Pico Pro // Beer Brewing Machine // Reconditioned Like New

The great craft breweries perfect their beers with a combination of technique and technology; home brewers have always struggled to replicate that on a smaller scale. Now, the Pico Pro automates the craft brewing process - in a system that fits on your kitchen counter.

It just makes sense that the freshest ingredients make the best and freshest craft beers. That’s why PicoBrew builds their PicoPaks “on-demand” with the finest pre-measured grains and hops, and deliver these PicoPaks directly to your doorstep. Your Pico Pro recognizes each specific PicoPak and its associated recipe based on its RFID tag, taking the guesswork out of brewing and ensuring delicious results, every time. PicoPaks contain fresh grains that have been malted, roasted and cracked so they are primed to release the special sugars that waters at precise temperatures can unlock flavor.

Adding hops into the boil at different stages lends different characteristics to the resulting beer, from bitterness derived from alpha acids to more flavors and aromas derived from the hop oils. The PicoBrewing process, with up to 4 unique hop additions accommodates a very broad range of beer recipe styles. After the beer wort has been fully infused with delicious hop flavors and aromas the solution is cooled, and then the magic begins. Yeast is "pitched" into the beer wort and begins to go to work on the sugars, converting them into alcohol and CO2. Different yeasts also impart their own unique flavors to the beer. Fermentation typically takes 4-7 days, depending on the beer and the yeast.

Forcing the right amount of carbonation into your beer finishes it off, allows the beer to be crisp and refreshing, enhancing bitterness and mouth-feel, and carrying the fresh hop and malt aromas to your nose. Pico Pro comes with a precision CO2 regulator and cartridges that allow you to finish your beer perfectly.
