Pinter Review Part 2 - All-Grain Rebrew - Brew Dudes

[@philipdallmayr4729]

I alternate between brewing pinter packs and my own recipes done biab. Fun way to experiment with new flavors. I ferment 2 weeks, cold crash a couple of days and fridge for 2 weeks which does help with conditioning. Nice vid dudes!

Getting my Pinters tomorrow ... Looking forward to playing with them and adding videos to our channel as well. Nicely done, guys!

great vid - thanks for what you do!

My standard advice for people beginning with any of these kinds of "starter" kits/systems is "Keep it cooler than they say for the first couple of days and let it go for two weeks even if they say it will be done in one". With you on providing a counterweight to the process theory trends that seem to dominate many conversations too, although it's odd how hard it is to persuade some people that they really don't have to spend on pressure fermenting vessels, LODO transfer kit, IoT fermentation trackers and so on to get started in brewing and make decent beer.

Sounds delicious dude

I think the fermenters like the fermzilla allow newbies to ferment and transfer more carefully and easily from the get go than say a traditional bucket with spigot. I started with a bucket with a tap and I had more than one bad transfer to keg with it, especially with heavily hopped beers. Using a pressurisable fermenter and transferring under pressure with a filtered floating dip tube I can't recall having any issue other than the dip tube surfacing and getting c02 instead of beer which was resolved with a magnet on the outside of the fermenter. And don't get me started on rotating racking arms, the amount of hop and yeast I got into kegs using those in the past. And you don't have to ferment at 30 or even 15psi, you can ferment fully open and then close down for c02 capture and who doesn't want to capture c02 these days?

Pressure fermentation I'm mostly over, new yeasts make that irrelevant, However what it does do is allow me to add pressure prior to cold crash which prevents suck back / vessel contraction during that phase 😉

Agree on the Pinter is good for new brewers. Disagree on something like the iGulu.

How is the dispensing process with these? Can you drink it up over a few weeks? Are the last pours still carbonated? Cheers!🍻

You should mention, that brewing anything but the "fresh press" in a Pinter, voids the warranty. I know, right? Unless, they changed that rule now?
