Ah yeah,

the pump and the chiller wouldn't be of the same quality, but its a cheaper alternative and looks like a good enough system and allows for a 7.5 kg grain bill.

Its nice and shiny.

There's another rip off made by that german HB company brewferm or something like that, the homebrew shops here have a lot of their stuff.

Yeah, its  739 euo

And there's no pics of the finished article so its still on the boat or not even made yet in Shenzen...

There are few videos on the site mentioned in the first post if you'd like to have a look. Love the guys accent....

We won't get exited, its just an alternative, not saying its better than a grainfather or a braumeister but could be a good alternative to brewers with more limited funds.

I just realised this is remarkably similar to the Bulldog brewer, even the control panels are almost identical. Same manufacturer?
