Hey All: Hoping I can help shed some light on this discussion with the caveat that we're still in testing. However, we've gotten some very encouraging results. We're currently working with a coffee shop to R&D nitro cold brew for both mobile applications (they often do catering and sell at...

Hey Matt! For sure -- we know how hard it is to get a new product off the ground and the million things you never realize until you're knee-deep in the process. Happy you got to see the product in action! We partnered with these guys who do eight beerfests a year (the next one is in...

Thanks TheBeerNerd for thinking of our product when this concept came up. McLovinBeast57 -- It's a great idea and not 100% the same (though it is similar) to what we developed. You can see the basic assembly and function of the PortaDraft in our user guide here...

Hello All: It was more than a year ago that the discussion about our product--and fundraising--was started on this message board. We very much took the experience to heart and appreciated your feedback regardless of tone. I thought it might be useful to let everyone know a quick update on the...

Thanks again for the feedback and I appreciate the suggestions. I'll try to reply generally. We have filed a non-provisional patent for the novel aspects of the unit with respect to what has already been patented by the USPTO. There are specific design features that are unique and we have...

@Bobby I'm genuinely sorry that you feel that what we're doing is unethical. It comes a pretty big surprise -- I've had many conversations with everyone from friends to folks at the Small Business Administration about crowdfunding and have never heard that sentiment expressed. I've also...

Thank you all for thoughts/feedback. I'd certainly be willing to engage in a conversation about crowdfunding, but it's probably not appropriate on this forum. I can say that it has its strengths and weaknesses and, from what I can tell, will be a net-positive for us regardless of whether we hit...

@JonnySax Thanks for posting about us!! @TopherM We saw that product when we first were looking for portable draft beer systems three years ago. However, there were a couple of things that didn't work for what we had hoped to find: 1) it didn't have wheels that could easily go over pavement or...

What kind of regulator are you using? 8oz of CO2 should push a full half barrel. Try checking all of your air lines again as well as the way the bottle fits to your regulator. You could have a bad o-ring or some other problem that is resulting in a leak. Bike pump is a good short-term...

Also, to address the "oil in CO2 debate", in our extensive research we've found that it simply isn't the case. The smaller single-use air cartridges are made of stainless steel and filled with 99.7% pure CO2. The same is true for paintball tanks ... the tanks are stainless steel and do not have...

Hey Brewd00d! My team (PortaBeer) is actually developing a new portable beer system. I'll keep you posted on development. However, we are a little protective of the name :)
