I bought my PicoBrew Pro as part of a Kickstarter project in 2016. Since then it has made many beers that enriched our family events with freshly drafted craft beer. In the first few months, I could only get a handful of beers, but now the selection has grown to over 100 PicoPaks from all over the world covering everything from IPAs to Lagers.

How does it work?

  1. Order a PicoBrew appliance and some PicoPaks from the PicoBrew web page.
  2. Order some CO2 gas cartridges for carbonation from Amazon.
  3. Buy some distilled water from your local grocery store.
  4. Turn on your PicoBrew appliance.
  5. Fill the beer keg coming with the PicoBrew appliance with distilled water.
  6. Connect the keg to the PicoBrew appliance.
  7. Add some water to the water reservoir of the PicoBrew appliance.
  8. Put the PicoPak into the PicoBrew appliance.
  9. Make adjustment to the bitterness and alcohol level as desired.
  10. Start the brew process.
  11. Wait about two hours for the brew process to complete.
  12. Cool your keg using ice or be patient and just until it has cooled off.
  13. Add the yeast coming with the PicoPak and shake your keg.
  14. Store the keg at room temperature for about 9 days.
  15. Move your beer from the brewing keg to a serving keg.
  16. Carbonate your keg using the included sugar or just use a CO2 cartridge (recommended).
  17. Cool your beer keg for another day or two.
  18. Follow the automated cleaning process.
  19. Enjoy some of the best and freshest beers the world has to offer!

What makes it special?

I really like the ability to try craft beers from around the globe. I mean I can see family members who normally don’t drink beer giving my brewed beers a try and enjoying them. I think the whole experience of making your own beer is what makes PicoBrew so special. I have tried to make some beer in the past, but it normally involved a lot of work and it used to be quite messy.

The PicoBrew appliance can actually live on a kitchen counter and I haven’t seen it making a mess beyond a few drops of water. So, it is really approachable for beginners. It even comes with a mobile application allowing me to monitor the brew process without having to stay close to the machine.

How is support?

PicoBrew always impresses me when I talk to support because they are very responsive and knowledgeable. So far, I had one issue with a broken pressure valve (I am guessing it might just require cleaning) and they immediately mailed me a replacement. I didn’t even have to send in my broken valve first. Whole process was completed within just a few days. Any other question I had on the brew process was typically answered in just a few minutes.

But don’t trust me on this one. Just do a search on Google or facebook and you will find the same feedback from other customers.

What is the PicoBrew Z all about?

While my PicoBrew Pro excels at brewing PicoPaks, it doesn’t allow me to create my own beer. This is where the PicoBrew Z comes in! I mean it still allows me to brew PicoPaks, but I can also create my own beer recipes. In fact, I can even create my own PicoPaks and make money on royalties if I feel confident in my beer taste.

What makes the PicoBrew Z different from existing PicoBrew appliances?

  • Ability to create your own beer recipes and PicoPaks
  • Can also brew Kombucha, Cold Brew and Nitro Infused Cold Brew Coffee
  • Can be used as sous vide appliance to cook steaks and seafood
  • Modular design can scale from 2.5 to 10 gallons
  • More robust and industrial than its predecessor

Basically, the PicoBrew Z elevates the whole homebrewing process to a semi-professional level. So, if you are serious about drinking beer, you probably want a PicoBrew Z!

What does it cost?

A PicoPak typically costs around $22 to $26 and you get free shipping if you order value is over $50.

The PicoBrew Z appliances is currently available as a pre-order for 50% off its planned MSRP. There are four different models (Z1 to Z4) ranging from $1,499 (2.5 gallons) to $3,999 (10 gallons). The pre-order offer will be available for another 15 until March 14. Afterwards, the normal MSRP will range from $2,500 to $8,500.

As always, great quality and convenience comes with a cost, but if you enjoy different beers regularly and if you want to brew beer for family events or parties with your friends, the PicoBrew Z will be the right investment for you.
