  • Page 7: First Rinse

    FIRST RINSE Before you start your first brew, run a quick rinse cycle using an empty bucket, your keg, and the cleaning wand. You may notice the keg running empty, which can cause the flow from the nozzle to look erratic. This is normal—pulling air through the machine aids in removing buildup.
  • Page 8 Once the rinse cycle completes, remove your Step Filter, dump out any remaining water, and clean Step Filter. 6. Remove, clean, and re-install in-line filter. Disconnect the keg from the machine. To disconnect the Ball Locks, pull up on the outer ring of the Ball Lock, and pull the Ball Lock off of the keg post.

  • Page 9: Let's Brew

    LET’S BREW Once your equipment is clean, it’s time to get brewing! Follow the steps below to get started: From the main menu of your Z, select Recipes, select the recipe you want to brew, and then follow the on-screen prompts to complete steps detailed below.
  • Page 10 15. Connect the BLACK Ball Lock to the OUT keg post and the GRAY Ball Lock to the IN keg post of your filled keg. While your Z brews, you can watch its progress online. Login to your PicoBrew account on picobrew.com, select the BrewHouse tab, then select the current recipe under the Z session list to view session data with current wort and heat loop temperatures.

  • Page 11: Care And Maintenance

    We highly recommend using Pro Brewers Wash to clean and Star San to sanitize your keg before the next brew. Consult the “How to clean your keg video” on the PicoBrew website for help here. Deep Clean Every 3-4 brews, you will need to run a deep clean cycle on your Z. For the deep clean cycle, you will need a dishwasher tablet (one has been included in your kit).

  • Page 12: Customer Care

    After the Clean Cycle is complete, it is important to rinse with clean water. Run 5 gallons of water through your machine using the rinse cycle. Discard the rinse water. Customer Care If you experience any problems with your Z Series brewing system, please contact support@picobrew.com for assistance.
