In MD we never had the bubble to begin with due to our archaic/insane/corrupt dem party controlled beer laws. Local brewery near me Baltimore County Brewing Company is always packed and its off the path in an industrial park.

vs what? picobrew taking customer's money for over a year? There might be a dozen still functioning zymatics out there. They won't be working much longer now that they pretty much refuse to service them without being paid $$$. Their solution to a faulty glycol loop/hex and endless error1...

Are you running the pumps full bore at mash? Ive never had temp loss. Only diff between my setup and the spike system is the panel(grounded brew tech), pumps (brau supply) and the pump manifolds have some larger ball valves. Htl and mash temps are consistantly 8-9 degreesn when heating and 2.5...

Ill ping em to clarify but i dont think that tube makes sense except when sparging - when the grain bed is being drained as your are pushing water in slowly from the hlt so the tube sits on the bed which is going to have an obviously lower water level.

Never put the tube on except on sparge but I'm only on my 4th brew w the 20 gallon. Never had issues hitting my numbers on it.

Yeah its on page 5 of their process guide. After mash complete/sparging steps. "We recommend following our Product Guidewhich shows a short piece of silicone tubing on the end of the sparge arm." yeah - For sparging.

That is for sparging only and not for mashing. Check out their process guide and even the brew day video.

Def wish i went w 50 amp. Otherwise no regrets. I’d go w 20 gallon and customize boil kettle to support smaller batches (the need to move wirlpool port) so you can always go bigger or do insane malt loads in small batches.

Mine looks pretty centered (20 gallon) but I've been drinking and didn't take measurements.Circulate some water through it from the mashtun and it will let you know if its pushed in enough/have a seal. You do have to push it in a little bit but don't force it. If its lose you will get some...

Yes via ebay. They move quick. Price it at $600 and it will move.

Anyone ran wireshark on these to see if they moved the api to https? Old zymatic was http so you could at least spoof a back end for when they ran out of cash and inbev money.

Just order a kettle tapped for what you want and add something like the grounded brewing tech panel an a pump. These systems really are nothing more than custom kettles + slightly modified chuggers, the more beer chiller and the ebrew supply panels. It saves your some shopping at a slight...

AFTER removing the grain and wetvac for leftovers on top and under the false bottom works just fine for me. Only a few brews in on the 20gallon spike+ kettles but I've found cleaning to be pretty straight forward.

Brewing now on their 30 amp 2 element panel. Loving it so far.

Ive never had a zymatic step filter survive more than a dozen brews. That is with hand washing w warm water.

From what I have seen w the Brewie+ is just a better thought out / engineered machine than pico's. Its not perfect. Nothing is.But at least you can get it clean. No plastic mashtun.

Was usually 4-5 days between email ping. Try contacting them on facebook I guess? I hit them up there for some order changes.

Picked the panel up Sat morning from FedEx. Just finished auto tuning the pids. Works great, looks solid. The BIAB version looks awesome too. Worth the wait as this was cheaper than even some of the kits I was eying but still has the over engineered built like a brick $hit house design to it...
