Trisodium phosphate. Used for a lot of things. I've mostly used it for washing walls prior to painting.

The paks aren't plastic. They're made from sugar cane husk.

That is an awesome-looking conical.

The drop at the beginning of each step is normal, and you're going to get some temp differential based on where the sensors are vs. where you're measuring, but that's definitely not what the boil is supposed to graph like. It should look a lot more like the mash, with no dramatic spikes on...

Or if you're talking about the Pico Pro vs. the upcoming Pico C, it's mostly using standard ball lock kegs instead of a new proprietary keg. If you plan on using a kegerator at all or want to be able to upgrade pieces of your setup via Amazon or a LHBS, the Pro is your option.

First couple things I'd try (after sending an email to info@picobrew) would be to unscrew the black cap on the hose and check that the inline filter is clean (and then that it's fully seated and tightened), and disassemble the posts on the brewing keg to make sure there's not a partial...

Maybe? The temp decals can definitely get messed up, but it seems more likely that it's accurate. The fermentation process itself generates heat.

I'm only on batch 4, but no foam so far. The last 3.5 gallon (4.36 starting) I did definitely filled all the headspace with foam and I had to use a (sanitized) spoon to scoop a bunch out before I could pitch, but the trap has been clean every time. Distilled modified to Br'un profiles, 20-30m...

Still plenty of Zymatic users and posts in that group, you can just filter by the hashtag if you don't want to just scroll past.

From about a month ago: "We’re also working on predictively pre-building inventory for PicoPaks based on daily demand forecasts….our just-in-time manufacturing guarantees fresh product, but sometimes creates problems when daily demand spikes. We understand that this is particularly...

PicoPaks aren't going to be reusable for a couple of reasons. A) They're designed to be biodegradeable and if you do try a refill and the pak ruptures, the grain is going to clog a valve and you'll have wort all over your floor. But you can't really risk that anyway because B) the Paks have an...

Fair enough. ForcedCompetition, you seem to be unaware of what a KickstarterIndiegogo campaign is. There are no Pico C customers. There are people who have placed small capital investments in Picobrew for the development of the Pico C et al who chose a heavily discounted Pico C sometime in...

ForcedCompetition, you seem to be unaware of what a Kickstarter is. There are no Pico C customers. There are people who have placed small capital investments in Picobrew for the development of the Pico C et al who chose a heavily discounted Pico C sometime in the future as the return on their...

I'm pretty sure you can't, but can you elaborate on what specifically you want out of the two profiles? I'm assuming it's just not wanting your commercial PicoPaks saying "Made by Username9712". If that's all, just make your one username your "official" one. You're in full control over what's...

I haven't banded my hop cages ever as the lids are a really tight fit and I've never maxed out hop capacity, but they'd be called silicone cooking bands or something like that on Amazon or another site. Like pblocked said, the machine does what it's supposed to right out of the box. Aside from a...
