the Pico variety versus the canned commercially made buffalo sweat here's how it turned out Cheers this is a right interesting smells like beer there's some foam on there it's very sweet it's got a weird kind of sweet note to it thick it's pretty good it's kind of uh taste like it's kind of old man like I don't know kind of like funky this one maybe tastes like it's I've been open and just sitting and chilling a little bit I think he is from the can and he a is from the peak over I would guess that a was the can I would say this is the can and this is from the Pico brewery I would guess that the that the first beer the one I didn't like came from Pico brew and the second beer the more balanced one that tasted like a professionally brewed beer to me so I'd say that that was the canned beer I don't know it's torn I don't know overall because the flavor in this one was better I'm gonna say this one this one again my assumption is if everything worked the way it was intended in this universe this would probably be Pico brewed versus the camp so the good news there is that Pecos Buffalo sweat did fool a couple of people but it still didn't taste similar to the original variety and that's the goal if you live in a region without access to good beer this might help you expand your horizons so despite the fact that it is a cool idea I don't rod Lee recommend the $800 peak of rapido
