I've never done an all-grain brew before, but it's a lot less hassle than an extract brew. The only real mess that got made was a bit of leftover wort hit the floor when removing the grain tub at the end. Other than that, no big deal.
@BuddyJ and @DeathJester and I enjoyed some local brew while watching the process. I'd say it was pretty fun.
The only down side to this model is the 2.5 gallon batch size, but given how easy and consistent the whole process is, it shouldn't be a problem to run back-to-back batches of the same recipe.
Cool. With the right combo of fittings, you can put a counterflow chiller in-line between the Zymatic and the keg - cooling on the fly with intact warranty!
Lesson #1: Enzymes are important, especially in gluten-free brewing. Batch #1 didn't ferment. At all.
Lesson #2: Milling size is important. Too fine and your screen gets clogged and the bin overflows.
0/2 with the Picobrew, but at least I'm learning the major lessons now...

True facts.
I heard he was small time

@mertesn nice! I sold mine
But I used it for years if you have any questions!
Did you get it used?
No I bought it new quite some time ago. This was the first time I had a chance to use it.

I have these 4oz bottles from when I was GF brewing. Want em? Just pay for shipping.
The Amg-300L says "expired", but I'm not sure how it expires.
