It is all a matter of what you are looking for. I have not been on this thread for a few weeks but the configuration that I indicated that I was hoping for back then is exactly what I will be getting. My 40 years of hardware and software engineering thinks this is a great configuration with the...

Not sure what the advantage of that configuration is other than one display and one knob when you are brewing a split batch. Any other time I would rather have each Z directly controllable with their own knob and independently displaying their status on their own display. Each Z head unit has...

I have to say that what I see in Annie's picture is what I am hoping for, certainly not a sham. Below are quotes from the Z FAQ and are why I bought a Z2. My ideal Z2 is 2 relatively independent units, maybe with some syncing of the recipe between the two units when I occasionally brew 5gal...

That image is more what I thought it was going to be. What I understood was there is an additional header piece that was described as the power controller that takes the incoming power and breaks it down between the 2, 3 or 4 Z's. The Z1 just plugs directly into 20amp 120v power. Z2-4 start with...

After looking at the images again, I agree that it looks like the rotary control and display is not replicated as I had thought so it does look like it only has one brain. I still believe that it is most important that a Z1 works well because that is a refection on the quality of the mechanicals...

Is the Z2 anything more than two Z1s that optionally run in parallel? I am very interested in as much real world Z1 usage over the next few months while I wait for my Z2 that is currently scheduled for the last week of April. I look at the Z2 as simply being either twice as good or twice as bad...
