Trappist just to provide a different perspective, used mine over the break and for a New England IPA worked a treat, lovely brew minimum fuss.just discovered that a friend of mines partner bought him a Pinter 2 for Christmas. It’s already blown its contents out of the back. New Pinter, same old problems. Total shambles of a company.
Hello All
I have the Pinter 1 - modified with a Schrader valve & S30 arrangement to inject CO2 - pressure test and pore the Hop Oil into this Modified Pinter1
My intention is to pore the Hop Oil under pressure on the 4th day of conditioning in the fridge brewing dock having been removed for conditioning does this figure rightly fellow Pinter Brewers...joe
In a nutshell, yes to your question.So, I am trying to get my head around this... Can the Pinter effectively be used in the same way as a fermzilla all-rounder, in that you pour wort, pitch your yeast and then let it ferment under pressure?
Could you then either lager in a secondary or pour straight from the unit?
And am I thinking if you intend on pouring straight from the unit it would be better suited to make beers where the yeast adds flavour in the glass, such as a wheat beer?
With the limitations being capacity and build quality?
Just came across this, best laugh I've had today, thanks!So if you make a lager in it do you need to keep it at 10c for 3 weeks then condition for another 10? Then drink it all in 4 days because that's how long it lasts once tapped.
I've been looking at the videos and forums and the best beers seem to be "Post-Purchase Rationalisation", "Cognitive Dissonance" and "Thank God This Was Free".
Think the price of the Fresh presses will undoubtedly sink in to some once the gimmick has worn off. Gotta say though, what i got out of the other end was phenomenal, tapped a day early too, curiosity got the better of meLots being sold secondhand in the usual places, so can’t be that good?

I had read that on a few reviews (after i had collected it) it did have me thinking i should have it in a barrel or something. The first brew was over carbonated and it didn't pop, so i'm hoping the welding on mine doesn't have a weakness. The first ones were plastic i believe and the welds would buckle under the pressure, pinter 2 i think are powder coated aluminium so fingers crossedLast weekend I was at a party talking about brewing and a couple of guys had the pinta thing.
I have not heard of it before. Both said they were simple to use and sometimes made nice beer. Other times they came home to find the whole lot on their kitchen floors after the unit blew its seals. One of the chap spoke to the company and they send him a replacement which done the same thing first time he used it.
Sounds like its almost there but still needs a bit of work.

I suspect that this is primarily targeted at the ‘mens‘ gift market who will use it once then never again. From the few reviews and comments written by people who have actually used it it does seem to actually produce a decent beer. But the problem is that you can also produce decent enough beer from kits at a fraction of the price, for some the convenience may be worth the premium but not for me at any rate.Lots being sold secondhand in the usual places, so can’t be that good?
I'm lucky she lets me brew in the house as it is (she honestly has a sense of smell that would shame a sniffer dog). I hoping since it didn't leak under load last time that it doesn't have any flawed jointsThese guys has the Pinta 2.
Id just make sure you have it somewhere if it starts leaking it doesnt do any damage. Could you leave it in your bath to be safe?
