Grow Your Own Beer Garden

Gizmo of the Day, Sports, Health & Fitness, Outdoors, Tools, DIY, Home, Office / By /

Build your own Beer Garden Grow your own beer garden using this kit from ThinkGeek that easily grows hops, barley and wheat for brewing your perfect mug of beer.

Homebrewing is all the craze as more and more folks create their own beer. This kit takes homebrewing to the extreme by helping you grow your own ingredients to homebrew.

You will find it fun, rewarding, and tasty to grow your own beer making plants. With the Grow Your Own Beer Garden kit, the plants sprout and grow quickly and easily. You’ll get the magic three: hops – the flavoring and stability agent of beer; barley – integral in making beer and able to regulate blood sugar levels for up to ten hours after consumption; and wheat – used to aid in fermentation and is the second most produced food in the world. All three of these plants fuse together to make great beer!

By the way, this kit is rated for ages 4 and up! While I’m sure the manufacturer meant this for the growing part, I found this funny nonetheless.

Gardenwatch Cam

The Gardenwatch Cam is a snappy little innovation that lets you record your garden growing by taking pictures at predetermined intervals (standard ones are 1 min, 5 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours or set your own!) in JPEG format, and them playing them back to you in a Discovery Channel-style long exposure movie.

The pictures are taken with a 1.3MP camera and stored on an 8GB internal memory. All-in-all it’s quite an interesting product, and might brighten up your desktop with some amazing photos of the plants and the sunrise that you just wouldn’t be awake for otherwise.

OfficePOD

No, this isn’t another April Fool’s joke – the OfficePOD personal office takes working from home to a new level. More and more people are working from home these days, but many find they get put off by distractions around the home, such as noisy pets and noisy children. The OfficePOD allows you to have your own office just outside your home giving you the best of both worlds; you don’t get distracted and you can get to your office in 10 seconds!

The innovation is made out of luxury materials and will be available primarily for the UK market to rent for abut $7100 a year – you’d definitely want your company to be paying for this. I can, however, see one major flaw – where do you go for your Starbucks on your way to the office?
