The plans include all the details, material cost, part number list, 3D CAD views, cut lists, control panel silk screen detail, and controller wiring detail.

Brutus 20 in the works!

runhard said:Yes beer4breakfast it was a BrewMagic Pro. The system seems very well thought out if you're into RIMS. The frame is as well built as anything I've seen and the powder coat is very nice. The stainless steel plumbing and tri-clamp connects are also very nice. My complaints have been with the gas regulator and the repair/replacement of the HLT. It is a breeze to use but I'm now more in line with the folks who prefer HERMS so that is where I'm at right now. I will likely set it up to have pilot lights on the burners and contact the builder of Brutus 10 for plans on how to design a controller. My biggest fault was that I rushed into the purchase because I was tired of my 3-tier gravity system and didn't seriously consider taking the time to design a RIMS or HERMS system and building it. Those of you who take the time to build your system from scratch should truly be proud of your accomplishment.

Thanks again.
Eastside Brewer said:Wow, very sad to hear. I have had the exact opposite experience with Sabco! I was a bucket brewer and decided to take the plunge. I researched both B3 and Sabco, and not only was Sabco miles ahead in service but also attitude. I also strongly believe that with Sabco's design you will not get scortching, BYO magazine did a nice article with both systems side-by-side and even they felt Sabco's design was excellent. Sorry you had a bad experience, but I think you would have to admit that the system is awesome, especially for those who are not do-it-yourselfers!
