This is one of the issues with the serving kegs. You really can’t get inside to “wash” it you can only rinse for the most part. Use some PBW or Oxy clean free to soak it in and then rinse like there is no tomorrow. Once it is rinsed thoroughly, shake all the water you can out, leave the...

In theory I agree with you but I would wait if I was a club or Buisness. Pico has been great with their support but there have been some issues with the OGZ. So I would wait and see how the Z series performs before making plans like continuous brewing for a club/Buisness.

I have read that they will give you to the option to upgrade to a larger unit before they ship so that is an option. o_O

Been there done that.....^

If these are the final dimensions then I will be racking mine in a wall mount rack beside my wall mounted conical and give a single vessel a try or two... :rock: I figured the wattage of the heaters would be around where they are. If they hope to stay in the 120v area, 240v if you are running...

I Like where you are heading, I always try and think of ways to improve something. I don't think you need a power controller though you need is the brain. If you look at the Z1 and Z2 the Z2 has extra rings on top of both sections, I believe that is the power controller but the top piece is what...

This is a precautionary task to make sure there is no water left in the line. There is a small chance that after a rinse there can be some water left behind. Do not add anything to your Step filter or reservoir. If you do this will introduce more chance for water to be introduced into your beer...

I have transferred to my conical with gravity siphon as well as from conical to keg. As long as you are not splashing the fermented wort around I don’t think you have much to worry about.

I have been doing brew 1st, rinse, brew 2nd, rinse, brew 3rd, deep clean. I have not noticed any difference in the deep clean after three or two when running back to back brews.

As long as it is back to back runs I don’t see an issue. The wort doesn’t have time to gunk up the machine. I run triple batches and rinse between and deep clean afterwards.

Found more of the keg coolers at another Walmart

My triple batches ferment just fine in a 5 gallon Corny. If all is measured out properly you should be around 4 1/2 gal 1gal 6 cups x 3 = 22 cups x 3 66 cups / 1 gal = 66 cups / 16 cups 4.125 gal Some of the more aggressive batches that I add a couple cups to will give very little blow off...

I posted this earlier to the wrong thread lol, anyway here it is again for anyone looking for a serving keg option... I found this at my local Walmart on clearance.

Ok here is the answer I got for my email I sent in, This should help several questions be answered. This will be a little long for a post... Mike B (PicoBrew Inc.) Feb 16, 15:58 PST Hi! Thanks for contacting PicoBrew. Yes, our FAQ's are woefully incomplete - we're updating them daily to...

Well that sucks for anyone that bought the Z1 after reading the message that was posted from Annie.

I bought in as well, been looking at the OGZ and haven't pulled the trigger then the Z dropped. So I jumped on a Z2, price difference from Z1 to Z2 was so small it made me feel froggy and jump. There is very little info out but as it has been stated there are a few things that they have said it...

I like that idea, I can split discounts as well. Here is my code.... KYW9Z

Woot, Woot, I am one of the first 500 orders so I get special edition Z2 and the special edition keg cozy. At least that’s what the email says... now they want us to push the Z to everyone to get more off. Just wish I knew enough people that had disposable income... lol

Welcome Pete! Nice story even if you are speculating. I am in the same boat, did BIAB for a few years then got out due to time constraints. Found a Pico S on the shelf at my Costco. I got it for 300 out the door so not bad I don’t think. Been enjoying brewing every since. I wanted to upgrade and...
