    A lot of us who have decided to cancel maintain the connection to this thread because we are interested in the Z product roll-out, and its hopeful success. We are all brothers and sisters in homebrewing and want to see each of us succeed. Personally, I put out my initial comments on my...

    Looking good. Keep us posted on the brew-side.

    You’re correct. I’ll let you know how the hops come out.

    I’ve read those and contributed. My biggest issues with the Brewie has been the most recent update forced me to re-calibrate and re-clean before I could brew (not so bad). The developer mode in the last release gives you pretty precise control over all components in the system which is pretty...

    Saturday, i held a party at my house while I brewed using my Brewie (11th brew - no issues). During that time I completed the brew, chilled it, drained it into my conical, cleaned the Brewie (short and long) - with automated water inlet and popped the 5 stainless components in the dishwasher...

    I never thought they were going to be same vessel. I understood that you could brew two different recipes, one in each, at the same time or both together.

    That is my understanding also. Multi-batch yes, but single brain.

    Very happy to see that someone is getting their unit and hoping that it works as designed. Thanks for keeping us posted on your experience. Regardless of my canceling, I’d like to those that hung in there have great success. Keep posting!

    I’m hoping that when they all get delivered and work extremely well for you guys that hung in there, that they will be what we all hoped for. Your patience should be rewarded. I also hope that their support team steps up should there be problems. I’ve had very good luck with Pico support once...

    I did just yesterday get a ship date on my PicoStill. Of course, I’ll have to use the work-around for my Zymatic since I canceled my Z2. I’ve not seen any ship date news on anything other than the Z1. Then again, I don’t get any updates anymore.

    I find it interesting that I have been removed from all mailings ever since I canceled - which I did delicately. I even inquired about receiving new mailings and they assured me that I was on the list and I should be receiving them. But, no updates on the Z, no PicoPak Spam that you speak of. No...

    That sucks. I do love my Brewie (since 11/6) and am careful not to protect the screen because it looked as if it could get damaged by an overflow. Six brews - not without some issues, but a better process that the Zymatic.

    Good to see they are putting dates out there.

    Woo hoo. Still would like to see more information about the product your receiving, no?

    I’ve done four flawless brews on my Brewie + since 11/6. I pack it the night before, have my wife follow the start-Ul steps a couple of hours before I am to arrive home and then I pick it up when o arrive. Of course, I can’t taste these beers for another few weeks, but I don’t think I can...

    I agree. Maybe we little people had an impact. At least they’re telling you something. Happy to see our colleagues will ultimately getting what they held out for. Good be cool to test side by side Brewie vs Z2 both for performance, science and taste. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. For me -...

    Good for you. Brewie price went up after their birthday sale. Still, I did mine on Amazon. One note - there are Brewie Pads on Amazon, but they are passed their ‘Best Buy’. Still a little better priced and good for starting out. I’m headed to my own recipes now. Joe
