Are there any Sam's Club members that could check the current price and availability online? They require a membership to see the price and I don't want to sign up first since there is no store in my state. Thanks.

$688 with a 100 gift card for future pico paks.
Wow did the price go up? I thought they were on par with Costco which had them for 299 for a while. It was the S model but still worth the investment. At the moment it is not listed on Costco website.

$688 was for the S also. Didn't realize they were going for $299. That's a steal.
I grabbed one from Costco when I saw it, 320 out the door, I thought I saw that Sams had them for 399 with the 100 coupon before though. Will have to track that back down to make sure.
Thank you Pagrider, I was looking for it but have been unable to find it posted anywhere yet. I didn’t think I was dreaming when I saw it lol.
So anyone interested that is a great deal for a great machine!

Huh, I just checked again to see if I read it wrong, but it's still showing $688 online. Is that a local in-store price?
Well you can’t argue with that. Good deal if anyone is looking to pick one up. If the store near you doesn’t have it for that price make sure to show them Pagrider’s snapshot.
Some stores had a clearance sale a few months ago, some were $488, some were $388. Sold out all around here and never restocked, Sams is out of the Pico business. Online is $688 for what’s left. YMMV at local stores.
Check your local store before giving up they are in the electronics section or have a family or friend go buy it for you and ship it if there is no stores close by. Have seen them in several Sams recently.
Also look out for Pico's discount codes. Pico also it appears has an affiliate program where affiliates can offer discounts I have seen some people offer 15 percent off if you use their code at purchase. Not as good as the Sams deal but better than paying full price. I bet their will be some black friday deals as well.

I can give anyone a 15% code for the Picobrew website, good for anything they sell Pico, Z, picopacks, kegs, etc. Send me a PM if you need one, don’t pay full price on Picobrew.com! It’s not an affiliate program I get nothing whether you use the code or not.
They ran their sales promotions last week, different deal each day they were pretty good.

I am not on FB, but I did get some of those offers by email. Only Day 2 and Day 5 strangely, and the rest were not in my spam folder, so I had no idea what was going on. For the last several months there have been 20% off select picopak promotions what seems like every other week, and it helps when you are not in an area that is covered by the "all you can drink" offer of the last kickstarter. I went through 28 paks this year, and even this was hardly drowning in beer, so I am painfully aware of how much I miss the deal! I hope people here pass on the 12 days of Christmas offers this year because that looks like the best way for those of us overseas to stock up for the winter months (that is, S&H becomes the bulk of the purchase price!).
I will try my best to keep the deals posted from here on. There is currently a couple promotions going on for Thanksgiving.
Post your pics for thanksgiving and if selected get a free pak on Pico. Click link for all details.

Are people removing the dry hops and and the mash hops from the package and keeping them in the fridge? Seems like a good idea.
Yes, and the yeast.
It’s page 43 for me! Ya I noticed there was a forum update, I think what happened is each page has more posts than before, but 4x as many???

As an FYI - Amazon and Pico are having a Cyber Monday deal! The Pico C is $399 and the Pico Pro is $549! We just snagged one ourselves.
Yep, I do. Although I brew them pretty fast.
slow pack shipping? Is it just me? Placed an order October 14th. It did say 4 to 7 days shipping, but I thought I would be okay. Except my family drank all my beer at Thanksgiving... Not all, all they could find.
Still not showing as shipped it's now the 27th. I have only one pack on hand to brew.

The new forum update calls it conversations. You should see a link up top for your profile, then click conversations. I sent you a message, you should also get an alert.Okay, I can't figure out how to PM! Please tell me.
As far as the slow shipping, that’s crazy. Send them an email! I only choose packs in stock and they always ship within 2 days, usually next day.
Well I usually do that too... but since Thanksgiving was coming I thought a few extra days wouldn't matter. But now we are at 2 weeks. Thanks for the PM explanation.

I have several paks on order all coming from Washington to North Carolina and they have taken 8 days or less. That’s crazy to think 13 to 14 days and still not shipped. Maybe a backorder on that pak?

I had an order go two months before shipping, so I contacted them and they said they had QC issues with the Kermode IPA that held it up. If it is a couple of weeks, an email usually does the trick. I typically get orders to my door in Japan within 10 days of pushing the order button.
BTW, my Pico firmware updated on the weekend and now it defaults to a "Descale your pico?" on startup. To change this you have to log into your account and tell it you only use distilled water for brewing. It looks like they are now selling descaler on the store so people can use their tap water to brew packs (it says to descale every 20 brews). Well, that certainly will help for those of us overseas, but now that I became used to distilling water for a flat profile I don't plan on going back!
Ya I noticed that descale option too. I have no plans on using anything other than distilled water in my Pico. A lot of water from the top reservoir makes it into your brew, I don’t want descaler to possibly taint that, or possible issues I know can happen from using tap water in a keurig.

Does anyone remember when the 12 days of Christmas promotion ran last year? I figure to watch that daily for the 50% off paks and then use the picofriends25 at the end of the month if something I still wanted didn't get discounted.
The fine print for 25% off says through Dec 17.
*Discount valid only on PicoBrew.com for regularly priced merchandise through December 17, 2017. Cannot be used on previous orders or combined with other offers. Free shipping good throughout the contiguous U.S.
