This is not an April Fool's Joke

Can't believe my eyes when I saw the price tag for this automated 10 gallon system:

You could certainly show this to the SO if they question how much you spend on homebrew equipment.

With it being April 2nd and all I must be missing the "fool" part

Not a bad deal really since they throw in the growler, stein and mash paddle.

I was going to say that... but if you have that much money to throw at a brewing system, you probably don't have any friends because your a tool.

WOW....I would like to know if they have ever actually sold one ?

Obviously it's silver plated and designed by Apple.

Did somebody misplace a comma?

Look up Hermes Birkin bag and you'll fall off your chair. Cheapest one is around $16K going up to around $80K.....for a purse.
With that system, your beer may be 10X better though.

When I was pricing out my system i came across a German made homebrew system. Forget who was offering it. It was all copper and brass and stainless. 1/2bbl max capacity.

~$90k USD and no fermenter.

I love that the fermenter literally has an aquarium temp strip on it

Looks like a bunch of blichmann stuff thrown together and marked up 10x. Not surprising for hammacher schlemmer. That's their business model.
