I've seen this before and think there are a few problems with some of it but time will tell. For starters, I'm not sure it'll be so easy to lift 15 lbs of grain shown to squeeze the grains. Doesn't seem right.
But once again, I like the fact that technology is allowing home brewers so many options.

Looks kind of cool. I also wonder how awkward it would be to lift the grain out. I'll have to poke around on their website a little more.

I like some of his concepts, others seem un-necessary. What is the point of wireless control? Do I really need to sit in the living room while brewing beer in the kitchen? I don't use a computer to brew, don't want one for that. The hop carousel is cute, and would insure that you don't forget additions, but again, not really necessary unless you want to do something else while brewing. I also guess it is pretty expensive. The part that I really like is that he seems to have neatly combined the lifting and squeezing of grain.

Same reason people want to control other things wirelessly that are more easily done in person. LAZY. :lol:

System seems expensive compared to other options.
