Mike: I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge that you are sharing with the group. We should all unite to have the Picobrew investors turn over the servers and make available parts to you so you can get compensated.

I like the idea. I will try the step heating.

I know that everyone including PicoBrew recommends to put a spoon or keg lid rings between the large filter mesh and the plastic step filter lid. This is what I did (using the same fix implemented for the Braumeister malt tube top screen: Used McMaster-Carr high-temperature food grade silicone...

This looks interesting. Could you please post the printout of the advanced editor with your additional entries?

Put it this way..... after the experience I had with Brewie, Pico support is wonderful in comparison. I agree with you about the concern of not being able to fix it by ourselves. Frankly, I do not understand why they have not changed the material used for the step filter. My guess is that it...

My personal experience with Picobrew customer service, both for my Pico Pro and the Zymatic, is completely the opposite. In fact the fast response by Doug, Kevin, Joshua, Aldan, and Ryan (these are the customer service people I have dealt with) has been nothing short of outstanding. I have...

I need to add my five cents. I own a Braumeister BM20 Plus and love the machine and the support. It has never failed me. I also had two different Brewie and both failed, and returned them. I purchased a Pico Pro and a Zymatic. Did my first Zymatic brew on Sunday and it was successful...

Probably would not trade the Braumeister. Reason being is that the Braumeister is not dependent on the internet, but is remotely controlled if needed via WiFi, it is automatic and capable of programing 10 separate steps for mashing, mashing temps and time, boiling times and temp, multiple hops...

Lbarouf, I agree with you. For my needs, I would never consider extract brewing. I have been doing all-grain for many years. I own a Braumeister BM20 Plus, which is a professional grade unit from Germany and love it for my 5 gallon batches and its programability and ease of manually...

I just returned the Brewie (my second one in less than a month) and ordered a Zymatic, if nothing else, for the high level of support that PicoBrew provides. I learned that a product is as good as its support. I am concerned about the step filter cracks, but at least I know I can get it...

The 3.0 update seems to have taken care of many issues, such as sparging and reaching rolling boil temperature. I installed the update and did a test brew. looking good.

I just finished my first Bewie brew. I have to say that it was a fantastic experience. Iwas concerned because of all negative reviews, but at the end of the day I could not ask for a better experience. The machine performed as advertised from beginning to the end. Went through all the steps...

I hear you. This unit seems to be working perfectly. I like the Brewie. I have a 60-day return window and MoreBeer told me that if I had more problems, I could return it or exchange for the Plus. The big issue is that nobody knows when the Plus will start shipping or if it will be reasonably...

I just received my replacement B20 from MoreBeer. I purchased the original a week ago and had problems with the power-on. MoreBeer replaced it right away shipping a new one within 48 hours. I did a Safety Clean, Calibration, Unclogging and Test brew. I used my Braumeister dome to help...
