The Pinter: Brew in a Bag Pale Ale

I'm attempting my first ever all grain brew, which I shall be doing in a bag, in a pot. I will then transfer this brew to my Pinter to ferment and then condition.

I purchased the 4.5L All Grain Beer Brew Kits from Brewstore:

The kit cost £9.98 and came with the malts, hops, yeast and instructions and allows you to make 4.5L (around 8 pints).

The kits are the perfect next step from malt extract kit brewing. It is a recipe in a bag, all weighed out and with simple instructions for you to follow. There are plenty of kits available around the £10 mark.

Not sure if you posted a follow-up video, but interested to hear about your results. I used to do small batch all grain and then bought a Pinter 1 and 2. Tried a bunch of their beers, but none of them have blown me away. Thinking of going back to all grain and using Pinter 2. Great videos by the way. All the best.

Cool use of a Pinter. It should come out well. A few ideas for future brews: If you used tap water then a sprinkle of campden powder gets rid of the chlorine. I also add a pinch of salt. Put lid on saucepan and wrap with a big towel to keep at 66C. You can get cheap iodine kits to do a starch / sugar test after mash. Some brews need 90 mins. You don't need to rehydrate dry yeast, it's a myth, pitch straight to wort. Also I remember a previous ferment under pressure device that suggested using a tiny drop of olive oil in the fermenter as a nutrient. Looking forward to taste test.

Wow! - its been 3 years since I posted below due to being hospitalized/corvid etc - ok now !? - gone and bought the Pinter 3 and two Extract packs - later going to try the Brew in a Bag as you have shown - tried to purchase the grains/kit from the '' Brew Store'' tried to get in touch with them on line - no joy - are they operating under a new name? -
How was your BIAB taste

[alexgoonie]

Nice one, will be trying this soon myself. Hope it comes out good. Got the space hopper brewing atm. 👍🏻

Hi. Cant find the taste review you said you would upload. Would be very interested.

We started our own recipe extract brew with speciality grains last Sunday in a Pinter.
Be interested to see how yours progresses, ours is a German style Wheat Beer.

Very interesting video I've been interested in the BIAB method for some time and now I have the Pinter1 it seem like a good way of trying it out - I hope that this BIAB method will mmm get rid of the Home Brewing tinge that Extract Brewing always tastes to me (Tom Caxton days remembered) - my last Pinter brew was the Weiss Nights wheat beer not bad did drink all of it so can't complain - my new brew put down on Sunday is 'Von Tap' will be interesting if this has the HB tinge cos the wheat beer tends to mask it - I'm getting to like Wheat beers been trying them out at my locals anyway thanks for you presentation efforts much appreciated
Oh! what were your conclusions on your BIAB beer...joe

Interesting video - thank you. I see that Brewstore has a NEIPA kit. I know that NEIPAs are notoriously sensitive to oxidation when you move the brew from vessel to vessel. I would imagine that the Pinter avoids this issue. Have you tried or are you planning to try a NEIPA brew in the bag kit?

Great video again.
It seems a lot of faff for 8 pints.
I’ll be interested to know if you think the extra effort is worth it in comparison to the Pinter fresh press.

Wanted to ask if there are any recipes or other non-Pinter brewing packs you can use with the Pinter? I want to try and brew something in my Pinter other than the packs they offer. Keep up the great work! I am currently conditioning my Public House IPA with added spray malt after watching your vid!
