I’m brewing today and have ran a pvc drain ran to my sump pit and placed a flexible mesh carbon filter over the opening. I tested on a water boil last night and everything worked. I’m going to try this and if I do have much smell coming off my sump is right under a window so I rigged my old...

Entered, thanks!

Thanks Still Brewn & Iron for posting all the info. Pulled the trigger and ordered the B+ and canceled my Z1 order. I have my Zymatic still and a 240v High Gravity eBIAB setup so I'll likely be selling my Zymatic once I get the B+ up and running. Couple simple questions. How is your beer...

Awesome! Thanks for the fan info. I'll probably just order to have just in case.

Thanks. And thanks for your help identifying a solution. I'm curious if Brewie's "fix" included upgraded fans...Do you happen to know what the size of fan in mm you were looking for as replacements of the factory installed fans? Perhaps something on Amazon or NewEgg or the like would have them?

Thanks for the link! I agree, mines working well now and I haven’t done a through assessment of accuracy of the temp profile and still need to validate against another thermometer.

My experience as well on my first brew....concentrated DMS spell. I’m using city water on 6gph nozzle @ 75psi. I was running the drain to a open bucket then dumping it into a sink (in basement).

Below is the message I received after asking if the overheating connection/wire issues have been resolved on units currently shipping. It sounds like this alone may not fully resolve the issue without ventilation? Maybe I missed it, but are there pictures of the fan and connections that...

I ordered some activated carbon air filters and plan to run a line to my sump pit and plug the hole with the filter and wrap some more of the filter media around the PVC pipe opening my condenser hose is going into on the other end to see what that does. If that doesn't work I still have my...

Yeah mine seems to only be 1 degree F off and that may just be the difference between the probe location and where I’m measuring so I’m not worried about it. However, I wasn’t sure if these may drift out of calibration over time like most measuring devices can. If would be good to be able to...

Do you know if you can calibrate the temp probe? I can seem to find my manual.

Yeah, I suspect odor is less of a concern for those brewing in their garages vs basements.

Awesome, PM sent. $1699 right now on Amazon.

Thanks for the quick feedback! I’m also in manufacturing and used to dealing with startups of custom equipment. I think that is why I am a little more patient than some with delays and early issues. It’s most comforting to see a strong community of users that are sharing best practices and...

I have a Zymatic now and have had good luck with it. I did have to send it in once for pump replacement but never spent a dime of my own money on parts or shipping. After buying the Zymatic (which got me into the hobby) I bought a 240v BIAB setup which I love. I have 3 young kids so when I...

Anyone know if Brewie is addressing any of the overheating/wiring issues on new units? I am considering canceling my Z preorder and going with a Brewie +

I’m going to get some aquarium filter socks and throw in some activated carbon in one to run my drain line through it. I’m not sure if there will be enough contact time to work but figure it will be a cheap experiment. I’m also looking at the hydroponic carbon air filters to hook my hood fan...

Looking for the same answer. I took my crappy hood down but still have it. I was thinking of having a combo of a small portable fan blowing out the window and having the drain trickle through a bag of activated carbon to see if that helps. Really interested in anyone's solution to the...

Where are you running your drain? It sounds like those running there drain line to a plumbed drain opening or outside their indoor area are not having odor issues? I’m interested if running to an open drain vs bucket eliminates the issue. I’m considering drilling a port on my stainless sink...
