I get a ton of big beer companies (well, technically their PR companies message me) asking that I promote products like Bud Light Margarita and Towels. This is the first product pitch I&#8217;ve received from a normal guy who is also the creator of the product and is doing his own self-marketing which I appreciate. PR reps are annoying. I would know, I used to be one.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Caleb had this to say:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am also a homebrewer as well as an electrical engineer. I have recently created a gadget to help during the fermentation process and have released a Kickstarter project for it to help get this project off the ground, it&#8217;s called the Fermostat. It is a programmable thermostat for use during fermentation. I&#8217;m just trying to get the word out about it and I&#8217;m hoping to catch your interest. If you enjoy it, I&#8217;d love it if you forward some information on about it. Here&#8217;s the Kickstarter link:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1655011769\/the-fermostattm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1655011769\/the-fermostattm<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks Caleb for the note and I&#8217;d back the project but my feedback is that $150 is steep. You&#8217;re on a small scale, I get it but maybe Kickstarter backers get it for $99 and MSRP is $150 or something like that. Just some feedback, I don&#8217;t know the time and money you&#8217;ve put into it so far.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in this product, click through and back the creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I received an email from a reader of this blog.
