Ibs Brewing Systems

[hughyg]

I tried using the seach function but couldnt find much info on the IBS brewmaster systems. Does anyone have one of these? I saw a microbrewery that uses a brewmaster 1000 2E and it got thinking..... How much would it cost to set a brewery up with this type of system? And how much can one produce?
Cheers

Would look great in the garage but a bit too hard for me to hoist the bag

I swear that's what Eagle Heights brewery uses..........Looks almost identical.

I can remember standing there lusting over it while looking at my first born and wondering what her market value was

There's one of those at the Rydges Hotel brewery in Campbelltown. Looks very nice, shame about the beers that come out of it.

That one at Rydges is a 500L system. Cost about $120k installed. System is imported by IBS from China
The head brewer there is still learning. Top bloke though

Eagle Heights is 500E model

 

[Howlingdog]

Sorry 500-2E

How would you remove the spent grain from the mash tun with one of those?

With a shovel through the manhole at the base in the rear. I have video of Lonti shovelling last year.

Aaah, still very impressive to look at and the cost is a drop in the bucket when you look at what they spent on the Hotel and convention centre.

Who is the brewer there now?

The brewer is Alan, he's the cellarman for the Catho. He was thrown into the job as brewer, no previous experience.

No. I'm only 50 litre manual 3v. When BABB were there last year the owner of Eagle heights said by the time they pulled the first beer it has cost close to $500.000 installed.

$500K included all the licencing and ATO rips. I think the system and brewery bits like clear tanks and associated cold rooms was around the $150-180K mark.

I think Ross has a better idea of the actual cost and break up?

Chap Chap

So is that 500K plus 180K??? Like a 700K!!! Damn I dont have that kinda money! Was thinking I might see change from 200K. As in enough to put in a "brewery door" and a sweet ass coffee machine.

The beer is getting better all the time. The main problem is there's not a huge turnover, so Al doesn't get to brew often enough to get his methods consistant.

He has a real enthusiasm though, and he has been getting some good advice lately (not just from me :lol: ). Go on Friday arvo, the beers are half price.
