    Ah.... yeah, more for the Z I guess then. :-(

    On a different note. Has anyone looked at Vessi? Pico (or Z) + vessi seems like an overkill in automation, but just curious.

    exactly. Ok, thanks... I thought I sucked at google searching. ;-)

    Anyone got a good source for a 3Gal keg? I'm looking for the equivalent of the Pico ones... nice rubber feet and dual handle rubberized as well. Amcyl or AEB of preference.

    Thanks! email issues, don't want to miss any deals! Yesterdays had me thinking for a while. I just don't have space for the Z.

    Yep, I opened 3 tickets lately and all were answered within 4 hours.

    Hummm thanks for everyone input. I never gave it much of a shake, I guess I will have to try that and poring the DME back in. It’s better than on toes for sure.

    Yeah, tell me about it. Some fell off the pack when I opened the back. I was wearing a pair of commercial crocs (don’t judge!) and my feet got glued to the crocs! That pak sure is sweet. Thanks for the figures provided, i’m Not too far, so all is normal I guess. Cheers!

    What was your OG on this pak? I recalculated mine three times and recalibrate my refractometer, my OG was 1.071 or 17.3 BRIX. I find it quite off from stated OG. How much yeast did you pitch on that one? I'm tempted to drop 5g. or a little less than half.

    Yikes, no, it's an older one. And I see what you mean, I guess I am lucky. It smells so nice too, the aroma it left in the room made me both, thirsty and hungry. lol.

    Funny to read this today, I just brewed the Not-Yet-ie last night. Lucky enough I guess, no issues.

    For what it's worth, I went with the Pico Pro approach, before pico pro was offered. I have converted my regulators to: 1. accept co2 cartridges and paintball bottles, and 2. are now used to connect to a ball lock connectors. This allows me to carb the beer, and to serve. I got myself some ball...

    Thanks again. Ok, I will keep in mind. The carb stone seems appealing to me. Anyone else has any experience with those? If so, what did/do you think?

    Firmware version. Out of curiosity, what is everyone's firmware version on a S (or Pro) ?
  17. Lbarouf

    Great, thanks for the quick reply. So 3 gal it is I guess. It's the option I prefer as well. Forced carbonation in the serving keg... does it take any longer in 3Gal instead? If so, would a carbing/diffusion stone help reduce the carbonation time significantly at 3Gal ?

    Any recommended keg size to brew 2 batches? I was thinking of the 3 gal AMCYL. Would it be best to ferment separately then combine, or combine the wort in 1 then ferment? I'm leaning towards the first option because I then don't have to buy 2 larger kegs for racking. Any recommendations...

    My take is on the Pi Zero W. Even if you need/want wired network, you can get a ethernet on usb. The small footprint for me is the aim. The 3s are fine, I just find them big for this use. I feel it would be easier to put a Zero in a kegerator if you are planning to ferment lagers inside one.

    Humm. Yeah, great price point. But don't know. I'll look forward to your review and comparison to the tilt. I'd like to avoid buying 4 tilts if I can, but I know they are great. cheers,
