While helping out the new owner of my old Zymatic with an error #1 due to brewing in a cold garage. The "resume from last brew" under the help feature appears to not throw error #1 despite the temperature issues/cold start. So if your brew $hits the bed - resume from Help rather than restart...

Picobrew doesn't have a very good reputation when it comes to listening to customer needs, especially when it comes to making things more flexible or living up to promises. They have inbev/zx-venture bucks to payback. Reusing picopacks doesn't help that. They will however take your money for a...

July 2019!

So glad I got out. When the Zymatic worked it was great but I don't see these guys lasting much longer if this is how they execute the development and release of what is supposed to be their flagship product. Whomever floated the July release date should probably be fired.

Just a comparison of how utterly out of whack the pricing is on the larger z’s. Can go full retard cheaper than the preorder on the bigger z. Either way you are saving cash and getting a better system.

For $2800 you can get yourself the full blown spike+ 20 gallon As a custome kettle order (and triclamps/valves plumbing in that price) minus the controller and pumps. Use hose head or grounded brewing’s controller for $500-$1000 and throw in 2 $100 pumps for a full blown eherms. That’s more...

Haven't messed with decompilers in about a decade. Shouldn't be impossible. I doubt they did code obfuscation. Maybe after deer season I'll give it a shot as a middle finger salute and let their legal team chase me. Just wont be able to test the code other than making sure it builds. Open source...

Corporate response is we might hurt ourselves and create zymatic bombs. Entire new generation of isis fighters will be programming them as ieds They apparently are not familiar with concepts like home garage based auto repair, ammunition reloading. All very common things that the mechanically...

I was in on the kickstarter and early on they hyped the crap out of opening the platform and source. Don't care anymore since I am now recently Zymaticless but it is a source of general mistrust and I enjoy making them dance when I bring it up. Trust me they are tired of it. I'm guessing they...

I actually did a lot of sous cooking in it but that was just a plus and I would definitely have given that feature up for more reliability , bug fixes and simple crap like offline. $2K is a lot of damn money for a device like this. My biggest gripe is that for the money its been a very subpar...

Good for them if they are finally delivering.

Customers who lent $2-$4k give a shizzle Doug. This attitude btw is why im not a customer.

I waffled between that and an eherms for a while once I realized the Zymatic was a lost cause and Z was vapor. I really like the controller but the one I would be interested in requires 50 amp and I'm on a 30a. It looks a little more robust than the hosehead and I like the concept of it throwing...

I've heard only good things about the Bruameisters. Looks like a solid piece of kit. And no double step filters to deal with.

I try. This S post was actually fueled by my last Zymatic batch.

Can't wait to see the latest email with a bio on some millennial who's first job outside of university barista was PicoBrew telling us how rad it will be to send Inbev cash for the hipster brewing machine that will be out in July year to be undetermined.

Boss has a friend who had a pico-c and was getting deeper into it while I need to free up space for an e-herms build. Out the door with a few extra kegs and 3 step filters for $700. $100 more than pico would have given me to keep the Ponzi going.

That is what I will miss the most with the Zymatic. I'd throw venison backstrap cutlets vacum packed in seasoning in it before I left for work and come home to some really good S.

Lolz. Yeah the U announcement was what made me decide that I might be better off canceling the Z2 order. That was a gigantic WTF. Can't even complain about the Zymatic now. I sold mine a few weeks back. On to bigger batches.

No mention of herms coil in the HLT looks like its single infusion mash with rims in the near future? Still the controller looks interesting. Price is cheaper than building a Kal clone or even their kit.
