    Alabama PicoBrew Zymatic + PicoStill

    I would sell the Picostill separate as well as the 2 extra new step filters. Picostill and step filters are pretty easy to ship so I would do that.

    Alabama PicoBrew Zymatic + PicoStill

    I have a great shape Zymatic + PicoStill (still used 1 time for orange peel essential oil). 650.00 for both. Zymatic is in great shape. No errors, pumps well. Comes with everything original including boxes, except for the 5 gallon keg. Also comes with 3 step filters, 2 of which are brand new...

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Well come to find out it was a keg post that was not getting great flow. Switched to another setup and my flow seems quite a bit better. Teach me to change things up :-) SS Brewtech bucket does not give me this issue but it was busy with other tasks so I decided to use the keg.

    They sent me back a different machine and I was not real happy about it as mine was spotless and this new one had some scrapes on it, the step filter pipe out the back is off-center, and there are a couple of rust spots.

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Well you would think it was a cleaning issue. My Z was sent back about 8 months ago because of the dreaded Error #1. Luckily it was under warranty. I have only done 2 batches since receiving it. The pumps go better than my old one but do not seem to be fast enough to my liking. Maybe I am just...

    Good to know. I was thinking along the same lines that the machine better pull out faster than it is going in otherwise issues will arise...and overflow... Overall I am happy with the machine but during the boil phase it is just not getting enough flow into the hop compartments for a good...

    @Mike Howard If I were to replace my Zymatic Pump with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DLKT4OO/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Would I need to replace both since it pumps at a higher rate?

    That is a great idea. Would love to hear as well.

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Hard to tell if it is an 'upgraded' one or not. Maybe they at least moved on to the 1.2GPM one. The 0.7 version was not nearly strong enough.

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    So what is the downside to using a pump that is not rated for 212? Is there plastic that leaches out of the pump housing? Or do they just have issues pumping that hot of liquid? I'm in on the Z1 and the pumps kind of concern me honestly. I know it is one of the things that is supposedly updated...

    Automated Hop Addition

    Love it. Are you using a servo to move your hop containers or stepper motor? And what is the black tube on the side? Any links to that Solenoid?

    Automated Hop Addition

    The Hops Boss seems very nice but super pricey. And for those of us who do not have a brew-boss kind of out of the picture. Love the OP ideas. Keep them coming and updated.
