    Zymatic Recipe Formulation - Water Amount Question

    Towards the end of my love hate Zymatic relationship I mostly just used BrewSmith and one or two canned advanced recipes. One of the things that really pissed me off were the simple/stupid recipe editor bugs that they never bothered to fix. Used a scale for the keg/water.

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Only review i've seen is the guy who is an employee oogling over auto update/phone home on the post like a Microsoft exec getting a hardon seeing win10 telemetry. Post a link to a real joe brewer start to finish review of a brew day. Edit - I found 1 review from a non pico employee here.

    Picobrew Z

    This. Every single Zymatic out there is there an error #1 nightmare or recently shipped back ticking time bomb. Let's see a few reviews+ abuse (real world use) did it overflow after the 3rd or 4th brew type stuff? The fan boys will eat a crap sandwich no matter what. Let's see some actual brew +...

    Please help. Wife made me do PowerPoint for electric brewery budget approval

    Post all of the bs from the picobrew threads and then say : " You don't want me to go through that do you? Or "You want a man and not a blue hair girl with a man bun right?"

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Still waiting on a review from someone brewing w the Z1. I'm sure they exist outside of the guy who is clearly a picoemployee (Dug) pretending to be one of us. I just can't justify the price for the bigger Z monstrosities. With the brewie+ not being a giant pile of Sh!t picobrew has killed...

    Grounded Brewing Technologies 30A BIAB panel?

    I ordered the 30amp 2 element mid November. Fedex will be delivering Thursday. They got buried in orders over xmas. But have been great/responsive keeping me up to date. Just email them and im sure they will give you a window.

    Best Economical Element and Controller

    Not an electrician but I think the reason for that is its easier to expand later off the panel than having to do another run to the breaker. More upfront cost/lower down the road if adding more stuff. But definately do GFCI and make sure its in writing if having an electrician install. I didnt...

    Brewie+ vs Picobrew Z

    If the Brewie can up their game on reliability and service game over Picobrew then pico is finished. Price point on the Z is fail compared to what brewie+ advertises. I won't touch either w a ten foot pole though. Been burned once w the Zymatic.

    Automating circulation of hot/cold water for conical?

    A lot more to it than just recirculating at the temp of your water supply. You need insulation too. At best you will probably be able to get a little lower than room temp/ambient. Look for a DIY glycol chiller and heating pad + temp controller to switch on the pump vs pad.

    I think all of the systems have had wiring failures. From Zymatic to grainfather. Even Spike's panels right out of the box. Probably they one area where they all seem to fail now and then.

    Control Panel Advice Needed

    I almost went build your own but ended up ordering a grounded brewing tech panel for less than most of the kits cost. Looks like a crap ton of people had the same idea and they got crushed in holiday orders but I've only heard good things and they have been good about responding to my nagging of...

    Brewie+ vs Picobrew Z

    What kind of issues are they having? Don't have a dog in the fight as I sold my Zymatic and got a refund on the Z2 vaporware. Just here for the schadenfreude now. Question on the brewie - does it still require a waterline or can you fill it without involving a plumber?

    Picobrew Z

    I'll wager money they don't even know how its supposed to work yet given the struggle/CF to get the single headed units out.

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    I think the error #1 is a function of just how the Zymatic works and every user is going to get them no matter what if you keep it/brew long enough. What did they fix when you sent your's back? Or did they just bleed a bubble out of the loop/top it off?

    The High Gravity Electric Brewery Thread

    Literally timed my 3 vessle build to deer season. Controller should be shipping sometime in the next week from grounded brewing tech. Just took down the last of my hang on stands today.

    Spike Complete System

    What I love about spike. Besides every piece of their equipment ive owned so far -they will jump into the conversation and clear things up. Didn't even know there was a separate company and not - the electric brewery/kal making these. Would have looked at them before grounded but my grounded...
