I'm selling the remnants of my propane brewing setup. It has been great but I had to move to electric for space reasons. Condition is good -- everything works well, burner shows some minor visual only wear from heat and spillovers. Kettles are in excellent condition. HopBlocker never used. For...

Just got the rebate email. Pleasantly surprised you don't need to ship the entire thing back (you just send the control board). Still need to read more but... $600 check, $700 gift card or option to buy another Z1 for $499.

What do you mean about removing thing from the keg posts?

Pico has little evaporation which is typically something like 0.5gal/hr. I suspect this is accounting for the differences.

Yeah it seems like 60-65% is about right for Z. Make sure to set it to "high efficiency mash" (you'll see a dropdown in the recipe crafter).

I do exactly what swimIan suggested (because my fermentor height is similar -- use a blow off tube from my corny. The keg is a standard ball lock keg and the airlock is a standard 3 piece clear airlock e.g. like this...

The recipe crafter will tell you the limits, which I think are 4.25gal of water or ~9lbs of grain. Within these limits you can brew whatever you want. I typically brew a ~3-3.25 gallon batch.

The perks email said: We will send a summary email before shipping your perks, which will also include a tabulation of any referral bonuses for folks with purchases related to their referral code, and complete instructions on how to claim your Zymatic rebate. Hopefully this means we'll hear...

Me too. Just did my 3rd brew and I've just been doing a clean cycle after ever brew. Given how colored the water is when it comes out, I think it's a good idea to keep it running smoothly and doesn't take much more effort than a rinse IMO.

FS is a Blichmann Top tier stand with 3 burners with mash burner controlled by a Tower of Power (RIMS system with pump). It worked great for me and is in good cosmetic condition. Size is 72" tall x 48" wide x 48 " deep. Components: the Top Tier system (MSRP $530) Blichmann Tower of Power (with...

Can you say more (or link to details)? I also am hitting low but buy pre-crushed grain from MoreBeer.

I agree the hat is sort of lame but out of curiosity, what do you guys want to do with the second cozy? I had a Zymatic for years and never needed a second one or had any issues with it.

FYI it can be shipped dry (as flakes, read up in the thread) and will probably do fine via mail. I did a 1 week ferment (seemed close to done at 3 days @ 96 deg but I wanted to be safe), cold crash and force carb. I'm drinking it now just over a week later.

On May 15th when I last asked then, they said: "We're waiting on a couple items to arrive and then will be getting perks shipped out to those that have already received their Zs."

Did you even ship back your zymatic?
