Brewfitt Lindr Pygmy 25K Full unboxing, setup & review

[@discostucrazymunkey]

Just bought one, based on this video.

[@BrewfittLtd]

Congratulations! We hope you enjoy it!

[@discostucrazymunkey]

@@BrewfittLtd arrived today, so shiny!

[@johnbhoy28]

Wish I’d seen this before I bought my blade and perfect draft maybe Santa will bring one 😂

[@kogerkoger]

Hi! Around 10:30 when you connect the keg, how come the red switch isn't in horizontal position? I thought if it's vertical it is degassing the keg

[@kogerkoger]

Now I see that at 12:30 it's vertical :| I will go with that then

[@diarmuiddunne8548]

Will this work with any keg, like Guinness or carlsberg ?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hello, thanks for getting in touch. Guinness will need the Ale/Stout kit (available from our website) including a gas feed due to the nature of the product being housed in a steel keg. We would recommend speaking to our technicians to explain this further. Carlsberg would also need a gas feed and regulator if it is in a steel keg. Any product housed in a polykeg however will not need any of this equipment and will simply connect and dispense via the internal compressor.

Hello, I bought the Pygmy 25k , using it with a CO2 bottle, After serving 2 beers perfectly I get a lot a foam, any Idea how can I fix this ?

[@BrewfittLtd]

I would advise you contact us on 01484 340800 and we can advise. Usually this is due to incorrect pressure for the specification of the beer and considerations need to be given to the ambient temperature of the keg. Please call us and we can advise accordingly.

[@markmuldoon3377]

HI there - does the machine need to be switched on constantly to keep the polykeg contents fresh? Also, can you alternate between polykegs without compromising the beer quality? Thanks

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi Mark. The machine doesn't need to be switched on constantly, just as and when you need it. The beer will be chilled by the machine and takes less approx 5 minutes before it's ready. You can alternate between kegs, you would need to drain the lines and the machine if it is a different product though (unless you don't wish to waste a bit of mixed beer!). If you want to run two kegs simultaneously then the 25K Exclusive might be the better machine for you as it has two taps. Please email us at [e-mail] if you have any further questions and our technical team will be happy to help.

[@markyboy4]

@@BrewfittLtd thank you very much for your helpful reply! I am happy to report that I have taken the plunge and ordered a single tap pygmy 25k today, along with a polykeg of Drunken Tailor :)

[@BrewfittLtd]

@@markyboy4 Thank you Mark! We're sure you will really enjoy your machine and please don't hesitate to call or email us if you have any questions. Keep an eye on the channel where we are putting an FAQ video together shortly.

[@stripeyjoe]

@@markyboy4 hi Mark, I’m looking at getting one of these, how are you finding it 1 month on? How good is the cooling if the keg is at room temp? Thanks!

[@markyboy4]

@@stripeyjoe Hi Joe - I'm very happy 1 month on. I have tried various kegs and various couplers and all is working very well. The cooling system is by far better than any other home dispensing system as they can take more than an hour to reach optimum cooling temps. I find a keg at room temp is ready in no more than 5 mins, so I'm never waiting too long to quench a thirst 😆

[@snbtt3354]

Hello, thank you so much for the video, very clear explanations. I have bought the pygmy 25 with a type A coupler for a traditional stainless Steel 30L cask. If i only use half the cask, will the remaining beer loose its flavor due to the air filling the other half of the cask? Many thanks in advance for your advice...🙂

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hello. When beer is exposed to oxygen it only takes a few days until the oxidation process begins to affect the taste. To avoid this we would advise you consider using a gas feed to prolong the life. The machine has an air compressor as well as a gas feed should you prefer. Finally, we would advise you speak to our technical team on 01484 340800 regarding the safe installation of a gas bottle.

[@snbtt3354]

@@BrewfittLtd thank you so much!

[@JUNAutoMechanic]

Hello there , how many beers can you serve continuously chill ? You have to wait between servings ?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hello, the unit can serve 25 litres per hour and you can expect consistent cold temperatures. For domestic use you shouldn't expect to have to wait between servings.

[@alexanderhoffmann9324]

Do you Need Gas or not? Are there 2 Versions and is there a Difference im using Gas or Not?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi Alexander, the 25k can be used with gas (see link below how to connect), however there is also an internal compressor should you wish to not use gas. Gas would be used in conjunction with steel kegs as it prolongs the life of the product. The compressor is best used with polykeg or key keg (a keg with internal bag) as the air squeezes the product through the lines. The compressor air doesn't come into contact with the product which prolongs the shelf life of the product and minimises oxidation. Connecting Gas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKGok4yBmLecoZo

[@James-ui3zd]

If using this set up with no gas on a key keg, would the key keg have to be refrigerated to get the maximum life?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi James, the keg can be kept at an ambient temperature and the unit is designed to serve cold from ambient. By keeping the keg cold it would prolong the life but it is not a requirement for the unit.

[@fester.]

looks spot on,why would i buy one of these instead of a pub cooler,pro's & con's,thanks

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hello, the Lindr unit is ideal for home use, it doesn't require coolant, is plug and play and can be used with or without gas. It's ready to pour in less than 10 minutes and kegs don't need to be pre chilled.

[@fester.]

@@BrewfittLtd just ordered a Lindr Pygmy 25/K Exclusive (2 Tap) Draught Dispenser,been told the front lights up

[@BrewfittLtd]

@@fester. Congratulations on the purchase. The front of the system doesn't have any lighting effects, if you have any documentation to suggest it does we would be happy to look into this for you.

[@fester.]

@@BrewfittLtd received the lindr 25 and yes the front does light up, brilliant piece of kit

[@BrewfittLtd]

@@fester. Hi Fester, apologies, the Exclusive model does light up. We're pleased you're enjoying the system!

[@BigBaldReviews]

Impressive 👍 Can you swap between kegs before they're finished?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi, yes you can. Simply uncouple and attach the new keg. You might wish to clean the line beforehand to avoid mixing the contents of the line with the new keg.

[@BigBaldReviews]

@@BrewfittLtd that's great! Thank you! Might be looking to purchase one for my channel 👍🍺

[@davidcardew857]

Should you release some pressure from the key keg before uncoupling???

[@BrewfittLtd]

@@davidcardew857 Hi David, yes. Curtis demonstrates how to release the pressure within the video.

[@davidcardew857]

@@BrewfittLtd and that is the same if the keg is half full?? The beer in the bag will still be fine?

[@davidcardew857]

Hi i want to put john guest elbows on both lines as they go into the machine just to tidy up the pipe work so they sit flush as other wise they stick out of the back, could you advise what size fittings i need for each line pleaser to go in to the machine

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi David, you need to source a 3/8 John Guest stem elbow. Thank you.

Do you have to pre chill the polly keg ? Cheers

[@dank8489]

Hi Carl, no need to pre chill. Plug and play and chilled beer after 5 minutes. 👍

[@juliusvermeer5857]

Hi, what glass is that? I love the look of it!

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi Julius, it's a Magic Rock glass, if you look them up you can buy them online. We love them!

[@JayMurtUK]

Hi guys, Can you attach different couplers to the pipe provided? Ordered an S coupler but have a keg that requires a D coupler that I’d like to use too. Thanks! :)

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi Jay, yes you can use different pipes as they are a standard 3/8 fitment. Thank you.

[@timothy4]

Will Nukataps fit onto this unit please?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi, we would advise you speak to one of our technical team who can advise you on specific taps. They can be reached on 01484 340800.

[@zeus4513]

is there a suggested length for the beer line?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hello, we always suggest as short a line as possible as the longer the product line the longer the product is exposed to ambient temperatures.

Can you attach a co2 cylinder for better performance ?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi George, yes you can attach CO2 to the lindr unit or just use the internal compressor. We have all of the equipment on our shop to be able to install and operate a CO2 bottle and to attach it to a wall. Call us on 01484 340800 for further information.

Can these poly kegs be refilled as in a home Brew?

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi Paul, the poly kegs cannot be refilled as they are a food grade item.

Connecting up to cider with key keg making a hissing sound not losing any air or discharge of cider just bought a lindr machine yesterday anyone got any thoughts

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi John, I've forwarded this to our technical team and will advise as soon as they respond.

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi John. Response from our team: Please make sure the pressure release valve on the side of the keg coupler is fully closed. It’s there so once you have finished your keg you can release the pressure and recycle the plastic keg. Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

[@eliotmansfield]

Has anyone thought to make adapters for perfect draft kegs - given they use the same principle as a keykeg? I assume blade kegs are the same.

[@robinknipe]

Good question! Especially as that would be great for smaller/home use. There are adaptors like this one: www.tireusesabiere.fr/adaptateur-5-litres-design-metallique-de-haute-qualite-avec-robinet-d-arret-pour-la-biere/a-452065/

[@robinknipe]

In fact I've just dived in and ordered a pygmy and a 5l adaptor, but I've got no idea what to expect! @Brewfitt Limited, any chance you could make a handy video to show this in action!? 😜

[@eliotmansfield]

@@robinknipe that adapter isn’t for a PD barrel because it has a dip tube. Presumably it’s for those mini kegs that you hack to work on a draught setup

[@robinknipe]

Ah yes, PD is pre-pressurised isn't it!?

[@eliotmansfield]

@@robinknipe Yes - the beer is in a foil bag and the container is pressurised with air which forces the product out - exactly the same as a poly/keykeg

[@derekswift969]

Do they do Guinness kegs for this 🤔

[@BrewfittLtd]

Hi Derek, we supply Stout kits for the Lindr unit yes. You can buy it here: www.brewfitt.com/shop/ale-stout-kit-for-lindr-cooler.html You just need to get hold of a keg then which shouldn't be too much trouble.
