Has anyone purchased equipment through brew-stuff.com? There equipment seams low priced and I'm always weary of low prices. There 7bbl system looks really nice, but what's the quality like?

Current Customer
I have been working with Don (brew-stuff) for 11+ weeks now trying to get the 5 bbl system. I have not received the system yet but can at least talk about my experiences thus far with brew-stuff. Feel free to call me and ask any questions. I will post a full review of shipment and also a review after I have used the system for a couple of months. My number is 830-660-8124

Got some of it
I received the shipment last week. Most of it was there, I am still missing the heat exchanger, hoses, fittings for the entire brewhouse (I had been told in December that the system came with triclamp fittings but it arrived with quick disconnects), temp probes, and valves. The two brite tanks arrived with no CIP arms, no port for carbonating, and the pressure gauges are only in Chinese (not that there is anyplace to instal them until the CIP arms arrive). Small amount of rust on the sight level tubes. I called the pump manufacturer and they said the pumps are not food grade and are only rated for 140 degrees. I know the pump issue has come up before with brew-stuff and I thought that it would have been resolved by now. Wether or not these pumps function at boiling temps is not the problem. Personally, I am not going to push my beer through a pump that could potentially contaminate the end product. Still waiting to hear back from Don about when the rest of it will come.
After posting this today my heat exchanger came. I will update this post as items arrive.Last edited by zbrian; 02-07-2013, 03:39 PM.

If anything changes or it turns out that I was mistaken on anything, I will be sure to make corrections. As always, anyone that has questions, feel free to call me anytime during the week.
