Thanks for the info. I just ordered a Pinter for my son. There was an insane deal thru the AHA: $49, with free shipping and two free beer kits. They automatically signed me u p for a subscription to two kits per month, but I cancelled that because I knew there had to be a better way. Filtering the wort is a great tip. I think I'll tell him to filter before chilling to avoid sanitation issues.
Really interesting - from what you said you ordered the recipe yourself and didn't use a grain kit? How did you scale the recipe for the pinter? I'm just learning but would really like to be able to take one of the brew recipe databases - say brewfather - and have it auto-scale the recipes to order on the malt miller. Is it as simple as taking a 40 pint recipe, dividing everything by 4, and using 9 litres water, aiming for around 1 litre left at the bottom of the pan at the end, and around 5.5litres of wort in the pinter?
@@MatthewDurkin Hello! I have fallen slightly short on wort when using 9L of water a couple of times, so will probably try 9.5 or even 10L of water with my next all-grain brew. As far as scaling for the Pinter, I have found that taking a 20L recipe, dividing everything by 4 to give a 5 litre kit, THEN, add 15% to everything to make a 10 pint kit ready for Pinter. Hope this helps 🍻
@@PinterBeerChef that's great thanks. I was just playing around on brewfather and worked out how to do it there as well. Very useful to know about the water volume - I guess quite a lot is lost during the boil. I noticed that it's also much better value to make up kits this way than but then ready made, so once I've had a go with a few kits I'm keen to give this a go. Thanks for your help and great videos 👍
@@PinterBeerChef I normally do 19L all-grain batches, but I picked up a cheap 2nd hand Pinter 2 and a few MJ kits to check them out. Loving the videos 👍
@OysterBoysBrewingCo Thanks. The MJ kits look decent, so I’m looking forward to trying them out. The George’s 5L kits are worth a try too. Have you considered trying any of the Pinter range of beers?
@@alanradcliffe1 You’re right! I am trying to keep my videos shorter and to the point, but seem to struggle with it and fear I’ll miss out vital information. But it’s definitely something I’m aware of and need to work on 👍
Thank you for getting back to me, I'm pleased they you realise the constructive criticism, I think the information which you give is really good but too long to keep people from bailing out early or skipping through, please keep up the good work, I have had some good information from you, Cheers 😊
@@nightraver56 It’s very common to have a washing machine in the kitchen over here. Definitely better to have a separate room if you can afford it. House prices are crazy high. To buy a property with a separate washing/ laundry room over here, you’d need a considerable amount of money.
I almost took a brewing class in college. Glad I didn’t, this video saved me thousands 😂 it’s like brewing a pot of tea but with grains instead
@@TheRealOfficialGator Very true, it is a bit like making tea 😄

@@BobZed Glad it was helpful. Yes, that was a great deal 🍻
Great video cheers. Look forward to seeing the results
Results are in, see latest video 🍻
can you please give me some idea were you got the fuel with filter from please or link
@@DaveLee-x7x Hi Dave, something like this will do the trick: amzn.eu/d/3ddBVlf

@@MatthewDurkin I’m glad you noticed that. Putting through your own recipes is often up to 40% cheaper than buying the equivalent pre-made kits! 😎
Have you tried the Mangrove Jacks 10 pint kits yet?
@@OysterBoysBrewingCo I have one sitting on my side waiting for action 👍

Why do you have a washing machine in your kitchen did you need a 2nd washing machine or brits don't have washing machine rooms?
