Claims19
An apparatus for brewing and dispensing a beverage, such as an alcoholic beverage, comprising:
- a fermentation container for containing and fermenting a beverage, the fermentation container comprising a first outlet;
- a collector for collecting waste from the fermentation container, the collector being attachable to and detachable from the fermentation container at the first outlet,
- wherein the first outlet is moveable between:
- a first position in which the first outlet is configured to form a pressure-tight seal to seal the fermentation container when the collector is not attached to the fermentation container;
- and
- a second position in which the first outlet is configured to allow fluid communication between the fermentation container and the collector when the collector is attached to the fermentation container so that waste from the fermentation container collects in the collector;
- and
- a tap assembly that is attachable to and detachable from the fermentation container for dispensing a beverage from the fermentation container,
- wherein the collector is configured to enclose the tap assembly when the collector is attached to the fermentation container and to expose the tap assembly when the collector is not attached to the fermentation container.
