RRP for about AU$25O

although I havn't found prices for the Beer Mixes or the CO2 bulbs.

Yeh, seen them before, but you are still required you to make the beer before putting into those bottles. This machine is an all in 1 unit. You have no control with the flavor but has to better than commercial beer.

This unit would probably not appeal to most people on this forum but I can see some benefits. Especially for someone in one of those 1 bedroom appartments in a major city, or people who can't be bothered with the whole homebrew process this would be good for them. You could even take this on your trip around Australia.

I like most poeple here would not buy one myself, but I think the concept is a good idea

it says it makes 28 x 12oz servings. I'm not great with conversions but I put that at about 10L which is not to bad.

That iBrew thing looks pretty good.

Although they imply that it will only last 'weeks' after carbonation. I wonder what's limiting the life?

I live in Norway and bought the Beer Machine 2000 online here for about AUD$200. I only ever made beer in it with the companys own beer mixes and they were terrible. I also had trouble carbonating in the same vessel fermentation has taken place in. Perhaps I might have got better results had I known more about brewing and made beer with better quality products. In the end I was lucky enough to sell it for about $150 to some local uni students and felt bad taking their money as I told them how good it was!! Anyway, thankfully I didnt give up thanks to this forum and have since been making very nice beer.

Cheers
