You are the first person to ask this, but I think it's a good question that needed to be asked. So I've made an update on the Kickstarter page about my last visit to the factory. In case you didn't see it, I'll also post the update here. I've received some questions about the manufacturer we...

I'm glad to see so many people excited about pledging for gear after we've added a third port. We received a lot of requests to change the designs of the equipment, and we've regrettably had to turn most of those down due to conflicting requests or the inability to make the change without a...

From the tests we've performed with the ThermoBarrel, we've had varied results. But in general, heat dissipates quickly during the initial phases of the mash. This is because the steel will absorb heat easily. This problem is lessened by pre-warming the mash tun and using a higher strike temp...

We understand the importance of a thermowell and temperature control for the fermenter. But we've decided not to add anything to the fermenter for the original product. Our goal is to keep the price as low as possible. In the future, we will be looking into selling two types of fermenters...

Word has come in and we are going to add a port. It will be the same size port as the other two. We will have details on the exact placement of the port in the next update. The next update will be sometime on the upcoming weekend.

Here's a schematic drawing of the ThermoBarrel. It's nothing fancy - just a standard domed false bottom design. We've looked into bottom draining, tri-clamps, and recirculation. You can actually modify the larger equipment to become bottom draining. Some home brewers in Europe do this with...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was trying to elaborate more on our business model, which is no frills, only functionality. I want to make it clear that our equipment is not the best. So I was agreeing with you. SSBrewTech has great equipment. And if I had the money to buy their Chronical...

Hi, I just found this thread. I didn't know there was a discussion going on about our Kickstarter here. If you don't mind, I can answer a few of your questions about the products and funding campaign. First of all, sorry about the long response, but there are a lot of good points brought up...

Thanks everybody for participating in the survey. You feedback is invaluable. Hopefully I can get a prototype built in the next few weeks. Ideally, I will be shipping a container over in two or three months, which means they could become available for sale late Winter/early Spring.

I'm an all-grain brewer who moved to China two years ago. I thought I would have to give up brewing when I moved here, but after I got settled in, I started brewing more than when I was back in the US. With my experience brewing abroad, I've come to see that some things are easier here and some...
