When the air pump 152 is driven and the air supply passage 154 is opened, the air injected by the air pump 152 can be injected into the fermenter along the air supply passage 154. The air injected into the fermenter can increase the pressure inside the fermenter.

The gas discharge passage 71 may further include a gas discharge relief valve 75. The gas discharge relief valve 75 can prevent the pressure of the beer making pack 12 from increasing sharply.

The configuration included in the gas outlet passage 71 may be a gas discharge relief valve 75, a pressure sensor 72, a gas opening / closing valve 73, and an air filter along the gas discharge direction of the beer making pack 12.

The air supply passage 154 may further include an air relief valve 158. The air relief valve 158 can prevent the pressure in the space between the fermentation tank and the beer making pack 12 from rapidly increasing.

The configuration included in the air supply passage 154 may be an air pump 152, an air control valve 156, and an air relief valve 158 along the direction in which the air is injected.

The beer brewing flow path 61 may further include a bubble blocking portion 63. The bubble blocking part 63 can minimize the bubble of the beer to be taken out.

The structure included in the beer take-out passage 61 may be the bubble shut-off portion 63 and the beer take-out valve 62 along the direction in which the beer is taken out.

The controller 109 can drive the air pump 152 to maintain the pressure inside the beer making pack 12. [ The controller 109 can determine that the beer in the beer making pack 12 has been consumed when the pressure inside the beer making pack 12 drops below a predetermined value even if the air pump 152 is driven.

Further, the amount of beer taken out per unit time at the time of taking out the beer may be pre-stored data. Therefore, the controller 109 can calculate the beer take-out amount by measuring the time when the beer is taken out. The controller 109 can calculate the amount of beer taken out by measuring the time when the main valve 9 is turned on. Alternatively, the controller 109 can calculate the amount of beer taken out by measuring the time when the limit switch 630 is turned on.

The controller 109 can calculate the amount of beer taken out, thereby calculating the remaining amount of beer in the beer making pack 12.
