Beer Brewing Bender Completed

An anonymous reader writes "The Beer Brewing Bender Project is finally completed. This is a fan built, full sized Bender from Futurama featuring a 6502 CPU powered brain to make him speak triggered by a prop remote control straight out of the show. Inside his body is a beer fermenter used to brew up a batch of real Benderbrau beer!"

    Scene: Citihall: Mayor's Office. A pizza slice splats against the window.

    Poopenmeyer: It's time to take action. [He presses the intercom.] Stephanie, cancel the maid for today. Have her come tomorrow. [He leans back into his chair.] Well, I'm out of ideas. Anyone?

    Farnsworth: Wait! If we could build an object the exact size, density and consistency of the garbage ball, it might just knock the ball away without smashing it to bits.

    Leela: But where can we find a substance the exact density and consistency as garbage?

    Farnsworth: Alas, I don't know.

    Fry: Uh, what about garbage?

    Farnsworth: Good Lord! A second ball of garbage! That just might work!

    Poopenmeyer: But garbage isn't something you just find lying in the streets of Manhattan. This city's been garbage-free for 500 years!

    Fry: Then it's time to make some more.

    Poopenmeyer: Make garbage? But how?

    Fry: Stand back and watch the master! This Slurm can. [He knocks it on the floor.] Now it's garbage. These papers. [He sweeps them off the desk with his hands.] Garbage. This picture of your wife. [He drops it on the floor and the frame smashes.] Pure garbage. Now you try it.

            Poopenmeyer picks up a pencil and drops it on the floor.

    Poopenmeyer: By God, I think the boy's got something. Come on, everyone! The fate of the city is at stake!

            He turns a chair on its side.

    Fry: Good! [He turns to Leela.] Don't finish that cruller, throw it away [Leela throws it on the floor.] Bender. Drink that beer and drop the bottle on the ground. [Bender throws the bottle on the floor.] Very nice.

    Poopenmeyer: Get that robot some more beer! [Bender smiles.]

    Also, because of what they made it out of, if there's ever a problem with the beer Bender can smoke too! Is that a tap in the front for the beer? Cuz if it is it's placement is very... poor...

      1. Clean and sterilise the bottles. I use 750mL plastic PET bottles. A batch of beer will fill 30 of them.

      2. To each bottle add sugar. I use sugar drops and add two per bottle (see below). The additional sugar is to allow for extra fermentation in the bottle. This is what causes the beer to have bubbles.

      3. Remove the airlock from the top of the fermenter to allow the beer to flow freely.

      4. Warm your hands (Not normally necessary but Bender insisted on this step before letting me near his tap).

      5. Slowly, with each bottle tilted to avoid frothing, fill each bottle from the tap.

      6. Tightly cap each bottle.
