Fair Brewing Setups?
hello all,
How do you guys feel about brewers entering competitions with beer brewed with "automatic" brewing systems like Sabco's Brew-Magic
Do you guys feel it a fair competition against those brewers brewing on setups they've crafted themselves that aren't computer controlled?
I know I would love a $3000 brewing system that can accurately repeat a batch every time without my intervention, but is that really brewing?
Thanks in advance
hello jamal,
For me, those systems take away a little of the fun of homebrewing, which is having people ask "What the hell are you doing?" as they stroll by my backyard and see all the buckets, hoses, kettles etc all over the place. My "system" is pretty bodged together, but it makes great beer. I am sure a system like those you show make great beer to, and probably are less hassle than my little 23L system. I am still relatively young and new to the hobby, so as I grow older and more fed up with the hassles of my system, and as I earn more $ (hopefully), I may move towards a fancy three tier system with more capacity. But I think it all comes down to this: Does the $3000 super cool system make better beer than the plastic mash tun on my patio? I don't know. So far, I have received great feedback from family and peers about what comes out of my system. For me, that is good enough.
All the best
