Absolutely you can, once the mode changes from fermentation to dispensing then the CO2 kicks in automatically or you can use the 'Air Mode' if no C02. Or you can easily disconnect the inner C02 tube from the keg.
They ship worldwide, where in Ireland do ya live? Make sure to order via the link in the description- send me a screenshot of any issues to thebeardymancraftbeer@gmail.com and I'll look into it for ya.

Thanks for your input! I totally understand the desire for a larger capacity, especially for those who like to brew in bigger batches. The current 4-liter version of the iGulu F1 is designed to be compact, making it easier to fit in a kitchen or smaller space while keeping power consumption relatively low. This makes it a convenient option for home brewers who may not have the room or need for a larger system and want to keep to small batches. That said, your feedback is valuable, and it's definitely something that iGulu might consider for future models. It's possible we could see a 5-gallon version or larger capacity options down the road as the brand continues to evolve and respond to user preferences. Thanks again for your thoughts, and happy brewing!
And ... where's the fun of brewing? No grain, no hops... I really don't understand. This is a VERY expensive unit and the ingredient kits are ridiculously high priced. And it's actually not brewing... You're just mixing together some ingredients, some of which you cannot even properly identify. Looks more like a "lifestyle product" to me, but okay, some people will probably buy it for the flashy look ... To each his/her own, I guess.
Thank very much for sharing your thoughts! I completely understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate your perspective on traditional brewing. It's true that units like the iGulu F1 may not capture the full hands-on experience that some brewers love. However, brewing can be a subjective experience, and this system offers an alternative approach that might appeal to those looking to simplify the process. The iGulu F1 does indeed bypass some of the traditional brewday steps, but it's important to note that it still uses key brewing ingredients, like dry malt extract, hop extract and dry yeast, which are also utilised by many commercial brewers around the globe. These ingredients are all identifiable and play a crucial role in the brewing process on the iGulu. Yeah of course while it might not be for everyone, the iGulu F1 is designed for those who want to enjoy the brewing experience with a bit more convenience. For some, it's about the journey; for others, it's about the end result-and this unit caters to the latter. Thanks again for your feedback, and happy brewing, I'd love to hear other thoughts on the unit.
@@TheBeardyManCraftBeers You say that the ingredients are identifiable, which is true, but did you realize that the so-called hop extract contains propylene glycol (or E1520)? I, personally, wouldn't want that in my beer. In fact, here in Germany where I live, the use of E1520 in food products is strictly limited... I know that the corresponding limit value differs from country to country, but for me personally, I don't understand why I should tolerate a product from the chemical industry (this is NOT a natural product) in my beer...
Thank you for sharing your perspective, @axelk.4273 It's always great to hear a variety of views, especially when it comes to something as personal as taste and ingredient preferences. You're right that propylene glycol (E1520) is sometimes used in hop extracts, and I understand that its use can raise concerns for some. It’s worth noting that while propylene glycol is approved for use in food and beverages by many regulatory bodies around the world, including in certain brewing processes, I totally respect your decision to avoid it based on your values and preferences. At the same time, it’s important that everyone feels welcome to share their views as long as they're based on facts. I encourage open dialogue about ingredients and brewing techniques, as it helps all of us make more informed decisions. Thanks again for your input!
Tapwater will work in Sweden, cheers for a good video!
Actually I used tap water on a recent experiment and it worked just fine
In which moment you add co2. Can you set machine to do everything and add co2 thing just before your first tap?
Absolutely you can, once the mode changes from fermentation to dispensing then the CO2 kicks in automatically or you can use the 'Air Mode' if no C02. Or you can easily disconnect the inner C02 tube from the keg.
In meantime I found I have sodastream available in my country delivered within 3 days so I can start brewing now. Thanks

8 pints, 2 days worth of beer! size is a bit of a bummer but its a cool concept
also looks very complex & over engineered. lots of waste from packaging :(
Is this a flat beer?
I use the C02
I'd want a 5 gallon version. 4 litres is not enough.

Your discount code doesn't work 😢
Hold off a moment, I'm checking this with iGulu to have it fixed, thanks a million
THEBEARDYMAN code has been fixed now if you would like to try it - thanks for letting me know!

It's for stupid rich people, who can afford to buy commercial kegs
