I was talking to Ben about this and it really does sound like he has a great set up. Looking forward to getting a chance to head down. Barkar I'm based in Moycullen myself so I don't know if you'd be interested in car pooling for a trip down? I'm always driving anyways! Plus if it cool I wouldn't mind seeing what sort of set up you have yourself, I remember seeing it on here a few months back, the one with the deep fat fryer right? I'll PM you if that's agreeable with you?

Sounds good , had a look at the brew magic set up looks the dogs b'ks. Ben do you have a group of people who brew together etc. sounds a great idea, with a set up like that you could consider talking to some pubs and see about the legalities of a brew pub in the area <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Just a side note though anyone who has pumps out in a shed this weather should consider taking them inside somewhere warmer or dismantling the drive shaft . Went out to the shed to see all the liquid in the tubing and the pump frozen <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt="" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->
Hi Franj send on a pm good to hear a fellow brewer out in connemara <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

have a good group of willing volunteers who are beginning to get savvy
with recipies and hop adjustments, we brew for fun on quite a big scale
been messing with home made systems for ten years now, bit the bullet and invested in brew magic , it is a dream to use, and the chill plate exchanger is a fantastic bit of gear from boiling to 18 degrees as quick as you can pump.
when you get some freedom come visit.

what sort of money did it cost to buy and ship the brew magic to ireland

brewmagic costs 5000 us dollars I piggybacked on a container coming into Ireland so avoided all the unpleasant extras associated with buying from USA <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

I'm Crispy. I'm just about to start brewing.
I live in the west of Galway city. As a complete beginner I'm really excited to start brewing.
