Like was said above 2nd hand is also an option, it seems there is a reasonable turn over of 2nd hand stuff in the UK

This is based on some financial numbers. I know that there are successful operations smaller than this,but if they were asked the question,you might hear "well I would,nt start from here".

I like the look of that system. Big enough to be a consideration for small scale brewing/experimenting.Possibly could brew speciality beers for festivals etc as well and small enough that if its doesnt work out you can use it for your own personal needs <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" />

From what I've seen of his systems I dont see why you couldnt with a bit of imagination.
Get in touch with Noby on here, he's brewing with that system, I'm sure he'll have more info about it than everyone else combined.
