    Help with picking out the best 1-bbl pilot system

    I'm looking to buy a 1-bbl pilot system and have just started researching a few different systems (morebeer.com, brew-magic.com). I was curious if anyone has any experiences they would like to share with the pilot systems they have used.

    Thank you very much for your help and cheers,

    I know there have been other people who have recommended Stout Kettles on here but I'll go ahead and recommend them again. I ordered some 1bbl equipment (kettles, fermenters, brite tanks) to use for a pilot system and John (owner) was great to work with. I thought his prices were very reasonable compared to the other suppliers but since everything was sanitary welds and tri-clover fittings, I thought his products stood out over the others. The only downside is the amount of time that it takes to get the equipment since most stuff is made-to-order. If you can afford to wait 3-4 months to get the equipment, then I'd say that they are defnitely worth looking at. If you want to see pictures of the kettles I bought or if you have any other questions, PM me and I'll try to get back to you. Good Luck!

    Our 3BBL system is just getting finished up from Psychobrew. We traveled out to Michigan to check out one that was already finished and we fell in LOVE!!! The craftsmanship is second to none and the price is great.

    We actually just received our kettles (which are Stout Kettles) for the system the other day and they are great kettles. Having tri-clamp fittings everywhere is great.

    I highly recommend Psychobrew's products... now we just need to find a home for Pipeworks so we can start brewing
