Frequently Asked Questions
I LIVE OUTSIDE THE USA.. DO YOU SHIP OVERSEAS ?
Brew-Magic Systems are found all over 15 countries around the world . We can prepare your
shipment in a safe overseas crate for shipment anywhere. Such a crate will weigh approx. 600 lbs.
depending on your total order. You'll need to contact a local 'agent' or 'freight-forwarder' who will
help you with customs clearance in your country. Sabco can deliver the unit to your door and
provide you with the details and freight costs for importation. Sabco can also simply forward the
unit to your preferred port of export here in the USA and you can have your agent handle the rest.
Brew-Magic requires 120 volt, 60 cycle. We offer step-down transformers for the simple
conversion to meet your local electric standards. Shipping out of the USA is easy.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN THE BREW-MAGIC ?
The new Brew-Magic Showcase V120, uses commercially preferred Tri-Clamp disconnects at all
kettle connections. To remove the Mash Kettle, simply disconnect the Mash Kettle and slide the unit
off the top deck and discard the grain. Rinse out the remaining residue with a hose. Inside the
Mash and Boil kettle you'll find a Tri-Clamp siphon and a false bottom. Both are removed easily for
cleaning and inspection. Scrub out the kettles using a mild detergent or caustic. ( Many brewer
cleansers are available ). Reconnect the kettles and using the system pump, recirculate a dilute
caustic rinse solution through the brewery from kettle to kettle. This cleans out the entire plumbing
system. Rinse and finish, if you desire, with a 'no-suds' sanitizer. Periodically remove and inspect
the heating element and perform any necessary minor cleanup. Keep in mind that cleaning is the
only variable left in this commercial quality, repeatable brewery. Write your procedure down and be
sure to do it the same way every time.
HOW DOES BREW-MAGIC COMPARE AGAINST OTHER SYSTEMS ?
The Brew-Magic design is quite special. Repeatable small batch brewing is difficult because
damages to the wort and grain happen easily when temperature controls, wort handling and
brewer enthusiasm can produce subtle variables with each brewing session. Professional
tolerances for such alterations to a known recipe are near zero...particularly when recipe
development is underway. The Brew-Magic was designed to eliminate all such variables.
The concept of RIMS was proven with this system. The original goal was to create a pilot brewery
for professional brewers. Repeatability demanded a 'hands-off' static filter, grain bed with perfect
temperature control. Wort is placed in motion, not grain. Your perfectly milled husk is left
undisturbed and undamaged by stirring. The wort is carefully handled, never caramelized. The
mash kettle demonstrates zero stratification of heat. Amazing repeatability was finally achieved
after 5 years of prototyping. The flow rate was calculated over heating elements. The shape of the
convex kettle bottoms was deliberately chosen. Even the pump impeller is specific.
The Brew-Magic is not a simple gravity tree that hoists hot water over the user's head. Nor is it a
simple, shiny 'Polar' pot brewery that's designed more to look impressive than be impressive.
Brew-Magic is heavy-duty, mobile and smart. Easy to clean with kettles that can be easily
dismounted and carried to your clean-up station. Repeatability is everything when it comes to
competitive professional quality brewing. Go with a brewery that was designed by professional
brewers and brewing scientists, not by amateurs or hobby enthusiasts. How does Brew-Magic
compare with other systems. There really is little comparison. It's simply in a class by itself.
WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE CARAMELIZATION BY THE HEAT ELEMENT ?
Caramelization, hot side aeration, wort handling, temp control, sparge agitation, husk degradation
by stirring, etc. etc. ...were the very first issues on the minds of the designers who wished to create
a 'variable-free' pilot system for recipe development many years ago. Caramelization is a function
of flow ratios across any heat source. ( not just a heating element ).. In our case the heat exchanger
chamber is completely flooded and in constant motion across a low wattage element. This element
is deliberately slow because it's used only for fine tuning the desired "set-point" or requested
temperature of the wort. Combined with the onboard thermal controller, the accuracy is amazing
without harming the wort in any way. You can caramelize wort by using a simple burner. Wort
touching a hot surface is all you need..... All brewing systems have heat sources. The Brew-Magic
utilizes the 'Magic' of recirculation ( RIMS ) to keep the wort in motion over these surfaces and out
of harms way.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO BUILD MY BREW-MAGIC ?
The Brew-Magic System is custom made to your order but Sabco typically has several in
mid-construction at all times to meet expected demands. Expect 4-6 weeks to produce one for
you, however occasionally this waiting time can be reduced when Sabco is batch producing several
of a particular model for inventory. If you have a deadline to meet, call us... we'll do the best we can
to meet it.
