What's The Power Consumption Of A Machine?Updated 2 months ago

At MiniBrew, we want you to have a clear understanding of the power consumption of our brewing system. Here's a breakdown to help you navigate the energy usage:

• Base Station Power Usage:

• The base station operates at a maximum of 1200-1300 watts during brewing.
• On average, it consumes around 50 watts during the cooling phase of the brewing process.

Smart Keg Power Usage:

• During fermentation, the Smart Keg utilizes 10-20 watts to maintain the optimal temperature for your beer.
• The actual power consumption during fermentation can vary based on the environmental temperature.

Understanding the cost

Based on the assumption of a €0.20 cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) (please check your own cost at your region), you're looking at approximately: €0.04 for the brewing process and €0.72 for fermentation over an average of 10 days 

To put these costs in context, let's compare it to the daily energy consumption of common kitchen devices. For instance, your morning coffee ritual with a typical coffee machine can cost you around €0.10 per brew per day. So 10 days would cost €1.

 In contrast, the brewing and fermentation phases of your MiniBrew, even at their highest estimates, remain cost-effective and energy-efficient.
