Modular Brewing Appliances

The PicoBrew Z Series Offers a Modular Design for All Users

— February 14, 2018 — Lifestyle
The PicoBrew Z Series is a modular home appliance designed for small-batch brewing. This product is the newest addition to the PicoBrew family and combines all the innovations of past units, with new modern amenities. Built specifically for restaurants, bars, brewpubs, home brewers and craft breweries, the PicoBrew Z Series offers a host of brewing features, but its modular design truly sets it apart. The modular design allows users to stack units together for larger yields and will work with any product from PicoBrew's Z Series.

The PicoBrew Z Series currently offers the ability to produce 10 gallons of beer at a time, depending on the model selected. The four appliances currently in the line include the Z1 through to the Z4—each step up includes another 2.5 gallons of beer yield. Each device comes outfitted with fluid distribution, heating components and Wi-Fi connectivity, which is used to create recipes and for the control of temperature, fluid flow and timing.
