Complete HERMS setup Idea

G'day Guy's,
Well this weekend I told the guy to shove his business where it fits as I'm sick of the abuse, now that is out of the way one project I have in mind is designing a complete 'turn key' HERMS system which I imagine would sell for around 2.5K. Now how do you guys feel would it be a wasted effort or a winner.

Now to say a bit about myself, I do consider me to be an inventor and have a full off grid machineshop where I want to use my gear and ability to do projects where only me will make money but my customers will over joyed with the products I make.


Regards Bryan

Hi Bryan,

It seems to me that you really wouldn't be risking much. You'd have to make a demo/pilot to confirm it works and show potential customers, then I gather you'd make the systems to order.

From that point of view you are not going to outlay a lot of money, so I definitely think it's worth a shot if you think there is enough demand out there. Maybe you should also think about making other metal brewing-related equipment too?

Hi Oliver and Guy's,
I had a good chat with my mate who is a blacksmith and he likes the concept now on looking on the net I'm not finding much luck in researching the products so would you guys have some website links to where we can view some of this equipment.

Regards Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Check out this site: http://shop.beerbelly.com.au/

It is DrSmurto's LHBS of choice and they make some of their own equipment, I believe.

It might give you an idea of what others are doing. They are in Blair Athol.

Cheers,

Oliver

I think you'll find drsmurtos lhbs is brewadelaide these days. He does have beerbelly gear though.

Wayne at beerbelly does make some very good turnkey and AG gear.
I don't own any though :(
Can do it on my own for much less
