Pico Brewing Systems Inc, Michigan, USA, femto-Brewing System

[D Barwood]

Hi,
just won a Pico Brewing Systems Inc, Michigan, USA. 5 gallon femto-Brewing System on eBay, was wondering if anyone had any experience or a manual for this system.
Thanks
Dave

I think it depends on which system it is. The company Pico Brew went out of business so the Pico Brew C and S are no longer supported. It’s possible the Zymatic and maybe another system can still be used independently. I’ve never heard of the Femto system but I think it was the larger 5 gallon systems that had a chance of still being used. Search around there are a few pico brew threads and FB groups for those still trying to use the systems.

It's never a "good sign" when the 1st search from "the duck" result returns me to the home brewing thread I started with.

Next stop: Internet Archives "WayBack machine". Pages for picobrew.com look reasonable until around 2020. Looking at 5 gal equipment, this may be the "Z" product line. It may be that manuals are behind a purchase.

So, back to "the duck" for another search ...

note: if your specific item is not a "picobrew z", similar searches for picobrew owners manuals may be helpful.

I think it was an old company and the name has since been reused by a different company

How about making life easy for everyone and provide a link to the auction you won. It would solve several mysteries.

I haven't used my Z2 for almost four years. I think it is time to just send it off for recycling.
