jca said:The lack of any mention of a manufacturer or model number kicks off my BS detector. It looks like just a big refrigerated tank and unlikely ever worth 30K.
Yeah, and I am just about curious enough to act interested and go see it. Unfortunately, I am stuck in Salt Lake City for about 48 more hours.carls47807 said:anyone live near vista, cA?
go check it out, haha
That was my thoughts, some sort of extract brewing system, just the boil kettle and the hardware for automation.david_42 said:Maybe it's a half barrel extract brewing system for a restaurant. If they paid $30K for it , I've got a couple bridges for sale FOB NY,NY
Germey said:Now that I look at it again, I think it may actually be a fermenter, but not for beer. It looks like a pilot scale bacterial fermenter. If it is, then the $30K would actually be the bargain reseller price. If they actually have one in their garage and are dumping it for $2,000, I would guess that the police should be alerted.

Google makes this the #1 result when beermachine@gmail is searched.
Think BYO or Zymurgy would be interested in an investigative piece?
BeerAg said:So, is it possible that this guy started a business selling microbiological fermenters to Universities and research labs? Then, maybe he had some success, ramped up production, and realized that he had saturated his market, and no one else would buy them?
So now, he has 200 biofermenters on his hands with no market. Instead of scrapping them, he is trying to sell them to a different market.
So, he could probably have provided a better description of capabilities of the machine, but I'm not sure that this is a guy who stole a bunch of biological equipment and is trying to pawn it off.
Based on my knowledge of brewing in the pharma industry, what you basically have is a very accurate, self-cleaning 35 gallon lagering machine capable of doing a diacetyl rest. Worth $3,500? Not to me.
