    We're cloudy on the benefits of the PicoBrew Zymatic, especially for $2,000.

    Personally, I'd rather save money and get a Grainfather. Although it's not scheduled to be available in the US for about another month or two.

    The Speidel Braumeister (German-produced) is a lot better, i'd recon. It's in the same price range, but gives you a lot more value for money. The new version even has wi-fi!, and it comes in 10, 20, 50, 200 and 500L versions.

      +Hallslys The Grainfather is even better.It comes in under $1000 US$ and does not require it to be hooked up to the internet....just a matter of time till the Pico Brew owners get slapped with a subscription fee LOL.I jumped into all grain brewing 2 years ago having never made beer before and I opted for a 3 vessel system with 2 coolers for the mash tun/HLT and a boil kettle and I made damn good beer.All I can say is I LOVE my Grainfather,it is 1/3rd of the price of a Braumeister and it comes with a counter flow chiller.

      +Elsinore Brewing The grainfather has tons of more nooks and crannies to clean tho. That's the thing with the braumeister. It's german quality at its best. high-polished stainless steel with few nooks and crannies. Easy to clean. The only thing that needs to be taken off to be cleaned properly is the pump. The grainfather has tons of tubes, nooks and crannies to clean... I'd much rather have a regular old 3 tier system instead of the grainfather.

      I starting beer brewing back in 1971. All these systems are fun and can make some good beer. It would be so boring if everyone used the same system.

    Seems stupid, especially with the online requirement. will the machine continue to function if that company goes out of business and shuts their server down?

    is that thing BPA FREE? I wonder how many estrogen mimicking chemicals that thing is releasing.

    Now guess how many craft beers I can buy on tap during happy hour with that $2,000.

      asronome While the price point might suggest that, it was promoted as also for home use.

    I've been makin beer at home for awhile now, as i is cheap and very easy and fun to make.
    Specially herbal beers.
    This seems pointless/unnescesary in my opinion.

    Don't see the reason for getting it, unless you just want to toy around and try to make "your own" beer.
