Can't wait to get mine! So excited. Looks like a great project. Congrats on reaching your funding goal!
March feels so far away...I can't wait to get mine. Congrats on meeting your goal. I wouldn't be surprised if you pass it by almost 10k.
This is the only thing that is holding me back from pledging. I want to start new projects right now
Well, if you want this... you'll have to wait till March, and if you don't pledge soon... you will be paying 200$ plus, after next March.
What happened to the 150$ price point that you said on reddit?
"Our temperature controller has WiFi, a nicer display, is remote controllable, can control two outputs independently based on two temperature inputs, and most importantly will be considerably less expensive than their final price of $200."
"BrewPi is more like $150, and I can tell you that we will be very competitive with that. The market is certainly an open question. That is part of the reason why we are going the KickStarter route rather than funding it ourselves or seeking VC/loans/etc because it lets us test out the demand without a large initial investment. If the demand is not there, then our campaign will fail and we will move on. We think that we are adding a lot of capability to this product above and beyond the alternatives, but as you said the market will decide the value of that."

It was $150 if you pledged on Kickstarter. If you missed out on that, you can preorder a unit on their website for $200.
Now that I have been thinking about all the things I want to do with it, I should have pledged for 2! Come on March...
I think thats a terrible move by them. $150 is a perfect price point for this thing. At $200 I doubt they sell as many.
They haven't started shipping yet. They had to do a redesign on the case so it would be compatible with international and US connections.
Should start shipping in Mid April
Meh, I am willing to wait considering I saved 25-30% off retail. Functionally, I am fine with my STC-1000 setup for now so I am not losing anything here.
This thing is just too cool to pass up for such a bargain, plus I love having the ability to help a startup with a great idea get off the ground.

Sure would be nice if the BrewBit crew could throw us a bone in the form of an official update. They haven't updated their blog since last October.
I'm definitely a potential customer, but going radio silent doesn't build confidence...
ok... I ordered the STC1000 for one of my chest freezers for now... I can't believe how cheap that thing is.... Since brewbit has been so quiet I'll go ahead and assume they won't be shipping within nine days.... I'm totally looking forward to getting the two that I ordered though; just need to get some beer kegged and can't wait.
Why didn't you buy that 10 months ago when we were all buying in on this? It's what I have been using for 2 years now, it's great but still manual if you want to slowly ramp a Saison, which is what I am doing often.
I have been pretty patient but I'm starting to get a bit anxious.
