BrewNanny - What do you think?

[AF1HomeBrew]

Just got this in e-mail from Lyons. Sez to go here:

http://www.brewnanny.com/community/

He's using his site to show updates so that people can't reply or add comments publicly, instead of the original site where he's collected most of his money. He's got his hands full of negative comments/replies on the KS and Facebook pages.

I like the photos, with the monies raised it looks like they would spring for a newer oscilloscope or at least buy the lady a stool.

Hilarious... The BN facebook page https://www.facebook.com/brewnanny?fref=ts & BrewNanny site http://www.brewnanny.com/brewnanny-to-offer-products-for-micro-brewers/ are "advertising" the BrewNanny to Microbrewers now.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Did he delete the Facebook page?

Did he delete the Facebook page?

It's pretty slim as far as comments go. I am pretty sure some of them must be deleted.

I get a "Page Not Found" error page when I follow the link.

The Facebook page is still active, although they are still in Unicorn and Big Foot mode as far as any proof that the BrewNanny exists...

 

[Roadliner]

I'd say atleast Big Foot mode. There are pictures of a thing that resembles the claim. Its a little above unicorn.

 

[CJ-3]

You can definitely see someone has deleted almost all of the comments on Facebook.

 

[texwake]

Looks like some are still there.

Does he still owe anyone money that is still seeking a refund?

 

[Andyoesq]

I saw this too and thought the same thing. I usually ferment in a keg. I'm sure it could be adapted to it. I would have pulled the trigger on the early bird price.

why does this tread keep generating the same quote by different new users.

Wow, that looks like a high tech solution searching for a problem to solve. I think I will just spend the money on more grains and hops and stick with my low tech solution.

Spambots now have the ability to copy paste comments from previous posters to make them appear to be legitimate users.

If you guy see this happening, please use the REPORT button below and we will make sure they are spammers and knock them the F out!

 

[unionrdr]

I noticed that myself, but didn't think of the spambot thing. Haven't seen those in a while. I'll keep my eyes open from now on...

Not sure how many have received a refund , but thanks to my CC company I can say at least 1. Note to self - NEVER back another Kickstarter project again!

For those of you that need some encouragement and have backed this KS floating turd or purchased on the brewnanny website you should contact your credit card company NOW. Why pay for something that doesn't exist? Either you'll get your money back or they will pull their heads out of their a**es and poof the BrewNanny's will finally be made available... Either way you win.

I purchased one, not through KS but through website, back in November. I've pee'd away more money than that on stupid stuff on the weekend...LOL...so I'm going to wait and see what happens for the sole purpose of being able to report to my friends here on HBT how it functions, how long it took me to obtain it, and it's capabilities in comparison to standard measuring techniques, etc. Of course this all hinges upon actually receiving it. I have received several e-mails lately from them indicating they are preparing to ship. I'm calling bullsXXT and I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Yesfan]

Just been skimming through this thread. I thought this "product" was $250, but I see the price is $498 and it is sold out until June 1st? WTF? Guess I'll just have to take that money and spend it on airlocks.


Wow, didn't release that air locks were so cheap!! For the price of a Brew Nanny, I can buy 334 airlocks!!! Holy crap this is awesome!

But where the hell am I going to store 334 fermentors????

 

[invictusbrew]

Wow, this thread blew up. I first read it when it was only a page or two, thought "hey, there's something I can do without!" and moved on. Finally reading through the rest of this, I'm certainly happy with my decision. I'm very sorry to those who bought into this and have not been able to get a refund (I'm glad to see you were able to get your money back, AF1HomeBrew). To those still waiting on product, you have amazing patience, I applaud you.

 

[Cottonmouth]

$498 ???

W. C. Fields was right

 

[unionrdr]

I too thought it was way too expensive for what it is. not a good price to make a successful home brewing product, in my opinion.

Your article should go front page of HBT if it does with the headline "It does exist" or something along those lines.
Just throwing gasoline on an already lit fire.

If they fold maybe they can rebrand it as the BrewNoney.

 

[cryhav0c]

LMAO. Good idea!

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

I am mulling over the idea of seeing this idea through, maybe not exact. I will not be looking for profits, and it will be opensource.

 

[texwake]

Any updates?

Guys, seriously, I am worried about the delivery guys.

On December 23, 2014, Brewnanny wrote "We are having some issues due to the time of year, our carriers are not picking up on schedule and are not taking as many shipments as we have, so we are backed up with orders ready to go but unable to get them out the door."

Surely, in the last 6 months, they have been picked up. But, not a single report of a single delivery.

The only conclusion I can reach is that the delivery men were attacked, as they tried to cross our war-ravaged countryside, which is overrun with brigands and marauders. I dispatched ravens and messenger pigeons, seeking some word on the fate of the deliverymen, in the hopes that one of the messages would get through. To date, there has been no word. I fear that all deliverymen were lost. That is the only reasonable conclusion I can reach.

Gary Lyons must have moved manufacturing of the BrewNoney to the island that the TV show Lost was filmed on... Apparently due to him and his team old ladies so busily building and shipping these things out, he (or one of his old ladyfriends) forgot to type that code into the Apple II computer every 104 minutes and the island imploded.
