Looks like they are going for cheaper than Spike but not a complete system so its not quite apples to oranges. Just controller + kettles.

Looks like this finally dropped. https://www.ssbrewtech.com/pages/electric-brewing

Like "We will release the source for the firmware". And my favorite "Expect to ship in July". The revelation that the zx entaglement was a loan and not a pure equity investment is significant. Zx usually has no problems outright buying much bigger companies to suit its bizzare quest for...

It's their sandbox. His posts were pretty innocent though. Not something I'd blow up over. Even if he called Kevin a doody head in email. You should see the things I've had customers send/say. I always diffuse it, move on and in the end respond with a smile. Even when Im being abused by an idiot...

^ BTW asking questions like that will get you banned by Pico.

Yeah. Or just have an option - ignore connectivity failures. Because ultimately what does it matter if I miss 10 seconds of temp data? Have never gotten a good answer from pico as to why they went down that path with the design or not implemented the offline brewing feature which has been asked...

This is all that is needed in memory on the device to brew a recipe. Returns from SyncUser exampe: #Two row hefe/94E907436B98396BC1BF1730D0769543/Heat to Temp,102,0,0,0/Dough In,102,20,1,8/Heat to Mash,152,0,0,0/Mash 1,152,30,1,0/Mash 2,154,60,1,8/Heat to MO,175,0,0,0/Mash Out,175,10,1,6/Heat...

Does the Z force us into online only via ssl? In effect causing us to not really own these units and instead we are brewing as a service?

Qob why have we never seen an offline mode for the Zymatic and will that be in consideration for the Z? There is absolutely no good reason to have a brew day @%@$ itself because of a lack of internet access as can be the case in garages where these inevitably end up after an overflow. The entire...

You aint kidding. I have a brewtronix hosehead sitting here now and the bulk of the herms sutff coming from stout. Total outlay not including kettle and hlt elements $2K. Already have the stainless table, pumps. Glad I spent more time going this route. The brau system looked interesting but the...

You get into bed with Zx you are gonna get the herp.

In their earlier emails there was mention of doing away with the glycol in the hex loop. Wondering what the impact that would have on folks who brew in garages where it can get cold in the winter. I get the bulk of my error 1s during the winter.

Setting a date without clear ability to hit it is the kiss of death for credibility. Original "give us your cash" campaign said July. But they didn't say what year.

Daddy inbevbucks and picopacks are not going to save them.

Can you post your email conv at the facebook group? I want to see some of the fan boys cry and crap their drawers in rage that this wont be ready by XMas.

Bhahahhah January! Optimistic. Glad I cancelled my pre-order. So that puts them at early April best "non scientific guess removed from my arse prediction".

Yeah. ZX-Ventures (inbev). They own em. Along with northern brewer and midwest. This isnt new or anything. The tinfoil nutters such as myself assume this is to disrupt the homebrew market. A term they use a lot. Or otherwise to ensure you have to go through their paywall somehow.

But come on. At least on an order link check for user credentials? That's just lame. I can't get to my brewhouse without logging in. Why order status? Its all good. All of our recipe usage goes straight to inbev anyway.

Talking about the Zymatic. The Z doesn't actually exist yet.

This is the kind of garbage programming that has gone into their API and probably the firmware btw. To be able to link directly to someone's order like that. That is pants crapping bad. I'm guessing the rest of their ecommerce system is like that too.
