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

i realised after i posted but yeah would be very good for people who can't be arsed with the whole prosess and wouldn't drink that often (doesn't look very big) i wonder how it would taste

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.

malt shovel territory

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
