First off want to say thank you to Thorrak, et al. for all the hard work that goes into making something this complex easy to use. I've got my system up and running and have just one hiccup right now, tiltbridge integration. When I go to add a new gravity sensor, i go through the flow to add...

So it's turned on and loaded with two kegs now. Finishing the door was messy with a dremel but easy enough. Next stop, keg stacking spacers And cleaning up tubing.. -Josh

In order to keep the peace in the house a kegerator upstairs was commissioned... Since I moved to a Picobrew Zymatic, i've been doing smaller batches and 2.5 gallon kegs are a great fit for my batch size. Additionally my local vintner has fruit wines that my SWMBO loves, and we've started...

There were some questions on the main Zymatic thread: Water volume is more than the mini brew bucket will hold: There are a couple of things here: 1. once the system starts running it pulls a decent amount of water into the zymatic. That allows you to pull the foam trap and add the...

Here's a link the my other thread on using the mini-brew bucket. I'm far from the first so if others have info/experiences to share that would be awesome.. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=575610 So as not to fully thread jack here, i'll drop my answers to your questions...

Full volume every time. The Pico handles "mash thickness" by the constrained volume of the step filter. In that ways it's like a BIAB set up. As for using the mini brew bucket with the Z the single best thing i did with mine was get a second base for it. One on the brew stand, one in the...

I could, except that it probably wouldn't work directly for you. I'm using a SS Brewtech mini brew bucket in place of the keg when running the system. The key factors I played with were: Brewhouse Efficiency - 65% Lauter tun losses - .11 gallons Boil off - 0.00 gallons (sub boiling...

I've had my Z for a bit over a year now and I find myself agreeing with parts of both sides: 1. The "Z" itself: Of all the automated systems out there that I looked at this was the most "complete" solution I saw. I am still of the opinion that for a machine that is able to run the hot side...

jmark, The part I used was from ssbrewtech, it's the mini brew bucket valve and racking arm replacement kit. So you end up with a spare valve and racking arm. There were 3 key steps: 1. drill a hole for a bung and the foam trap in the middle of the lid (or where ever you like really), i used...

So change in direction with my brewing means that the pico brew Pico that i bought is no longer on the roadmap. It's new in box, never used. Asking $599 + shipping (or if you're in the chicagoland area we could probably arrange local pickup). Fully $200 off the current list price on the...

Well, I'm finally cutting the cord and moving fully to the Picobrew Zymatic. I'm putting up my 15 gallon Blichmann G1 based eBIAB set up for sale. I pulled the electronics apart as part of a planned rebuild that never happened. There are 3 major components for sale (all plus shipping) : -...

Pm sent!

Andrew, Unfortunately they leak in a "correct" position. It's a very slow leak, a drop every couple of seconds. I wanted to be open about the health of the valves. -Josh

I'm in the northwest suburbs. I'll reply via PM with details to each person. Thanks all for the interest.
