Re: Minibrew
It certainly looks cool, but I'm not sure who it's marketed at.
Surely it's too expensive/complicated for beginners, and too limiting for more advanced brewers?
Once you've got the unit you either have to buy their recipes or pay them 90-100 Euros a year for membership to make your own. Feels a bit like the Gillette razor blade model, except the razor blade handle to get your started costs a grand.

Re: Minibrew
It's a gimmick in my opinion, if I want to try different grain, hop and yeast combinations I use an 11L pot on top of the stove, bag for the grain, bags for the hops, cool in sink after boil then add yeast. Really simple, and I get a minicask of beer and two or three bottles. Total cost of equipment less than £30.
