Brew magic? Is it worth buying used?

[mav106]

I can buy one for around 1k.

Do you think it's worth it?

I don't have 1, but I've heard nothing but good about Sabco products. $1k for a $6k Sabco system? I'd spring for it.

Are you wanting to brew just for yourself and some friends or for the entire neighborhood and the adjoining neighborhoods?

It was a baller system 10-15 years ago but given all the alternatives out there, I actually wouldn't brew on it if someone gave it to me. I apologize to anyone that uses it and feels slighted, but keggles raised up to an uncomfortable working height isn't fun for me.

I ended up just buying a clawhammer system. They are kinda local so I figured I would give them some money.

Just me and my buddies, I also have a few weddings this year and I was going to give them a keg if I make something worth drinking.

The Brew Magic system that I imagined was a 30 gallon 3 vessel system. While you can brew less, it just seems like a lot to clean. As well takes up space when not in use.

I don't want to brew 30 gallons of beer and by chance not like what I brewed. Much happier brewing 3 gallon batches often and being able to dump what I don't like without a lot of wincing.
