Turn Key Ag Rigs

[Goose]

BM has cons around available ampage as well re 50l or batch size/ABV for 20l.

They're all great systems I'm sure.

tks hsb I'll add in as I get them..

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...


Sabco

Pros
Touch Screen Colour graphical microprocessor control
Data recording downloadable to PC
Graduated sightglasses on HLT and boiler for accurate volume measurements
Can begin a second batch while previous is boiling
Higher grain capacity (for bigger beers)
CIP by recirculation

Cons
No electric option
Whirlpooling difficult
Cost


Braumeister


Pros
Small footprint
Single heating element
Single vessel

Cons
Lifting out grain a challenge on 50l + systems
No gas option
Separate hot water source required for rinsing
Cleaning of the elements
Cleaning of the pump
Available ampage for 50l

Need to add

Braumeister
- Ability to upgrade to a 3V easily. (everyone seems to have kettle/urn and a sparge bucket handy for them)
