No affiliation wit them just thought you all might find it interesting. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fravity/trailkeg-gallon-pressurized-beer-growler?ref=nav_search

perhaps the machine is getting closer to reality. Particularly interesting to read the FAQ. If it works, it is a very versatile machine. Control of entire brew process (temps, times, etc.), ferm temp control, Use your own ingredients, etc. hope it comes to fruition...

Good Morning All, IMHO we are in a really neat period in automated homebrewing. Several companies are working to bring various level of automated brewing equipment to Market. It is interesting to watch. Wonder if in 10 years we will look back at this period as the Dawn of Automated Brewing...

Hi, I ran across a rather large Users Group on FaceBook of Pico and Z users. It was about 1000 members. However, I have searched and searched and cannot find it today. Anyone have a link to the group? Thanks Dan

Hi Team, Now that the Pico C is out on the KickStarter, I am struggling to find meaningful differences between it and the Pico S (original Stainless Steel one). Paraphrasing: On last night's webcast, when asked, the CEO of PickBrew said there is effectively no difference. He went on to...

Good Mornign Team, Thought I would start a new thread for folks to comment on the New Pico Brew Unlimited. With Pico Packs running between $20 and $30, that means break even is somewhere between 20 and 25 kits a year for $500. So 2 Pico kits a month breaks even... Does not seem too bad...

Hi All, Just got the latest email from Pico on the kick starter they launch tomorrow morning. ..quoting " new, more affordable Pico model, simpler to use keg, endless beer supply or an interactive brewing experience, we’ve got something for all you craft beer lovers out there." "simpler...

Good Morning Team, As you all probably know PicoBrew is launching a new Kickstarter on April 3rd. They call it their "Best Campaign Ever". I thought it might be interesting to have a thread with thoughts on what it will be? I will start. I think it will be a beer machine along the lines...

Good Morning, If the current schedule holds, the first Igulu automated Brewing machines will be in users hands by June. I have been studying the various offerings (or soon to be offerings) in the emergent 5L automated breweries. Of all of them (pico Brew, MiniBrew, etc.), IMHO, if it...

So here is the story. About a year ago I purchased the core of this system (Kegerator, kegs, brew stand, controller, and grain mill) off Home Brew at a great price of $750. I have since added about $1500 worth of stuff I never used any of the stuff. I did run a water test batch thru the...

Hi Team, As you have probably garnered from my posts, I have been considering a BIAC system. Chatting with Steven from Brau Supply, I learned he was working on a redesign/update of his BIAC. I decided to wait and see how this turned out before pulling the trigger. I just heard from him...

Hi Team, My son lives in a small apartment. I would like to get a mini-kegerator system for Christmas. One of the ones that sits on a counter-top, keeps the brew cold, and dispenses. Here is an example...

Hi Team, Noticed Bluetooth Thermometer on clearance while in my local Target: http://m.target.com/p/taylor-bluetooth-food-thermometer-with-free-app-dual-probes-and-timer/-/A-16965406 Being a sucker for a Bargain, I picked one up...now I need to figure how to incorporate into my...

When I was shopping for a conical, I noticed there seemed to be basically two different designs; Tall/thin and short/fat. Example of tall/thin: https://conical-fermenter.com/12-Gallon-Conical-Fermenter-With-Thermowell.html Example of short/fat...

Hi, So I have been given 4 ball lock kegs. Over all they are in good shape. Two of them were still under pressure. However, they smell musty inside, have a few ounces of clear liquid in the bottom, and brown floating stuff in the liquid. How best to "save" them? Cleaning and...

Hi, Assuming one is fermenting an ale. Fermentation is complete, and temp inside the conical is about 68 degrees To Qualify as 'Cold Crashing": 1) How Low of a temp does one need to go to? 2) How fast do you need to get from 68 Degrees to the "Cold Crash" Temp? 3) For optimum...
