Hi, I’m looking to purchase a 20bbl brewhouse and am wondering if anyone has dealt with Shandong Yuesheng Beer Equipment Co., Ltd and if you have any opinions or advice?
They have what appears to be a nice system at a good value.
The system I’m inquiring about has a 2000L effective volume/2680L total volume. Is this a standard size for a 20bbl system (17bbl effective/22.9bbl total)?

Questions I have include:
1. Are the tanks made out of virgin stainless or economy/recycled stainless? What does ‘sanitary’ stainless mean?
2. Are the welds ‘sanitary’, polished welds, especially on fermenters and bright tanks?
3. I’m expecting the insides of the fermenters and bright tanks to be smooth, how does one quantify this?
4. Do fermenters and bright tanks have shadowless manways?
5. Are the electronics UL listed?
6. What is the throughput of the grain mill?
7. Is the grain mill a dustless setup?
Thanks in advance for any opinions/advice you have!
