Well, you would be more than welcome to see my BM in Columbus if you cannot find anything closer. If you have any particular questions or want to see any pics/vids of the system that are not on the SABCO site, just let me know.

Buffalo Trace, Bulleit Rye and Makers 46.

Yeah, it is mostly closed. I'm using a Chill Wizard into a 10 gal. conical. Everything on Sat. went well, except my Black IPA was lower in gravity then expected. I screwed-up the amount of water needed and dilluted it, but still tasted nice going into the fermenter. Definitly need a good...

Ok, made a hood out of 1 inch foam board and attached a 600 cfm fan to the side. It vents quite nicely and does not draw any air down the HVAC flues. Done several hours of testing and no carbon monoxide levels have been detected. Sink is hooked-up, and I added a table along with a wire...

Put me down for a 5 gal batch.

That looks pretty good. Any issues with condensation dripping down from the hood or building-up in the piping?

Yeah, that would be a bad day. The problem with venting a system like this is finding a hood big enough for a decent price. Almost all of the used hoods are Type I, that are used for grease. Which is perfectly fine to use brewing, it's just many of them have fire suppression systems...

Added a big-ass used commercial sink from Craig's list. Thing is almost nine feet long.

IndyKing, from the floor to the center of tri-clamp nipple is 23.5 inches. A little higher than the top of a 5 gal. glass carboy, if that helps.

Yeah, the BM comes with 2 SS hinged false bottoms, one for the mash tun and another for the BK. They are heavy gauge, like everything else on the rig. My last batch I brewed a double IPA with 10 oz. of fresh hops and it did a fine job of straining them. As for the SS frame, SABCO did offer...

As for the system itself, very impressed overall. I also pondered between the B3 and BM for some time. I went with the BM for RIMS, Tri-clamps and hard lines. But the big kicker was the fact I live two hours from Toledo and picked it up to avoid shipping. Morebeer wanted $800 for freight...

I have had my BM for 4 months now. Brewed 3 batches and no issues with burners being off-centered and causing hot handles. As for the self-regulating, it has been within a few tenths of a degree from target and only fluctuates up or down a tenth or so. Very accurate and reliable so far...

Absolutely Beach. Once I get the hood, fan and speed control installed, I will start experimenting with the air flow and see how how bad the vacuum is. Most likely, I will need a second inline fan to provide the make-up. So, my thinking right now is to fabricate a panel that will replace the...

Thanks for the info folks. SABCO's web page says the system is rated for indoor commercial use, but they recommend checking with you local fire codes. They do not recommend any specific vent setup or CFM's. I even spoke to Bob Sulier when I went to pick it up and asked him about it. He...

OK, this my first post to HBT. Been brewing for seven years now, mostly AG using coolers. We bought a larger house that has a full basement, so I now can dedicate some space for a brew room. As you can see, the cornerstone of the operation will be the Brew-Magic system which I purchased...
