Prototype Previews: Hopback and Heat Stick

[TonyG]

Well, there goes another $50 out of my wallet...lol
Put me down for one when you start selling them.

 

[opusx11]

Bobby, will you be shipping the hot rod to Canada?

 

[djt17]

In for 1 of the 1st 50...please!

 

[NathPowe]

Yeah I'd like to grab a couple myself. Sounds like an amazing product Bobby.

Cheers,

 

[bbohanon]

Put me down for one of the sticks as well. PM sent on these as well.
Thanks!

 

[TheAleMaster]

I'm in for one of the first 50, too. PM sent as well. Thanks!

 

[LabRatBrewer]

I wish we could post pictures in this thread…

Hop bomb jr. Out in the wild today. Pretending to be a randall…

 

[Bobby_M]

I didn't know pic posting was restricted. Did it work as a randall?

 

[wbarber69]

It's working, we could have gone with slightly longer lines to reduce foaming but it's randalizing a DIPA hoptroctious.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

If you PM the picture I'll post it if it is a supporting member issue

Likewise, I was just gonna wait and order one once they're on the site, but looks like the first 50 may go FAST!

 

[ScubaSteve]

Yep, put me in for one of the Hotrods too Looks too good to pass up.

 

[Bobby_M]

I promise to post here as soon as they are available. There's no way 50 will go in a couple days. I will warn you guys though that they are going on my new website which will be cut over some time this week. I expect a full meltdown of my shipping process and turnaround time because everything will be brand new for me and my staff. Patience is the best gift you can give me.

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Any word on lead times for the new SS elements Bobby?

 

[Bobby_M]

Yes, they should be here by Thursday.

 

[Monkey-BB]

Hey Bobby-
So is the "Hot-Rod" going to be something I can just put into my keggle from the top, or will it have to go into a fitting?
Thanks

 

[Bobby_M]

The hot rod is a drop in immersion heating solution. No drilling big holes in the side of the pot.

 

[hungry4hops]

I want a hot rod! This is what I've been waiting for, to go electric

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Yes, they should be here by Thursday.

Awesome... Should we expect them for sale then maybe by the end of next week then?

Thanks Bobby!

 

[Bobby_M]

First, why did I decide to move the website this week? Duh, dummy, stupid. Anyway, assuming I get the new site sorted out and confirm I can accept payments and process shipping labels (it worked in testing), I will start selling both the hotrods and the new all stainless heating elements by the end of the week. I was going to allow hotrod orders a bit sooner, but it's counterproductive for people that want to bundle the hotrod with the elements in one order. Many would be compelled to get the order in right away, and then when they see that I haven't shipped yet, they'll want to add the element on. Finally, thanks for your patience!

I'd love to see what folks finished setups look like. Toying around the idea of supplementing my propane burner with one of these. Not sure if I need any fancy control other than an on/off switch (2000W in 6+ gallons)

 

[Bobby_M]

If it's just to supplement, you could literally just plug it in. I'm not a huge fan of that, but it's doable.

Statements like this one are why BrewHardware is always the first place I look for all of my equipment purchases. Obviously the products are innovative and exceptional, but it's this kind of thoughtful attention to detail and understanding of the customer that puts them over the edge as a vendor. Just my opinion of course, but I felt like a comment was deserved here.

Props Bobby, and I hope the transition goes as smooth as possible for you and your team.

Cheers to your continued success.
