"The manufacturer of KitchenAid, Maytag, and Whirlpool brands on Tuesday debuted a beer fermentor and dispenser system for aspiring home brewers, a way for Whirlpool to tap the craft beer craze that has lured 1.2 million home brewers in the U.S. alone. The device – called Vessi – can ferment, carbonate and dispense home-brewed beer in as little as seven days. Typically, traditional beer fermenting methods can take a month or longer." - Fortune
