Project Update: Shipping nearly complete & Aluminum Body upgrade opportunity

It's been a long journey, and we appreciate your patience along the way. What began in December is now nearly complete, thanks to your support. Our original goal was to deliver all SpectraTone Red mouthpieces by the first week in April. We've now delivered 96% of all orders from backers who completed their surveys. Eight people have not returned a survey, which means we will choose your body variation and set it aside for you, but we cannot ship without your address and rim selection.

That leaves another few backers waiting on rim sizes that are currently at plating. To our surprise, we had an unusually high number of orders for 660 and 614 diameter rims, which had been made in December, but not all were plated. Those should be back in our shop in approximately 10 days or less. If you are waiting on an order for a 614H rim and would like to switch to a different 614 variation to get quicker shipping, please contact us at 303.657.2747.

Save $250 on Titanium and $175 on Stainless Steel SpectraTone Red, Yellow, or Blue mouthpieces


I have two Titanium mouthpiece bodies remaining, which I will offer to our backers in the form of a complete SpectraTone Red, Yellow, or Blue mouthpiece for $350. If you want one in Stainless Steel, the price is $325. Email me by Wednesday (or order with link below) before they are gone forever. Oh yeah, did I mention all SS and Ti body styles will be retired once inventory is sold out. This is due to the complex production process that is too costly in smaller batches. I made approximately 15% more bodies in SS and Ti than were originally ordered through Backerkit. You can see remaining inventory here.

Laser Sintered ALUMINUM Body


And finally, I want to announce the debut of standalone LSLT (Laser Sintered Lattice Topology) Mouthpiece Bodies in ALUMINUM. I will be offering these to all SpectraTone/5MM mouthpiece owners for HALF PRICE next week. Again, once these are sold out, they will not be offered again. Your next opportunity for a LSLT solution will come with SpectraTone Green in Autumn. 

Thanks again for your amazing support, feedback, and musicianship!

Project Update: Timeline on remaining SpectraTone Red shipments

Jen has been working hard to enter every single order into our system for the past two weeks.
The process has been slower than expected as approximately 35% of our backers have requested some kind of change to their order after we closed the surveys, which has delayed all shipments. For this reason, we will no longer consider any future requests for order changes or additions. We really want to ship your mouthpieces!

Here's what you can expect for the remaining SpectraTone Red shipping schedule.

March 12th - remaining Brass variations with no upgrades
March 26th - all SS variations with no upgrades
April 2nd - all Ti variations with no upgrades
April 9th - all orders with upgrades

We will be offering one final option to purchase a new SpectraTone Red and related accessories at a very nice discount. We're doing this to give your friends, colleagues, and students a chance to get in on the fun.

Be sure to get on our mailing list at Harrelson for the one-day public release on April 1st!

Project Update: Breadberry Starter Shipping, Your Feedback, and More!

Hello, our Dough-tastic Data Devotees!

First, the shipping news...

Breadberry Starter Shipping


I've just returned from a quick jaunt to my local post office, dropping off dozens of Breadberry starters. For those of you who added the Breadberry add-on, your dehydrated starter is now en-route, secured in the hands of USPS.

For our international backers, we're now in "send and pray" mode for your Breadberry shipments. I've attached international stamps to your regular envelopes, hoping they make it through the labyrinth of global mail systems. Unfortunately it's all a bit of a dice roll, as customs rules differ from country to country. Who knew, for instance, that Spain has a no-go policy on playing cards? And shipping pulverized coca beans to Germany? Nein, danke! You can find more of these peculiar restrictions here: https://pe.usps.com/text/Imm/immctry.htm. Let me know if you find anything about dehydrated sourdough starters in there (e.g., I would argue it is definitely not a live animal).

Special thanks go to Noah, my trusty Breadwinner sidekick as he stuffed many of the envelopes you'll be receiving and has been a huge support during our journey.

If you're a non-US backer waiting for your actual Breadwinner, don't fret - it looks as if the majority of them have made it out of the country and many of them have already cleared customs in their destination country. 

How’s it going?

So, for those who have successfully sprung their units from their boxes and are feeding the data beast, how are things kneading out? Some of you have already recorded a dozen feedings, which is fantastic! We're seeing new devices rise online daily, but do feel free to drop me a line if you encounter any glitches or need assistance with your setup – [email protected].

Suggest Features?

To help me better organize and prioritize future development on Breadwinner, I’ve baked up a new feedback system over here:
Stumbled upon a bug? Post it here: 

This is my first time using Canny, but I'm hopeful it will aid in keeping things well-organized and allow you to stay updated when fresh features are baked and ready.

Until next time, keep those ovens warm and the feedback coming!

Best,

Fred

My starter, Breadberry, is a rye guy.



Once I discovered how it much Breadberry grew when being fed rye, I knew I couldn't go back. That said, I've tried mixing in spelt, regular whole wheat, and baker's flour. But I've always come back to rye. I'm also about 1:1 (i.e., 100% hydration) of flour to water, but have definitely varied that a lot. I notice that the stiffer my starter is, the more jagged it's graph is on my Breadwinner dashboard.

But that's just me, and everyone's starter is different. So what do you feed yours and why?

Soooo when can we expect the next update to be filled with fluff about how you are committed to getting us the product, and we will have it when the sun is at the highest point in the sky and blah blah blah? Meanwhile you launch a different brand and spam our phones with adds for that. Just stop being shady and if you are not going to make good on the pledges just tell us already. I am amazed that you all could work at such a place that deceived so many of us.

Hi! The new direction and company (Chamelo) are selling new sunglasses that incorporate everything we paid for into one pair without actually being the dusk sport. I don't know when we will see the final product. I may be three feet under by then, but it feels like it is going to be a long time coming. Please surprise me and tell me we will get our glasses before May. 2025!!!!
