The origin of iGulu was a simple yet profound vision: the art and joy of craft beer brewing that can be brought into homes all over the world. It was to make brewing craft beers as easy and fun as scrolling your favorite playlist but not feeling intimidated because you don’t know where to start. Brewing your own craft beer made from high-quality ingredients is just like flicking through your smartphone, tapping RFID, or using on-board touch screen on your kitchen counter to turn it into a microbrewery where modernity embraces tradition.
While iGulu is marketed as an all-in-one automated home brewery system, we at iGulu aren’t only obsessed about being cool-sounding. Instead, we’re here to spread joy and interest for craft beers by allowing anyone to be able to create it at home, whether it’s a seasoned brewer or someone who has only thought about it in passing, but never knew where to begin. The joy of beer brewing shouldn’t be hidden behind a complicated process or bulky and pricing equipment set ups. Instead, we’ve poured our hearts into designing a smart and sleek system that guides beginners through each step with ease and innovation, while allowing more skilled brewers the option to unlock Master Mode, unleashing a world of possibilities.
With an original crowdfunding goal of $100,000, the home brewing community shocked us by surpassing the goal by $600,000! This remarkable response means more than just financial backing. It helped show a collective belief in our vision to revolutionize home brewing, making it more accessible, enjoyable, and innovative. The funds raised go beyond the development of a product; they are an investment in a brewing movement that values quality, creativity, and community. This support enables us to enhance our technology, expand our capabilities, and most importantly, stay committed to our core mission of bringing the best of craft brewing to everyone, no matter the experience!
