Love the format, but personally I hate tech. I am a self-confessed Luddite. "Smack it with a hammer." That's what I say to that big yellow prison toilet.
Love the new format, works really well. Don't know if there would be enough content for a video but would like to see a review of the Tilt hydrometer. Also, don't know why its bugging me but what were the other two beers? haha
What a series! Nice approach, especially for the non geeks. I think we often forget how much of a niche bunch of beer nerds we are... More of the Brad please!
'My lack of beer knowledge'. Come on, Brad, don't lowball yourself like that! You're the one that keeps Jonny and this channel grounded with your humour and your graphic designs are amazing! You deserved your own series! Really enjoyed this.
As a beer gadget nerd I love the idea of this series, keep 'em coming! Please also do "6 months later" follow-up videos on these! It will help you to produce some additional content, but on the more practical end it is also interesting to see what sticks and what end up being duds after the initial novelty wears of.
Really enjoyed this new feature. Everyone loves a gadget and makes such a lovely change to have Brad running it too. Great idea and already really looking forward to the next one. Yep keep this feature running boys.
Nice one boys! A cool follow up would be to use your (Johnny's) brewing knowledge to get the best from the system (perhaps allowing it to condition longer a little warmer to clean up that diacetyl, or using some US05 yeast instead etc). I think a lot of these kind of things try and make convenience a priority as they're not trying to appeal to brewers, whereas sometimes I'm sure you could get much better results just by making a few minor tweaks to the process.
That reminds me of the AeroPress for making coffee, and all the hacks people developed. Maybe in a few years there will also be a Pinter world championships where you compete to make the best possible beer.
I agree Can U Hack the Pinter, longer ferment and or some Maturex or Alphalase ( an enzyme to prevent diacetyl) it's techy! Condition longer to let it clear, Add some hop extract or different hop extracts to the final pour you'll be pouring a clear Johnny Beater ( given you the name of your brew there). Could have several different flavours all your beer pick the Pinter pick the favourite.
The Pinter is the gateway drug to buying loads of expensive homebrew kit - This time next year you'll have a fermentation fridge and your house will be filled with grain :)
Just "brewed" my 2nd Dark Matter Stout with the Pinter (adding 100g brewing sugar this time). Definitely improved more roasty and coffee. I have a cider next curious to see what that's like.
Love the title and a different point of access into beer! I'm just getting into it so as much as I love the more technical / higher level content that you guys make, some lower-level stuff is welcome.
Brad and Jonny are a dynamic duo. So no disrespect to Jonny... but let's be real, we are all needed more Brad on our screens! Favorite video in a while
Love the Brad content! Excited to see where this playlist goes and the editing was great. Seen this gadget advertised a fair bit but this is the first time I have see it in action and I think I will stick to my all grain homebrewing 👀 Nice work Brad 👌
Haha this is brilliant! I loved this! Great little format and definitely looking forward to the next one you do. Gadgets will always be a short cut but really good fun! You should try out the beer torps and subs to see how fresh they are.
Friend of mine was in the beta team for the Pinter, as a hard core beer geek I was sceptical, but he loves it and he doesn’t have to know much at all. Great entry for anyone to world of PROPER beer
That kit looks fun. I feel like you could upgrade the process a tiny bit to make a better version of beer with the same equipment. What if you did a 20min boil in a pot with the extract? What if you improved the sanitization a bit more? I need these questions answered.
Great video guys! My old man keeps sending me newspaper clips for the Pinter system so I was interested to see what you made of it. I’ll definitely be sticking with the all grain system, but I guess this could appeal to those looking at taking the first step. Looking forward to seeing you both back in the bars/taprooms soon!
I was really curious about Pintr. It's not for me because I like experimenting with homebrew, I can see a big market for the brew-curious and for quickly brewing a small batch for parties.
Great vid! I have a pinter. Not tried the APA, but this doesn't sound too hot. Maybe hard to get hoppy beers brewed in this manner? The pilsner was crazy fresh and did get it to be clear. Can condition for longer than it says too - 15 days for the Pils. Your unit fits together much better than mine, I have lots of trouble attaching the dock so getting that looked at - support has been good.
I think you need to look at it not as a beer geek but as someone with a passing interest in beer - people who will never homebrew, but who might want a beer tap in their fridge. It's not taking away from homebrew, it's giving more people a tap at home. You could almost certainly use it as a secondary fermenter....might take some experimentation to get right though.
Great program. Reminds me of those krups machines that dispense 2 litres of beer. The appeal of that machine is you don't need to stick it in the fridge. But you also don't make the beer. You buy proprietary pre made cartridges that aren't open sourced, so the machine just becomes a sad dusty paperweight. The appeal of pinter is that you have more beer at your disposal. More than twice as much as the krups if my maths is right. But do you have to stick in the fridge whenever you're not using it? Looks like it takes up lots of space.
Been buzzing to try it. Wish I could. Original delivery was 2 months ago. Brewing Dock was so tight it snapped so had to get another one sent out. Still wouldn't fit. Turned out the main unit was faulty so got a new whole unit and brewing Dock which fits together well. Go to use it and one of the beers has leaked inside the box and the other has blown and started fermenting inside the bottle..... not a good start.
Love the video! I’ve got two of these now, there’s loads of hacks and little bits you can do to take the kits to a much higher level. If you’re interested have a look at the Knights of the Pinter Facebook group - most end up extending the brewing (clean up that diacetyl) and conditioning (clear up the haze) time and even adding a cold crash. Hope this adds to people’s view of the product as they’re a great company and have great customer support.
Brilliant concept! You should try one of those Wilko kits. I tried the IPA one last year, made it with medium malt and mixed in some cascade hop pellets and it turned out like an ESB.
Look into the BeerMkr. Join the Facebook group and see the beers people are creating and making. Is a game changer for testing new recipes/taste combinations in a small volume. These can the. be scaled up if you’re a bigger brewer. The lack of a need to sterilise and clean everything separately is a plus for the novice.
Looks very interesting. Way outside of my limited price range though, though it's nice to see it officially supports customising/making your own brews. If Greater Good were a little more flexible with the Pinter's customisation possibilities that'd be nice, as it is (if I can justify buying one) I'd probably make do with the press packs (at least for the warranty period).
Like the format of this! I think this sort of product is great for someone looking to dip their toe into homebrew for the first time. I wonder if it's possible to hack the recipe kits by adding your own hops or yeast, or maybe using the equipment to serve other homebrew from, sorta like a mini cask?
I like the new format. I must confess that as an all-grain brewer I tend to look down on these "Just pour your extracts in and wait for some days" machines a little because it takes so much of the options and fun out of homebrewing. But I do homebrewing for the craft aspect of it. It balances my desk job a little. Not all of us do it for that reason, some people just want fresh beer and have better things to do with their saturdays than crushing malt and sanitizing bottles. That's perfectly okay and it's great that you address these people with your new format. Also I am really curious to see what Brad will dig up and I wish him the best of luck in his task of tricking Johnny into liking "Cheat" beer. Cheers from Germany. And now on to my American Amber Ale brewday ;)
I think those extract packs are a solid idea. The main thing that deters me from homebrewing is the whole cleanup situation. Maybe a third party could make some that a) don't cost $17 each, and b) make good beer.
To be honest I think the issue was the ferment and conditioning time they tell you to give it rather than the packs themselves. Going to trial longer maturation.
Yeah I definitely give my Pinter brews nearly 2 weeks (as they suggest on the back for a "fuller flavour" rather than the headline 1 week on the front).
I'm quite tempted to buy one.The stout looks good.The only issue at the moment is they all seem to top out at about 5%, but I think their website mentions that they are increasing the size of the malt packs to address that issue. If I bought one, would it end up like most kitchen gadgets...sitting, sad lonely and unused on the counter?
I mean for the price the tech is AMAZING. But it's also just shown how many variables there are in brewing and even with these packs they can't control ferment temps and such. So it might end up dusty.
I’ve got one, you’re right the stout is the most impressive I’ve had. But as for being left aside, I’ve used it maybe 6 times in two months. The monthly delivery means you’re anticipating the next one to arrive and they bring out a new recipe each month too. I can see it being part of my set up for a long time now.
On a serious note though, I thought the Pinter was really cool and it has got my interest. I'd like to get one and play around with it, maybe get one of their extracts and provide a different yeast? So many possibilities!
Love the Brad content, would definitely like to see more in this series. One thing you didn't cover (unless I missed it) was the price. Considering the shop-bought beers were better and available immediately, how does the cost per pint compare? What value would a casual beer drinker/brewer see in this option, unless it was considerably cheaper than buying in? Would be interested to know.
Cost comparisons are tricky because craft beer varies so much but excluding the price of the machine itself the packs work out around £1.80-£2 a pint after wastage and such. So could be worth it with the cost of the machine if you use it frequently.
In nearly every single case I have found where reviewers have negative things to say about the Pinter they failed to follow the instructions to the letter. In a number of videos you can watch the reviewer making mistakes as they are preparing their brew. If you really want to give The Pinter a fair shake then follow the instructions...exactly.
Not the first device as such that I've seen in the past few years. I wonder if there's actually a market for it. Most home brewers that I know went from extract to full grain after just one brew.
Yeah there are a lot of products that have come and gone on the market. I think this one isn't aimed at homebrewers but at people who want a little bit of ownership over the process and access to lots of different styles - without actually having to learn to brew.
Homebrewers aren’t after an aggressively filtered taste using chemicals. They want fresh beer with a taste and with the natural materials that accompany that taste.
The Brad, well done sir. All was looking promising until fancy pants jonny comes along with his good palate, strawberries and cream complaints, off flavours BLAH BLAH. Should of told him it was a strawberry milkshake IPA😀 Idea for next week's show, supermarket apple juice, in a bucket in the airing cardboard, ferment for a bit to make cider. See what fancy boy jonny has to say about that little beauty, come on the brad, stirling work😀👍🍺
diacetyl being a sign of fermentation that is not finished, I wonder how the pinter would do with 7 days at room temp instead of 4, giving the yeast more time to clean off flavors
He said "I opened up the valve in the back. It made a big wooshy noise." That wooshy noise is your keg pressure escaping. You kinda need that to pour beer. Also oxygen entering the keg will spoil it
Like him, I have very little knowledge of home brewing. The instructions tell you to open the valve and release the pressure before using the tap. 🤷♂️
Would you rather we lied to you? Also we didn't trash it, we just think the instructions need clarifying as clean beer in 4 days isn't really possible.
I've been following it and seen loads of problems with it and the people who are trying to persist with it seem to be in an abusive relationship that they're hoping gets better. We all feel like we've got to justify purchases but it's painful watching someone else do it. You can buy bottled beer for the same price per pint that you know will be carbonated right, that you don't have to wait for, that won't spoil within days of you opening the first bottle.... and so on. The pinter is a toy. Soon to be hogging under the sink space near you.
What do people think of this new format? And have you got any tech you want Brad to look into?!
Love it
Love the format, but personally I hate tech. I am a self-confessed Luddite. "Smack it with a hammer." That's what I say to that big yellow prison toilet.
Philips perfect draft ?
Love the new format, works really well. Don't know if there would be enough content for a video but would like to see a review of the Tilt hydrometer.
Also, don't know why its bugging me but what were the other two beers? haha
Keep at it :)
What a series! Nice approach, especially for the non geeks. I think we often forget how much of a niche bunch of beer nerds we are... More of the Brad please!
Awesome video. Love the theme, format and that logo is amazing. More of these videos and definitely more Brad!

Amen to that (from Jonny)

Wait until they try the Pinter 3! Was released in March....game changer!! Highly recommend you try and review it!
Nice one boys! A cool follow up would be to use your (Johnny's) brewing knowledge to get the best from the system (perhaps allowing it to condition longer a little warmer to clean up that diacetyl, or using some US05 yeast instead etc).

It's a fantastic pint, merrily drinking my way down it now :-)

Brad and Jonny are a dynamic duo. So no disrespect to Jonny... but let's be real, we are all needed more Brad on our screens! Favorite video in a while
Nicely done! Really enjoyed the premise and the format!
Thanks so much! Glad it came across right!
Solid show, keen to see more of this. I try not to admit this as much as possible Extract brewing was enjoyable, all grain is just 99% cleaning.
Haha ain't that the truth
Love the Brad content! Excited to see where this playlist goes and the editing was great. Seen this gadget advertised a fair bit but this is the first time I have see it in action and I think I will stick to my all grain homebrewing 👀 Nice work Brad 👌
If you brew already, 100% stick to all grain!
The pump handle being slightly off centre is fucking with my OCD badly 😳
Great idea this (the 'low-brow' series), keep 'em coming. Cheers!
Great video, look forward to more of this!
Once again you prove yourself being such a creative channel. Love the concept!
Awesome new content! Definitely 5 crispyboys!
Really great format - would love to see more!
Loved this video and seeing Brad as the “main” presenter! Keep the Low Bräu coming!
Terrific! Really liked the format, it was fun, informative and it's great to see Brad take the reins for a change. 👍👍👍
Great job Brad!
Haha this is brilliant! I loved this! Great little format and definitely looking forward to the next one you do. Gadgets will always be a short cut but really good fun! You should try out the beer torps and subs to see how fresh they are.
Great segment. Keep it up!

Just got mine a few days ago. Can't wait to brew a batch!
Love this! keep it coming
Loved this. Tremendous
I love the SMEG screen behind you. RD is best ever.
Fab vid chaps, really enjoyed that one!
Great stuff
Love this new beer geek format. 6/5 crispy boys
I like your Orange fridge Brad!
That kit looks fun. I feel like you could upgrade the process a tiny bit to make a better version of beer with the same equipment. What if you did a 20min boil in a pot with the extract? What if you improved the sanitization a bit more? I need these questions answered.

Yeah it's definitely for those looking for fresh pints at home rather than the adventure of homebrewing
I was really curious about Pintr. It's not for me because I like experimenting with homebrew, I can see a big market for the brew-curious and for quickly brewing a small batch for parties.
You brewed beer!! Thats how it starts 😎 well done, cheers!
I really enjoyed this.
I like the gadget man beery style of the. See if you can get Richard Ayoade for the next one, that will be awesome.
Great vid! I have a pinter. Not tried the APA, but this doesn't sound too hot. Maybe hard to get hoppy beers brewed in this manner? The pilsner was crazy fresh and did get it to be clear.

Your unit fits together much better than mine, I have lots of trouble attaching the dock so getting that looked at - support has been good.
"Low-Brau"... Nice!
This system takes the joy out of actually producing something yourself. Could it be used to dispense homebrew though?
I think you need to look at it not as a beer geek but as someone with a passing interest in beer - people who will never homebrew, but who might want a beer tap in their fridge. It's not taking away from homebrew, it's giving more people a tap at home.
You could almost certainly use it as a secondary fermenter....might take some experimentation to get right though.
@@TheCraftBeerChannel very true, it would be cool to see some Pinter hacks
Always knew Brad was meant to have his own series. Although we did miss random Brad tangent for at least 5 minutes. haha
Haha plenty of scope to reintroduce those!
Pressure Drop is my favourite brewery of all time and with the overall best beers in the market.
AMEN - we love the beer and the people.
ssshhhh don't say it too loud
Loved the video, reminds me of home brewing with extract on a kit from Wilko! Any idea on how to correct the diacetyl flaw?
Most likely it needed more time at room temp - might fermented a little too cold too. Gonna look into it and do some tests
Great program. Reminds me of those krups machines that dispense 2 litres of beer. The appeal of that machine is you don't need to stick it in the fridge. But you also don't make the beer.

Love the motor oil container for the extract!
Brilliant concept! You should try one of those Wilko kits. I tried the IPA one last year, made it with medium malt and mixed in some cascade hop pellets and it turned out like an ESB.
So what were the ‘supermarket’ beers?
Look into the BeerMkr. Join the Facebook group and see the beers people are creating and making. Is a game changer for testing new recipes/taste combinations in a small volume.

something I learned from this video:
people outside the US count seconds by "mississippi" as well
I’d never heard that before. I thought everyone used elephants.
At first I was wondering if Jonny knew Brad made this video.
Haha that woulda been bold if I didn't! But do the edits so he had to go through me....
On a serious note though, I thought the Pinter was really cool and it has got my interest. I'd like to get one and play around with it, maybe get one of their extracts and provide a different yeast? So many possibilities!
I think the pinter is much better using the longer time on the back of the pinter packs.
I like this idea. More of this please! Out of interest what where the supermarket beers?
We are keeping that under wraps as they weren't indie
its like Mr White and Jessie Pinkman of addictive beer hehe
I've heard many people say to experiment with the brewing / conditioning times, especially with beers.
Mines coming today....
Love the Brad content, would definitely like to see more in this series.
One thing you didn't cover (unless I missed it) was the price. Considering the shop-bought beers were better and available immediately, how does the cost per pint compare? What value would a casual beer drinker/brewer see in this option, unless it was considerably cheaper than buying in? Would be interested to know.
Cost comparisons are tricky because craft beer varies so much but excluding the price of the machine itself the packs work out around £1.80-£2 a pint after wastage and such. So could be worth it with the cost of the machine if you use it frequently.
i have one and you need to double the brewing times and its night and day of a difference
In nearly every single case I have found where reviewers have negative things to say about the Pinter they failed to follow the instructions to the letter. In a number of videos you can watch the reviewer making mistakes as they are preparing their brew. If you really want to give The Pinter a fair shake then follow the instructions...exactly.
Yeah a few more days in "primary" might have helped. That sounds a little rushed to me but nothing against a simple extract brew :)
Absolutely. Gonna try a few more batches and see if we can improve on it!
What were the other two beers as a a matter of interest?
We're keeping that under our hats as one wasn't independent and we don't want to promote it.
Great feature mate. Cool music too, reminds me of The Postal Service. You got a link?
Not the first device as such that I've seen in the past few years. I wonder if there's actually a market for it. Most home brewers that I know went from extract to full grain after just one brew.

2:51 for those who don't know or give a fuck who "Johnny" is and just want to see the unboxing and learn what you came here for.
It was great, hopefully it can reach non beer geeks.
Great stuff. Very funny. What was the favourite beer please?
Five Points Pale Ale! We're keeping the other one under wraps as it's not an independent or ethical brewery, but it was good for the experiment.
Homebrewers aren’t after an aggressively filtered taste using chemicals. They want fresh beer with a taste and with the natural materials that accompany that taste.
The Brad, well done sir. All was looking promising until fancy pants jonny comes along with his good palate, strawberries and cream complaints, off flavours BLAH BLAH. Should of told him it was a strawberry milkshake IPA😀 Idea for next week's show, supermarket apple juice, in a bucket in the airing cardboard, ferment for a bit to make cider. See what fancy boy jonny has to say about that little beauty, come on the brad, stirling work😀👍🍺
hahaha let's do this
diacetyl being a sign of fermentation that is not finished, I wonder how the pinter would do with 7 days at room temp instead of 4, giving the yeast more time to clean off flavors
From what I've seen posted around, it seems to be strongly suggested to leave to condition for longer than the suggested.
Interesting. Can't say you've tempted me to buy it tho lol
Haha well we're not sure people will want to buy any of this tech tbh! To some extent it's a "we did it so you don't have to" thing!
@@TheCraftBeerChannel lol true. U guys ever heard of beer foamers or carbonated growlers? could be interesting ideas for future videos
a fancy Mr.Beer
He said "I opened up the valve in the back. It made a big wooshy noise."
That wooshy noise is your keg pressure escaping. You kinda need that to pour beer. Also oxygen entering the keg will spoil it
Like him, I have very little knowledge of home brewing. The instructions tell you to open the valve and release the pressure before using the tap. 🤷♂️
The name is epic
#brownotbroy
Should have done the test blind. You can tell just from the sediment that the first was the pinter...
You are probably right...though I think you give a little too much credit to supermarket beers! Had some shockers in my time.
Love the video..... strange background music. Not saying i dont like it... its different :)
Cheers! We were going for friendly Kraftwerk vibes
4 days is too short before chilling, let it sit at least a week preferrably longer and it will remove the diacetyl issue
Indeed. But we were following their instructions!
Is it pin-ter or pint-er? 🤔
Definitely pint-er. Not Harold Pinter.
Sorry, Brad is who I meant
Haha I thought so! He's a south London boy.
genius lol
Imagine having someone send you a machine for free to use for content on your channel and then trashing it
Would you rather we lied to you? Also we didn't trash it, we just think the instructions need clarifying as clean beer in 4 days isn't really possible.
What is Johnny"s accent? Some of the British ones get lost on my American ears. I like it though, it's very musical almost.

I've been following it and seen loads of problems with it and the people who are trying to persist with it seem to be in an abusive relationship that they're hoping gets better. We all feel like we've got to justify purchases but it's painful watching someone else do it. You can buy bottled beer for the same price per pint that you know will be carbonated right, that you don't have to wait for, that won't spoil within days of you opening the first bottle.... and so on.
The pinter is a toy. Soon to be hogging under the sink space near you.
I fear this might be true but we're going to have a few more goes and will report back on our socials.
@@TheCraftBeerChannel Oh yeah, you've definitely got to give it a shout. Cheers lads.
What were the two supermarket beers out of general nosiness ?
We prefer not to say - one wasnt independent so dont want to promote them!
@@TheCraftBeerChannel fair enough can’t argue with that

So is this an #ad? Seems pointless if the beer is flawed at the end...
Nah it was a real test, we would flag it very clearly if it was an advert.
Shame you didn't actually follow the instructions!!?? 😂
