I am looking very seriously at this manufacturer for a 2 vessel, 30 bbl system. Does anyone know any breweries, in the USA, that use this manufacturers equipment?

If they can't provide you with any, that's a bad sign.

Contacting them this morning. I'll keep you posted.

Well, that takes care of that. No answer when tried with Skype and could not get phone number to work (could be my error), and their website does not seem to be working even though it has worked in the past. Bullet dodged. Sure was looking forward to a trip to China though.

Certainly if they can't provide references it's a bad sign. One hallmark I've noticed on Chinese equipment is the weld quality looks ok on the outside, but internally it's crap. Bad or nonexistent back-purging, no passivation, bad penetration etc.

Incredible value if you know how to deal with the flaws and drawbacks, but a massive nightmare if you want a plug and play system.

Be prepared to budget several trips to China if you buy something from there so you can inspect what you've paid for.

Otherwise don't think about it.
