And I thought the brewmagic was expensive

I find it interesting they at least used mostly Blichmann equipment.

There is NO used brewing equipment market.
Just letting you know that.

That is  UNTRUE! There is a large, and growing, used brewery equipment market. Not to mention the used milk industry equipment that many people convert over for brewing.

Interesting first post.  Welcome to the forum NCH.

A comment on the original post.

I seems that many German/Austrian small brewery manufacturers are trying to beak into the growing US home brewing market. But what they are forgetting is that a German/Austrian brewpub may be willing to invest $45,000 but that a home brewer won’t pay that. Especially if comparable systems are available for less than $10,000.

Speidel, maker of the Braumeister, is facing a similar challenge on the lower end. They are asking $2000 for their 5 gal model (Speidel Braumeister 20L). For that price one can get a pretty decent 5 gal set-up with mashtun, pot, burner, pump and chiller.

I think at that price, whoever buys it is having someone else mill, mix etc.  :wink:
