That is different! Personally, I'm not interested but it does please me that we are seeing very creative ideas for the homebrewer.

Great idea! Especially for those without a brew fridge and limited space.

It doesn't look like its available yet. I did put my name in to be notified when there's more info and asked if they would let me review it!

If it can be made to work with my LBCs, I might have to get me one when they are out as long as they aren't priced stupidly.

Wow! If the price is right this is just what I need.
Don't really plan on making lagers, but living in S. Florida I need it to make ales.

When they did the Kickstarter for them, the price tag was around $400. A bit rich for what you get... And these won't work with LBKs - they are not deep enough for the rods.

I saw these at the National Homebrewers Conference in Philly this past June. They're kinda spendy, and personally, I'm not going to give up my lager fridge/JC combo to get one. But I have plenty of room for my set-up. Someone with limited space who really wanted to get into making lagers would probably consider it worth the price. But then the question arises -- If you don't have a kegerator, where do you actually lager your beer once you've bottled it?

They quote cost to operate, but never explain cost per kwh they are using. Bad Marketing.
