Im a dad of 2 kids and I work a job making aboit 1/4 of your old salary. With a little hard work I know I could be making more but that would require more travel and more time away from my family but I just cant do it. Was there some sort of event that happened that made you feel guilty that you were spending too much time working?

Glad you made this call. No kid has ever said that they appreciate all the stuff they got growing up moreso than facetime with their parents! Good luck on your business. One day Id like to do what youve done and start a business. Just need a good idea!

Steve, as with everything, the 1st of something is not necessarily the finished product (especially from a kickstarter plan) so with that said, are there any improvents coming to the Synek OG and what can we expect from Synek 2.0. Love love loving mine! Also when is the next round of Pioneer starter kits? A few breweries near me still havent gotten theirs!

Yes. This is correct. Patents on pharma drugs are even shorter I believe. Trying to recoup massive R&D expenditures, capital investments and people resources and make money before your patent is public domain isnt easy.

I think a lot of people in this thread forget that corporations employ tons of people as well. Mine employs 184k employees. Messing with the system to allow individual people to compete wouldn't necessarily be a great thing.

Being active on the Synek subreddit, the number #1 with the Synek functionality is likely the hose kinking issue because of the lack of room in the unit.

  1. Are there any fixes to that issue? Some folks really have difficulty and even being a seasoned pioneer, who has filled 10+ bags and put them in my unit, its difficult to do on the first try and not spray with beer.

  2. Any regrets going with the Kickstarter backers who revolted on the initial production design with the tap in the middle because it was too big. I bet a lot of them would like that extra space now rather than deal with tube kinks like is happening now!
