The Pinter has kinda taken over the channel recently. So much so, we've made a playlist of videos. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/play/PLBK2-D2DYP3ZvpoNS5XfcT47qadA_0ezL.html
reckon you could have the same thing in a fermzilla all rounder with all the pressure fermentation stuff , and a picnic tap for a lil cheaper. and then buy local hbs fresh wort kits.
My setup too, but also with a grain mill. Though I respect these product which makes it easier for those that might not be into it to make some "homebrew". Might also be a gateway drug for many to get into homebrew.
Idk it seems interesting but I also think it takes all the fun out of homebrew. I enjoy coming up with my own recipes or trying out recipes from the internet. If it was usable as a way to brew custom recipes I would be interested. The way I see this is just like buying a 12 pack with extra steps and more ways to screw it up.
Some people, honestly like myself, cant be arsed with the brewing part. But would love to have a proper pint at home as opposed to a can. I fully get your point but a pint like this would be better than a can. You are stating that a can is of the same as this in quality which is clearly false.
Not sure you're point on the falseness of any claim. The point I'm making is that this is far superior to a cheap canned beer and is much fresher than those and any other canned beer you'll get. Don't understand where the confusion or misleading on our point is.
@@MusingOfaMan I was agreeing with you and disagreeing with the poster here. He stated 'this is just like buying a 12 pack with extra steps to screw it up'. I was stating that is false as the video would clearly be of higher quality than the cans.
@@MusingOfaMan Yeah I thought the original poster had a fine point really until 'it's like buying a 12 pack'. That was clearly over doing his original point which was fine.
Thanks for the video. Your video is better than the official Pinter instructions video that does not even tell you about conditioning and turning the carbonation dial. Cheers
You just saved me completely, getting on the brewing dock the way they show was literally impossible 3 different people tried and failed, used the method you showed and it went on with ease
Cracking vid, came here after searching for some vids to give some info having seen an ad on Instagram. Really appreciate the time you’ve taken to pull this together and the decent production value & entertainment. Not sure on your other content yet but I’ve subscribed as you’ve got a presenting great style so I’m looking forward to more.
Thanks so much for taking the time and thanks for your comments. As for the Pinter, we have a playlist (pinned comment on this video) with 3 videos in total so far and much more to come. Welcome to the community. 👍🏻
Yes great, brought one for myself and also did the Public House first too, 7 days to brew and condition 1 to drink (not alone!). Am on my second brew now, excellent.
I just set mine up and started a brew. The instructional video I was watching on my Tablet was quite good up until the point where I had made the brew and need to reattach the brew dock again The instruction does not show that you put the tank onto the brew dock they show it the other way around which is damn difficult to do. So I watched this video and I am really pleased I did Now 6 days to brew ( Fresh Republic Lager) and 2 days to condition So n the third of February I will be deciding if I get a spare tank to keep brews on the go. Thanks for this very informative video with all the tips.
Having home brewed for over 10years, graduating from bottling to corny kegs, I can honestly say this looks amazing.., and what a great video as well sir. Your family all should receive payment from the company, as they sold the product.
I also don’t like to think I’ve left any malt in the bottle so I keep it somewhere warm (airing cupboard) and stand it in some hot water prior to pouring it in, this makes it more runny. Like I keep telling my partner “I don’t like waste “, especially beer 😁. Excellent system.👌
And continually positive. Still loving it. Its the nature of the beast. Those who have problems will always sound off louder than those who don't. Enjoy it and if you have any problems, the customer service is cracking. 👍🏻
Couldn't resist; I've ordered mine. Can't wait! Originally was looking for a perfect draft or a sub but them being sold out came across this by accident. I've brewed my own beer, cider and mead in the past and recently built a bar so this is perfect. Looks better than the fermenters and kegs i used then. Hope it tastes as good as it looks👍
Ha! I just watched this and think I performed each step the exact same way you did when I first started. My first brew, Resting Peach Face, is currently conditioning in the fridge! Can't wait!
Ordered with the red (nutmeg, cinnamon, orange) and just watched this. Good video. Subscribed and going to watch the others next. Delivery is mid December so should be ok for Christmas 🎄
If you just want a cheap small fermenter and keg just buy a mr beer kit and a separate bucket to siphon beer/wort into while you clean the trub out of the mr beer, less than $100 for 4gallons i think If you want it force carbonate able fermenter look for a pressure barrel fermenter (i brew 15gallons at a time and found this product abit gimmicky but meant for people who don't brew)
What about the cost of the unit? The cost per refill inclusive of any ancillary costs? What does the cost work out to per unit? How does it compare in terms of cost and quality when compared to alternatives, such as home brew kits or just purchasing those 10 pint kegs from a supermarket? I get the fact that you like the product and the beer, but I haven't got any feel for any details beyond that.
@@ronaldcrump942 thanks for the heads up. My mate ordered one but it got returned due to a crack in it. I like the design of the keg thing but could you use it and add cheaper ingredients?
It fits in the fridge. Just in mine, it doesn't fit forward facing. It's no biggie and hasn't bothered me in the now 20+ brews I've done since making this video.
Just go to your local home brew shop and buy proper equipment that lasts years. You'll also save money immediatly and get 40 pints. Throwing away the "dock's" liquid = throwing away about 10 good yeast starter. No disrespect intended I bet it's great if you're rich. Does it include instructions on cleaning the dock and spigot? And do you still have it and use it after 10 months?
Daughters have bought me one of these for my garden bar, can't wait. Not sure it'll beat my BIB beers but they certainly looked like nice pints you pulled. 🍻Excellent review by the way👍
Great video (and production quality). I don't know of any similar product here in the U.S. at that low of a price. I'm an advanced homebrewer, and I brew a LOT. That said, sometimes I want a shorter brew day and I do take measures to achieve that. But I'd love to have a couple Pinters...three or four if I had room. There's absolutely nothing wrong with brewing in this manner, or any manner as long as it works. All the same "downstream" rules about sanitation, temperature control, etc still apply. And if you can really nail those then who can argue? Cheers!
Hello. Good video thank you. I've been to the website and it doesn't give an option to purchase from the United States. Is there somewhere else I could possibly order this from?
Are you still using this? My fridge is small ATM until we get a new kitchen, can this be cooled elsewhere? I have an under the stairs cupboard that is always cold. Thanks
Yeah, still using and still loving it. As for conditioning outside of the fridge, I guess temperature wise, you could. It would have to be on low single figures and consistently that low to be able to condition effectively and not spoil the brew I think.
I was looking at one of these, didn't know it would take so long to brew i'm sure I seen it say it takes 24 hours somewhere on the website either way i'm waiting for them to bring out a strawberry and lime cider like kopparberg before I purchase one, and if its any good i may buy a second one so we can have them in rotation or have them both for a big covid free party when the time comes!. thanks for a great in depth review of the process and the humour helped too.
Ah, thank you. With regards to the 24 hour brewing, I can't imagine anything being able to brew that quickly. If you're into your ciders, we recently tried the Dark Fruits and it was sensational. It's won awards too. Would highly recommend if that's what you're in to. 👍🏻
Thanks as connecting the brew dock as per Greatergood from the top ,would not work for me, connecting your way with dock at bottom and lowering pinter onto it worked no problem, cheers
Turn it back to carbonated each time you've finished pouring. Whether that be one or more glasses you're pouring. By default, yes it will be back to carbonated when returning to the fridge but as a rule, the dial is only at 'OFF' when you're pouring. Hope that makes sense.
There's a whole load of pressure built up in there during the conditioning process. Imagine it's a really shaken up fizzy bottle. Open it as normal and you're gonna be wearing it. However, open it very slightly and allow the built-up gas to escape slowly and you're not gonna need to change your clothes. The Pinter is the same, except the bottle contains 10 pints. 😳
Great review thanks 👍 just one question how long does it stay cold for out of the fridge. I have had lots of mini kegs before for my homebrew but found that they stop pouring a good point when not really cold❄️❄️.
@@MusingOfaMan Coolio thanks mate - I suspect, very much like at your place, there will be plenty of people wanting a try and plenty of pouring... Ace vid - just subscribed and will take a look at your other stuff...
It's a lot larger than I realised, I'm very tempted but as a uni student with limited fridge space it'd pretty much mean I'd have no space to put food (Idek if it'd fit in my current fridge tbh) which is really gutting. Wonder if they'll make a mini pinter or something like that in the future since unfortunately I just don't think I'd be able to get one atm. Maybe in a year or two when I've got a bigger fridge to myself.
Ah, that's a shame. Although, if I think back to my Uni days, I don't remember much food in the fridge. 🙈😂 For what it's worth, front to back with tap on is 38cm 🤞🏻👍🏻
@@MusingOfaMan Just out of curiosity is it not possible to brew it outside of the fridge? I wonder how that would effect the process? Brilliant review - I'm very tempted to get one!
Found your video while looking for a review to decide whether to get a Pinter for myself. Going to go ahead and place my order now. Have you got a co-pinter yet??? Top vid mate, and I'll take a look at some of your others now too. From down the road in Wazza, big thanks. 👍 👍
They've been changing of late. If you go on the site (link in the description) and open a live chat, they're pretty on it with answering any and all questions.
Yes absolutely, we just emptied it before I had the chance. As for pouring from the fridge, that's definitely possible if your fridge is deep enough but you still need to be able to reach the back of the unit to turn the carbonation dial between pourings. I just find it easier to take out and leave to settle. It keeps the cool temperature for a good few hours.
Great vid. Just wish you'd reviewed the Pilsner! Everyone is reviewing the IPA or APA! Buying one for my dad for Christmas, then if I like it as much as I think I will, getting one for myself.
Thanks for the video. You have answered my question about taking out of the fridge an hour before use and refrigerating after each use . Does it have to be drunk within 7 days or is it it just best drunk within 7 days as in the FAQ there is a suggestion that it can last 30 days
Probably the most informative and well shot video about the Pinter on UA-cam. Thank you. I've requested to join the Facebook group as well. How are you getting on, 2 months on after your first brew? I started my IPA brew on Boxing Day. Hoping to give it the full amount of conditioning time.
OK so this an extract brewing with no boil and no temperature control. Well to be honest any experienced brewer armed with as much as a bucket 🪣 can achieve the same results.
Nothing but problems from mine. Constant leaking from the tap and I’ve got four packs left to use with no replacement tap delivered, I would avoid this product to be honest
@@MusingOfaMan was told I’d receive an updated tap in December that never arrived. All the packs I purchased have gone out of date since. Good concept but terrible quality control
@@patbloodypaddles7952 I'd reach back out to them. I know from updates that they've had a really difficult time with suppliers etc, but I reached out to them just a couple of days back and it would seem they seem back on track. Drop them a message on the live chat, you've nothing to lose.

If you like this you’ll love a keezer full of cornie kegs!
Big stock pot, big muslin grain bag some grain and a plastic bucket and you can brew almost anything.
reckon you could have the same thing in a fermzilla all rounder with all the pressure fermentation stuff , and a picnic tap for a lil cheaper. and then buy local hbs fresh wort kits.
I put a beer on last week with exactly this setup, though I have a cheap 2 roller grain mill as well.
My setup too, but also with a grain mill. Though I respect these product which makes it easier for those that might not be into it to make some "homebrew". Might also be a gateway drug for many to get into homebrew.
For me it's a no starter, I will stick with all grain and the odd beer kit!! £1.50 a pint hahahahahaha

Having home brewed for over 10years, graduating from bottling to corny kegs, I can honestly say this looks amazing.., and what a great video as well sir. Your family all should receive payment from the company, as they sold the product.
Really appreciate you taking the time. So thanks for that. As the family, keep it down will you? They'll start sending me invoices. 😂
I stumbled on your review today, it was really good and funny. I'm going to go through your other videos, brilliant video mate 10/10
Ah, thanks for you kind words and thanks for taking the time. 🙏🏻👍🏻
No time to be making from scratch but love fresh beer, one on order
Agreed. Nicely done. 👍🏻
it is extract brewing in a fancy package

Thanx for this great video. Was toying with the idea of buying the Pinter and this has swayed me in a good way lol
"it's like bud" haha. What a great thing to have captured on camera
Looks like a great thing to have and fun to do. Think I'll stick with my perfect draft for now though but the pinter is definitely on my radar.
Just bought one - really excited and already planning a 2nd...
Hoppy and happy.

There's a link in the description for prices. No prices were mentioned as these always subject to change.
I can't understand why it's £15.00 for 10 pints!?!

How do you make it look so easy lifting the Pinter back off the dock? Losing the will to live and I'm only at the purifying stage.
"Four days later and I wanted some IPA." So you had 2 pints and then it was empty. Lol.
Hello. Good video thank you. I've been to the website and it doesn't give an option to purchase from the United States. Is there somewhere else I could possibly order this from?
Can you do a review on a cider and the stout please?
Are you still using this? My fridge is small ATM until we get a new kitchen, can this be cooled elsewhere? I have an under the stairs cupboard that is always cold. Thanks
Yeah, still using and still loving it. As for conditioning outside of the fridge, I guess temperature wise, you could. It would have to be on low single figures and consistently that low to be able to condition effectively and not spoil the brew I think.
As someone from the South West I think it's almost offensive not to don our accent when saying CIDERR :D

Looks good, I wonder if there is anyway the machine can pasteurize the beer as well?
Pasteurise😂
does the beer stay cold enough once you take it out of the fridge?
Yeah absolutely. We've had it our for like 4-5 hours (maybe even a little longer) and it's still cold when pouring.
Do you turn the dial back to carbonated each time you put it back in the fridge ?

Hey, thanks for your comments. Check the link in the description. Not sure if the prices have changed and the Pinter packs vary in price. 👍🏻
How many pints does the thing give you after 1 brew?
One press gives 10 pints.

Personally, I had it out of the fridge for 2-3 hours at a time and I didn't notice any change in temp. Hope that helps.
Cider going in for conditioning today! So after that - do I keep the carbonation dial in the Off position?
Everything currently set to Carbonation unless you're pouring.

Could you stick it back in the fridge to keep it cold. Or just store and pour direct from the fridge.
Yes absolutely, we just emptied it before I had the chance. As for pouring from the fridge, that's definitely possible if your fridge is deep enough but you still need to be able to reach the back of the unit to turn the carbonation dial between pourings. I just find it easier to take out and leave to settle. It keeps the cool temperature for a good few hours.
@@MusingOfaMan thanks
We've had a problem with ours in that both the brews we've done have been tasty, but quite flat with no head, any idea why that would be?
I'm not too sure to be honest. Best reach out to The Greater Good on their web chat. I've found them really helpful. Hope you get it sorted.
Nice review dewd, I really enjoyed it.
Great vid. Just wish you'd reviewed the Pilsner! Everyone is reviewing the IPA or APA! Buying one for my dad for Christmas, then if I like it as much as I think I will, getting one for myself.
Mines coming this afternoon!!!!
Get in! Enjoy, take your time and have fun with it. Don't over complicate it and you'll be fine.
Brew on!!! What a fantastic product it was like unpacking a fancy new phone! So simple now i have to wait a week to taste the results 😫
@@roreos5457 😂😂😂 which have you got on?
Public house IPA, stars & stripes is next up!
@@roreos5457 👌🏻😁
compared to say a craft beer labels like verdant/siren/deya where is this on the scale? I am on for this but dont know the taste
Can't really help there, I'm sorry. If you join the group in the link above, I'm pretty certain someone in the group definitely now. 👍🏻
Excluding the initial cost of the kit, how much does each pint work out at?
Depending on the press, typically £1.20-£1.40 per pint.
Been toying with this for a while now and bought based on your vid / insight. Tracked down your name to make sure you got the referral! Many thanks.
Ha! So glad you commented. We got the email and couldn't figure out who had placed an order. Thanks for that. Happy brewing. 😁 👍🏻 🍻
Thanks for the video. You have answered my question about taking out of the fridge an hour before use and refrigerating after each use . Does it have to be drunk within 7 days or is it it just best drunk within 7 days as in the FAQ there is a suggestion that it can last 30 days
This is a great review.
@Musing Of A Man how did your pilsner turn out? I’m brewing that now
Turned out well to be fair. If go for longer conditioning times with any lager but yeah, it was lovely and a firm fave in the groups.
Probably the most informative and well shot video about the Pinter on UA-cam. Thank you. I've requested to join the Facebook group as well. How are you getting on, 2 months on after your first brew? I started my IPA brew on Boxing Day. Hoping to give it the full amount of conditioning time.
Thank you. Looking to do an update very soon but spoiler alert, still love it. 👍🏻
OK so this an extract brewing with no boil and no temperature control. Well to be honest any experienced brewer armed with as much as a bucket 🪣 can achieve the same results.
Very informative. I am gonna buy this based on your video! You should get commission!
Ah, thank you. That's lovely of you to say. Maybe let them know when you order? 🤷🏻♂️😁👍🏻
Nothing but problems from mine. Constant leaking from the tap and I’ve got four packs left to use with no replacement tap delivered, I would avoid this product to be honest
Have you contacted the Greater Good? They've been extremely helpful to everyone I've spoken to.
@@MusingOfaMan was told I’d receive an updated tap in December that never arrived. All the packs I purchased have gone out of date since. Good concept but terrible quality control
@@patbloodypaddles7952 I'd reach back out to them. I know from updates that they've had a really difficult time with suppliers etc, but I reached out to them just a couple of days back and it would seem they seem back on track. Drop them a message on the live chat, you've nothing to lose.
wanty mcwant want - not sure how this will fit under the 'I should drink less' idea , but.....
