Abstract: An appliance includes an appliance for the home-brewing of beer that includes a brewing unit including a heating unit, a recirculation pump, a first steeping chamber having an inlet and a flow-controlled outlet, a supply line in fluid communication with the inlet, and a collector in fluid communication with the outlet. The recirculation pump has a draw line in fluid communication with the collector. The appliance further includes a fermenting unit physically separate from the brewing unit and having a vessel adjacent a temperature control assembly. The fermenting unit is selectively fluidically coupleable with the brewing unit for transfer of fluid from the brewing unit to the fermenting unit and fluidically decouplable from the brewing unit.
