Everybody asking Sir Ross about pro's and cons of BM vs Sabco.... judging from the passion that people have for their BM's and some responses I have read on related threads I can see why he chooses not to answer :unsure:.
I was also looking at a Braumeister , and while I don't own one and so do not have the benefit of experience thought I'd have a crack at the question myself. So I could be wrong, but feel free to correct add or comment...
The point, to help me decide which is best for purpose...
