Pinter kit brew need help please

Hi all
Iv got a Pinter and was wondering if I was to mix muntons tap room lazy days IPA then putting it in the Pinter to brew would this work. This is my 1st time in brewing
Thank you

I've never used a Pinter so far from an expert, but aren't they only a 10 pint capacity, whereas the Muntons kit is for 30 pints? If so, I don't think that is going to work unless you only use a third of the Muntons kit.

I have seen people on the forum use a Pinter to ferment beers not produced from the Pinter packs so I believe it can be done.

For your first attempt though it might be easier to use a Pinter pack so you can learn the ropes? Or have I misunderstood and this is your first time not using a Pinter pack?

That makes sense then. Split across 3 Pinters then it should work.

This is the main thread in which Pinters were discussed, where there was some conversation about using them as a fermenter for other beers: PINTER beer system

if you're having to spend thirty quid on 3 x 10 lt buckets why not simply but a proper one which should take 6 gallons? (Sorry but I'm of an age!). Try the homebrewshop (online) they have some good gear at reasonable prices. I believe they do large FVs for less than a tenner anyway.
