These guys had a launch party this past weekend, which I happened to attend. (I used to work in wine, so I try to keep in the loop when new stuff is coming out.)

I was surprised at how polished these kits were, with complete and thorough documentation, exactly the equipment one needs, etc. I signed up.

There are a lot of folks doing subscription $products, which is theoretically great (as a business you get paid every month) though I wonder what the attrition rate will be given how (relatively) labor-intensive this is. (I once signed up for Blue Apron, of those "kitchen in a box" subscriptions. But even that was a bit advanced and cumbersome for my awful knife skills, so I cancelled after the first month.)

Best of luck to you all!

That's the challenge of any subscription service, I think. Especially with perishable goods product loss is a real problem. But hey--what's the point of doing something easy? :).
