Curious if anyone has brewed with some grain that is 5 or more years old? Currently getting back into brewing after a 3-4 year break. Grain smells great still and all of it is uncrushed. I also have a few lbs of hops that have been in the freezer. All are sealed in the factory 1-4 oz...

The only time mine clogged was when i ground my grains extremely fine, second brew I had done that. I have now done 13 brews total with no problems since.

You can also have it set to click to start the cooling process, so it can essentially pause at the end of the brewing cycle and press the button once you want the device to recirculate.

Keg cozy perk is being abandoned I see, frustrating to go from a cozy they value at $50 on their website(that we all know is too much) to a $10-15 a hat. I emailed asking for a standard keg cozy, could care less about special edition aspects as I want another cozy as promised!

Is the keg adapter simple a passthrough for the lines? If so wouldn't this accomplish the same thing for those that don't have the adapter https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/ball_lock_jumperpost.htm

I used these from Bobbie with a 1/2" female to female connector. I likely could have made it cleaner but it does the job. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/npt12tokegpostliquid.htm https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/npt12tokegpostgas.htm

I have been using my older keg cowboy (dudas makes the model now) 40 plate that has been fantastic. Cools quickly and I bought some adapters that essentially convert the in and out of the plate chiller to the keg posts to use with the regular z hoses.

I bought a picobrew Z2 for this very reason. Busy with work, kids, and my other hobbies so I needed to be able to make batches quicker when I want to, maybe not necessarily quicker from a time per brew standpoint but my hands on time is probably a tenth of the time I spent on my electric RIMS...

They always referred to the ship date as a ship week, so hopefully it ships by the end if the week have tried samples from 3 beers I have brewed and happy with the results from my z2

3565.5+3.5 gallons centennial blonde, 3 gallons rolling creek mosiac IPA, and 3.5 gallons crop chopper 3575.5

Running batch #3 through the Z tonight. I still have only registered one of the 2 units. Had a recipe all built up but could only find 1 packet of lager yeast so I cut the batch back from 4.5 gallons (had planned to add water after the boil) to 3.25 gallons. When I created the new profile I...

Most pear varieties also require a pollinator, so another benefit of multiple varieties. My great-grandfather had grafted pears onto his apple trees, granted the grafts didn't last many decades like the parent tree.

I have been very impressed with my z units. I have only ran 2 batches but still surprised how easy it has been. Like the feature of throwing things in the dishwasher for quick clean up as well. Now I need to craft a new lid for my brewjacket to ferment in the kegs, thank God for greenlee...

I haven't been able to progress on the beta recipe editor so I have used the regular. Brewed my first batch today, can't believe how easy it was and liked being able to monitor the progress. Now a matter of running both units simultaneously in the z2 (z1+z1) configuration. Still hoping the...

I was told from emails I was #2 in queue. I also received an email with shipping notification.

Z2 delivered today. Packages are marked 1-3 for the 2 z1 units and a package 4 of a power adapter. Hope to get it out together later tonight.

It shipped last week Friday but weather delays the last 2 days from this wonderful MN snow storm, so UPS won't deliver until Monday

I was #2 in queue on the z2 with emails indicating shipment this week. UPS lists 7 packages total on the shipment! Delivery scheduled for Thursday

Well my z2 status is changed to "in shipping queue" so z2s must be shipping very soon.

The z2 hasn't even shipped yet so no reviews yet.
