The complete brewing journey
Tools for planning, brewing, monitoring, and sharing
Work in one place without treating every machine, recipe, or session as interchangeable.
02
Calculations and inventory
Review OG, FG, ABV, IBU, and SRM calculations while keeping brewing ingredients, quantities, and units organized.
03
Machine-aware brewing
Prepare compatible recipes and family-specific workflows for supported PicoBrew equipment.
04
Brew sessions and history
A recipe defines the intended plan; a brew session represents an execution of it. Use Brew History to revisit recorded batches and available actual results.
05
PicoFerm monitoring
Follow supported PicoFerm fermentation sessions with available readings and trends for temperature, pressure, and voltage, together with session timing and status.
06
Brewer community
Explore recipes Brewer friends have chosen to make available through PicoNew’s existing friendship and visibility settings, then clone an available recipe into your own collection.
Supported machines
Built around real machine differences
PicoNew keeps compatibility explicit because workflows and generated instructions may differ by machine family.
Machine family
PicoBrew Z
Create and prepare recipes using the supported PicoBrew Z workflow, including Z-specific machine instructions where applicable.
Machine family
Pico S/C
Manage compatible Pico S/C recipes with the distinct workflow and machine requirements for this family.
PicoFerm is supported as a fermentation-monitoring device. Availability of readings depends on the connected device and session data received.
Brew and fermentation records
Follow what happens beyond the recipe
Recipes describe the intended brewing plan. Sessions record individual brews or fermentations, helping you review what happened and what was recorded.
Revisit recorded brews
Brew History keeps batches connected to their recipes and makes recorded sessions easier to find. Review session status and available actual brewing results without changing the original recipe plan.

FAQ
Questions before your next brew
PicoNew is a brewing-management and machine-connectivity platform for supported PicoBrew equipment. It brings together recipe creation and import, brewing preparation, recorded sessions, supported PicoFerm monitoring, and recipe sharing with Brewer friends.
PicoNew supports workflows for PicoBrew Z and Pico S/C machine families, along with fermentation monitoring for supported PicoFerm devices. Available workflows, instructions, and session data depend on the equipment being used.
Yes. You can create, clone, manage, and print recipes or import supported recipe formats. Eligible recipes can be deliberately adapted for equipment and batch size before brewing.
Yes. Brew History helps you find recorded brew sessions and review available actual results. Supported PicoFerm sessions can also show session timing, status, and available temperature, pressure, and voltage readings over time.
You can browse recipes that Brewer friends have chosen to make available through PicoNew’s existing friendship and recipe-visibility settings. An available recipe can be cloned into your own collection and adapted for your equipment and brewing needs. Recipes are not made public or shared automatically.
You’ll need a supported PicoBrew machine, a PicoNew account, and a supported PicoNew Connect network bridge. For the recommended setup, a compatible router is configured to direct your machine to PicoNew’s cloud services. After signing in, the Connect page lists the required equipment and provides setup instructions for the supported connection options.

Built on community pioneering
PicoNew gratefully recognizes chiefwigms' open-source picobrew_pico project and the Small Brew Companion community for pioneering work that helped PicoBrew owners bring their machines back online long before PicoNew existed. Ideas and knowledge shared through these efforts—and the opportunity to study the open-source picobrew_pico repository maintained by chiefwigms—helped inform PicoNew's development.
