When homebrewers do not use a smart electric brewery, they face various challenges that could impact the quality and consistency of their brewing process. The absence of automation means relying on manual tasks, which can result in errors and inefficiencies. Additionally, the lack of data logging features makes it challenging to troubleshoot problems and fine-tune recipes. Furthermore, without remote monitoring capabilities, brewers are limited in their ability to adjust and oversee the brewing process, reducing their option to re-create their own favorite beer recipes.
