racs, I highly recommend the Kegco 209. I purchased one from beveragefactory.com a few months back, the triple tap with faucets, co2 tank, guages, etc. In other words, everything you need as a kit. It was then $649.00. I love this kegerator, no problem with chilling down to 33 degrees and is...

Joe - Again, I personally have issues with the way you've chosen to implement your new/upgraded version of iBrewMaster2. And as I said before, it's not really about the money, but principles. I have purchased almost every iOS app dealing with brewing that's available. I do support vendors that...

Joe - I do take issue with some of your statements about Apple's app store and the rules. I've stated my position on this in the past. An example, you do have a way to know installed copies of iBrewMaster1, and can make a link available to those users to install a special version at a set...

You see, I'm in the software development field and it is not industry standard to say, "This is not an update, but a brand new, rewritten program." Not the case at all, while the underlying code is probably optimized and has new features, it still looks like iBrewMaster, still operates like...

First of all, this is a forum and the topic of this thread is iBrewMaster2. No boycott, just people giving opinions and experiences from having purchased the product. This developer released this app 2 or 3 months early based on his own website saying it would be released sometime in July. I...

If money is not an issue, I think I would go for the 50L just for flexibility. I personally have the 20L and it's just perfect for me. I do 6 gal batches and server is 3 gal corny kegs. However, I couldn't do big, high gravity beers in this setup without modifying my current malt pipe. The way I...

Galc, the inner grain tube has a seal on the bottom, it's placed in the kettle, then a false bottom and screen placed next. Then, it's filled with grain, up to 13/14 lbs and then another false bottom and screen placed on top of the grain. There's also a device that clamps the malt pipe down to...

Below are the receipts to show pricing structure from BeerAlchemy v1 to v2 with dates:

If you had BeerAlchemy installed already, you were prompted that an upgrade was available and you could purchase for 4.99. I don't know how it was done, however, this is an example of how to treat existing customers with an upgrade policy. I actually own all three major mobile apps for brewing...

I also read into the above quote that he would really like to make this a subscription type software license where you pay so much per year to use his software. DerCribben, you are obviously fine with his pricing structure and business model. On the other hand, I am not. Like I said above...

I don't have a problem with supporting this guy. What I do have a problem with is misleading his existing customers. I'll post his explanation for charging so much for the upgrade pricing to his loyal customers: From his Facebook wall: This is absolutely not the case. I just recently updated...

Well, I thought we were getting some kind of break on the price. As stated, special discount pricing for existing users, only $17.99. He also states in his blog that he would've considered lower pricing for existing users but the appstore structure won't allow that. First, that is total hogwash...

I have a Braumeister 20L and it's perfect for 6 gal batches and the 3 gal kegs are my choice as I can get 2 from each brew-day.

Exactly. Drag and drop hop additions once entered would be a nicety, but not as important as being able to edit times with the clock API function instead of the swiping in one-minute increments. Once you choose a 90 minute boil, each additional hop you add will default to 90 minutes and you have...

I just purchased your app. I use beer alchemy and its one glaring omission, or fault, depending on your perspective, is mash and hops timers that are integrated with recipe configuration. I understand your app is at version 1, but I'll give you some feedback based on my initial experience with...

I had to add a few parts for the lid. From Brewers Hardware, they welded a "barb" fitting underneath the lid at the triclover fitting that's on top. I just use about a 18" of high temp silicone tubing pushed up on the barb and curl on the top of the grain. I added a 90 degree to the top of the...

The only issue you'd have with a keggle is the opening. That would have to be large enough to accommodate the inner basket and the inner basket would have to be large enough to hold your grain bill. Jim

And here's where I believe the Braumeister gets it's great efficiency. The pump rest, in my opinion, is for the grain bed agitation. This is why I don't put any type of seal around the metal top and bottom plates to the malt pipe as this would hinder them from freely moving when the system has a...

Greg, no conical bottom on the kettle. However, there's an area in the center, I'm guessing about 7" diameter, that is indented and after whirlpooling would hold some of the trub.

Lylo, I haven't tried mine yet, but I'm planning on about 1 gal boil off / hr. This might be slightly high depending on how rapid the boil is. I'll report back after I try mine. As far as the cord, I have a 4 prong dryer receptacle that i'm going to use. I found a heavy duty computer/server...
