You can read the Pico FAQ here.

You can read about my brewing results in this post: Brewing Beer with the PicoBrew Pico S: Racking, Kegging, and Tasting!

If you purchase a Pico for yourself using the BEERCODE below from PicoBrew.com, you and I will receive coupons for two free PicoPaks each, good for any of the beers in the entire BrewMarketplace online store!

MY BEERCODE:    R7Z0BUGS12

The PicoBrew Pico retails for $799, and it is available directly from PicoBrew and from other retailers including Amazon [affiliate link].

What I Like: Almost everything is included so that you can confidently begin brewing your own beer, right on your kitchen counter; You can buy PicoPaks that are custom-made by you or that have recipes from popular breweries ready for you to try; The included manual is clear and easy to follow; You do not need to have any experience to use the Pico — you just have to be able to follow instructions

What Needs Improvement: I do wish that the included user manual was more heavy-duty as it will eventually get wet; The up-front cost is prohibitive
