A few years (and many pints of beer) later, the first PicoBrew Zymatic® was born. The Zymatic improves the precision, repeatability, and overall quality of the beer-brewing experience. It allows you to slightly modify each individual batch, to fine tune your beer to your individual taste. Now every home brewer can truly focus on the art of flavor and style with each batch of beer.


Watched a couple videos last night. I got to admit, this is kind of cool, and would be perfect for brewing during the week. Basically you just push a button and 4 hours later you have beer.

Makes 2.5 gallons.

At a price tag of $1999, i'd never get one, that and i like the entire process of brewing. This seems like it takes away some of the control for brewing. The specs do say that the system is designed for 70-80% efficiency, and that multiple dry hopping is possible. Just curious how good of a beer could you make with this thing. Seems like it would have limitations.

Have a buddy who has one in Prairieville. Very experienced brewer who makes great beer. He loves the thing so far.

If I had $2k to spend on brewing, you better believe it'd be going towards an all-electric rig that can brew at minimum 10 gallons.

That said, I could see the appeal of this to some people. I've read some reviews and it apparently makes some decent beer.
