That plate chiller looks pretty sweet. Anyone have a price on it yet? I'm sure I can't afford it but one can always dream...

Sabco offers a very similiar plate chiller now which I use at the brewpub... its about $900 and I expect the ss version to be at least this much.

While this thread is bumped from recent comments: has anyone heard any updates on the SVBS system? Last I heard, they were targeting late spring to "hit the summer crowd."

Edit: Called the SVBS the eBIAB system. Fixed for clarity.

Has Ss released some new info on the system? Or what is your comment in reference to? On their website, I still only see the same 3 pictures that have probably been up there for close to a year now and don’t really show much as far as ports and features go.

Doesnt seem like a great strategy to me... The beauty of an electric system is you can use it indoors in the winter months when you've little else to do.. Thats when I did most of my homebrewing myself.

I emailed them in April and they said "hopefully by July 4th". Clearly that date has come and gone. I'm still not ready yet as I need to get the garage in my new house squared away. That'll clear up my 11' x 11' brewing area. Then I need to get 240 installed (already a panel there with multiple open spots) and get my sink plumbed.

That being said, I expect to be ready to switch to electric by Christmas at the latest.

I'm already looking at other options.
