I liked the stackable bit lol. Bit expensive for only 20l batches.

Six guys involved + half of Portland, 100kg weight and 4' by 4' all for 20 ltr batches? I can imagine price of it will cover all the effort. They could learn from Dempsey. A BrewBoat it is.

[Ciderhead]

I can't see the cost how much are they looking for?

Don't know, I'm only guessing it will be pricey.

If you donate 1.5k on kickstarter you get one.

Few issues I see:

The plate chiller doesn't look like it will be easy to remove and clean.
The weird shaped fermenter is gonna make it difficult to get all your beer out after fermentation. Plus you'll get a lot more yeast in the beer with that shape.

Also only runs off Apple which is another big problem.

If they can develop an app on apple, I'm sure they can do the same for android easily enough.
It looks ideal for someone with limited space. It looks like a piece of furniture. Just take the potted plant off it on brewday.
Ideal apartment brewing.

Great idea, and lovely design but...

Sending to FV at 31.93C?

Aye, saw that. I dont see any way of recircing the cooling wort from the plate chiller back to the BK either. I do this to leave the break material behind. With this setup its all going into that wide fermentor with no way of drawing it off.
