Firstly, let me say that this community of beer lover, brewers, and dreamers has helped me learn so much on my journey to (hopefully) brewery ownership. I hope that I can share and help others as much.
Now I have a question that should generate some conversation and criticism. I'll brace myself for the barrage of hate mail.
Has anyone had some recent, practical, experience buying full brew-houses, fermenters, and/or bottle fillers from China. I have solicited some very competitive bids on all this equipment through Alibaba. Shipped to Canada.
For someone who has to risk all his savings and still have to convince investors and banks to lend him more, the pricing is very compelling. I've heard many of the obvious warnings that the quality is poor. But come on really?
So again I ask, does someone have recent and practical experience with purchases of brew-houses, fermenters, brites, and filler+crowners.
What was you experience? Any suppliers you recommend? Any suppliers to avoid?
Cheers and thanks,
Norfolk_Guy
