...Unfortunately, I have given up hope that BrewNanny or Gary Lyons will ever deliver ordered units, mainly due to the lack of updates and/or communications from either.
I hope I am wrong for the KS Backer's sake as well as others, but do not believe I am.
As I understand it, the delay in posting the picture was that the Loch Ness Monster, who was taking the photos, was having laptop problems. So Nessy gave the files to Sasquatch, who will be uploading them shortly.
This should be interesting, saw this on the kickstater page comment section:
"We will be posting a comprehensive update in a few days. We are getting some photos together of the shop with our staff assembling BrewNanny's and have some other exciting developments to share."
The local drug store must be having issues developing the photos that were taken with his 110 Kodak camera, or maybe he's having trouble getting 110 film for his camera.
don't worry dudes - the kickstarter for developing film prints is funded and in 6 months you'll have the photos

It's interesting to see the BN creator's most recent post about getting some photo's together and posting... If you go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lyonslabs/brewnanny-home-brew-monitor?ref=nav_search, you'll see that he say's he has had a career in photography...
Certainly if the BN exists it wouldn't take over 7 days to snap a few photo's and post them...
Take a look at this kickstarter....someone is trying to create an app so you can have beer delivered to you. I mean come on! Who was the idiot at kickstarter who let this guy on, the picture of the guy just screams "I'm just going to take your money". Oh and the only real risk is creating the APP.... try state laws that don't allow this at all (at least in Texas). Granted this would be awesome but its far away from realistic.

All backers should unite together and demand a comprehensive update, as promised, by a specific date. If we don't get it by that date we all file disputes with our CC companies and contact Kickstarter to let them know he has violated their agreement by not fulfilling the rewards to his backers.
Every single one of the backers should report the project On Kickstarter. At the BrewNanny kickstarter page go to the campaign tab and scroll to the bottom and report that there is a post funding issue. This can only help our cause since the creator has quite clearly misled every one of his backers and is now seemingly attempting to keep putting us off as long as possible. There is power in numbers and Kickstarter does NOT want to be affiliated with these types of projects/people. It can be bad press for them.
Glad you got your money back! Which credit card company was it? I submitted my dispute a couple weeks ago, so I'm still waiting to hear.
Just got a letter from my credit card company.... took 60 days but they refunded my $499. Hope everyone else gets their money back.
You should really share this on the Kickstarter page if you haven't already. I'm
glad you got some justice. Either this guy is the most disorganized business owner ever or a shyster.
Kickstarter update finally out. Not sure it really explains much. What I'd really like to know: how many have actually shipped? What I really want to hear: I'm sorry about all this and I'm trying hard to make it right. That neither of these are included in the update is a huge disappointment.
Might need to come up with my own KS project called the "BrewNessie"... basically a $10 hydrometer with an attached string for retrieval that you float in your carboy... It could be yours for $39.95 and we begin shipping tomorrow.
You may not be too far off, you just gave me an idea! Who is a patent attorney?!
