    Talk about great timing...I ordered the Pico C last night, because it said the deal ended on the 12th, and then today they are running a flash sale for $199...I called and emailed them, hopefully they let me get the $199 price.

    I am looking to buy a Pico system, and I am going back and forth between the Pico C and Pico Pro. The C is on sale for $250 right now, and it looks like I can add the Pro Upgrade kit for $150. Is that a good idea, or should I go for the Pro?

    Building a New Brewing Room

    Where to start....We recently sold our house, and the buyer really liked the brewing system I had built, and so it ended up with the new homeowner. I had a two element, 30 amp PID RIMs system, and it worked really well, but I was already looking to upgrade, and go a little bigger. Now starts the...

    I'm not brewing another batch

    I used to wear the nonslips that I'd wear in the restaurant, and my knees and back would kill for 3 days after brewing. I bought these at the beginning of the year...

    Draft Tower Build: beer line insulation/theories?

    It's a 1/2" flex line. Gives a good flow into the tower, and allows for circulation. I have a standard dimension beer tower with two taps on it.

    Draft Tower Build: beer line insulation/theories?

    I've got a fan with a flex tube running up the tower. Works great. We keep the kegerator outside on our covered patio during the summer, and don't have any issues with foam

    How long to smoke small Brisket..taking forever

    Most of my briskets take 10-12 hours. I cook them at 235, spritz them with a beer, chicken stock and hot sauce blend, until it gets between 168-172. Then I wrap it in butcher paper, and bump the heat to 255-265 to finish it. I pull it at 195-198 and wrap it in a towel and let it rest for at...

    Low ABV...Should I Pitch More Yeast?

    It's going to be a low abv beer, and 1.010 sounds about right for final gravity. You might get down to 1.008 which would be 75% attenuation. I wouldn't worry to much about final gravity. If it tastes good, then that is all that matters.

    Spunding valve/pressure transfer lit for Sankey keg

    I was too, but my guess is it is something similar to what Jaybird does with his sanke kit. I have one of his, and I attached a tee off of it and added a prv. I will take a picture this weekend.

    RTD PT100 3 Wire - How to hook it up

    I would say make sure they are wired to the same posts that you will be connecting to on your control panel. If I remember correctly, the two blue didn't matter, but the red needs to be connected to the same red wire in the control panel.
