Also curious about the cold brew process. I see early backers will get a freebie cold brew pico pak with the Z. May have to add a nitro tap.

How are you brewing your 6gal batches? Topping off at the end of the brew? I have done 4gal batches (without top off water at the end of the brew) I was also thinking about looking for a larger brew keg 7-10gal

I ordered the Z1 to replace my Zymatic. I like doing 5-10 on my eBIAB setup. Something about what appears to be doing everything twice (loading 2 step filters, hop cages, cleaning double the parts) isn’t worth the other convenience it offers over my eBIAB. However, I can eek out 3.5g of low...

Yeah, I actually liked the Brewie better than the Zymatic early on. I’m sure glad I didn’t go with it now, from all accounts I have seen, customer service is the polar opposite of what I have experienced with PicoBrew. I also saw they were releasing something new....the forums of brewie...

I bought the Jaded Cyclone CFC and have been very happy with it this far. I get 6 gallons down to 66f in around 11-13 min

I actually got into brewing with the PicoBrew Zymatic. I had never brewed a beer before getting my Zymatic a little over a year ago. I wouldn't say this is common way to enter the hobby but I had spent a few months researching different systems in this general market segment. I looked at the...

Well I find myself hopping at much higher quantities than what most of the public database recipes call for. I usually brew 3gal batches @ 1.50-1.60 or so and dry hop as well as keg hop to get the flavor and aroma I want in my PAs and IPAs. It’s quite possible I am just a hop head but I have...

My guess is for the Z1 they will have you send back then send you a Z2, then from there it’s just adding a module.

No, I think after using the zymatic I found I could make time to brew and wanted to be more involved in the process. I actually find cleanup is faster with this system than the zymatic and can take everything apart to clean. I worry the Z2 and higher will be a pain to clean 2-4 step filters...

Same here. I got into brewing with the Zymatic about a year ago. Not knowing about the Z, This Christmas I put together a eBIAB system I can new up to 10g with. While not all hands off it’s not much extra work and is actually faster due to being 240v. That said, I decided upgrade to the new...
