On a related note of making your own craft beer, we've got some fellas way down here who are doing with beer what's been done with coffee(equipment) for quite a few years:

Making an all in one high/end prestige home brewery.
I've seen one in the flesh, they have a new model coming out shortly which they plan on launching and selling in the US for the first time.
So far they've only sold about 100 of the first gen design.
I think some of the really dedicated home brewers/craft brewers will scoff at the unnecessary cost/expense since the experienced could achieve the same for far less money.
But for the average Joe Six Pack/Joe Bloggs it certainly has an appear(albeit at a high cost).
I've brewed my own beer when younger(poorly), and had my own proper beermeister. It's need to see something that combines the two.
Some guys in Singapore recently used it to win Gold at their craft beer making competition.
