That is wrong on so many levels

You don't want to squeeze bags! :blink:gold! and no need to squeeze the bag
I bought a 47" Vivo HD LCD from DSE last year.......It does a pretty damn awesome job.....Although bringing it home in my Barina was interesting. I actually took a short friend to drive my car home as I wouldn't have fit behind the wheel.
What is the cheapest price they go for suchi?
But seriously ... is there a patent on the Braumeister?
If not, then a well-made east asian version fabricated by people not on $30 euros an hour would come in WAY cheaper.
I reckon a Hyundai i30 vs a BMW 1 series kinda difference.
So if a 2-3 year old, twice used 50L Braumeister was available for $1,000, That'd be good buying???
Not that I can find. Speidels claim patent #DE 101 50 395 B4. That's a very strange numbering convention. Perhaps it relates to something German given the "DE", but they don't specifically note what exactly is patented anyway. The only thing I can really see as being patentable is the malt tube and most likely the vertical upwards flow process.
As to a "well-made asian version", it would be cheaper - significantly, but it's a complex, long process to get there.
I've been trying to engineer a "single-vessel" system that addresses what I see are drawbacks to the Braumeister, and to reduce the price, that could be manufactured in Asia.
It's not simple, however.
Dealing with the Chinese is a pain in the ass and requires big upfront money to proceed. The real savings are realized with big orders, but of course that means a very substantial investment straight away.

IANA(P)L but
That would be a German patent. An international patent is simply a patent registered in multiple countries
