    Was just watching Tech 360 and saw this. Looks interesting. Anybody have any experience with this? Claim is that it takes out all the guess work and only takes 7 days. ://www.williamswarn.com/

    For $5,660 or whatever this is, you could buy all the bells and whistles (and THEN some) of a damn-near-professional extract AND all-grain home-brewery. A couple of dedicated refrigerators with temp controls for fermentation and serving, heating pads, all the burners, malt mills, testing and measuring equipment, boil kettles, mash tuns, chilling gizmos, and a WHOLE lot more. Not to belittle a product without trying it, but this product SEEMS like it's marketed to people who don't really understand even the basic principles of extract brewing but have a $%#^-ton of cash laying around that needs to be blown. Their 'problems' with homebrewing (12, I believe?) are also highly misleading. I'd stear clear of this product, fwiw.

    I'd like to see one first. Reminds me of a home bread maker. Costly at 6 grand and it looks like there are some issues that need to be worked out. Still, I would be interested to at least see one in action

    Valid points. The thing that makes this look interesting is that it consolidates this into a much smaller area and it takes a lot less time. You would probably spend the same amount of $ with all that other equipment. They do have some issues that they are trying to work out. I would like to see the end results.

    To me, time spent brewing is not wasted. If you're not homebrewing solely because of the time it takes, then this machine isn't Sally going to solve it.

    For 6K your getting an extract brewing system that relies on someone else's brew kits. If you want beer and don't want to exert any effort making it, why not just buy beer off the shelf?
