ALL-GRAIN PINTER HACK | THE MALT MILLER HOME BREWING CHANNEL

- We're obsessed with pressure fermentation for all our home brew beer here at The Malt Miller, the benefits it can have on our finished beers is astounding. But until now it's something that really has been limited to bigger batch brewers, as most of the pressure fermenters available are for 20l+ batch sizes. Well until we had a bright idea involving a Pinter....
In this video we see if we can brew all-grain beer from one of our small scale "Kitchen Brewer" range and then ferment, carbonate and serve it from a Pinter!

Love your videos, guys. I always look forward to my Sunday morning viewing watching you guys with my morning coffee. This is another great way to get potential new brewers into the hobby and get a few of those old pinters back out of people’s cupboards and stop gathering dust or going in the bin. Nice one!
Thanks! So pleased you’re enjoying the channel! Exactly why we were inspired to brew with this! How many might be gathering dust out there or folks that want to take the next step but think they might need loads of additional equipment?? We really have been amazed at how well it worked!
Got a friend with two being unused currently... He'll be getting a call shortly
I've been using my printer with whole grain brewing for approx two years. It works. I have used a hopper and added a pressure post and on another hopper, a pressure gauge. I've bought hop oils and added them to used hoppers and sealed with Nespresso foils for fooling refills. What I will say is it needs to condition longer than extract kits.
Agree with the comments that this is a fantastic idea and allows a cheap way into spunding and pressure fermenting. The other thing (I don't think has been mentioned) is that with a standard 21L ish batch if you put 5L into the pinter that allows the rest to go in a corny to ferment.
Nearly finished using a 10 pint mangrove jacks hazy ipa in one. It brewed so quickly compared to the pinter kits. I can't wait to try the result
Hi, when did add the hops with this brew ?
@@jdg28gau when SG was around 1.020. I undocked it and put the hops in the dock
I've been using these for AG batches for a while now, including Rocky Road. They're great for brewing lower-hopped beers, but I usually transfer to a keg for dry-hopping.
You can convert an old hopper bottle into a CO₂ injector with a drill, tap washer, and a gas post. It would be great if they made a larger pro version with a CO₂ port.
Also, cold crashing for a few days before removing the dock helps a lot.
Great tips! Thanks 🙏🏻
I have been all grain brewing 23 l batches for many years now, so when i saw this video i didnt think it would interest me. Boy was i wrong! A nice little 5l batch that can be an extract kit or all grain, fermented in an oxygen free vessel and served from the fridge! I now have to buy a Pinter. Damn you!
Sorry! 🤣
If you have the capacity, then I'd recommend brewing a 28 litre batch, and then maybe fermenting 5 litres in the pinter?
I have been re using supermarket kegs in the same way, brew a 28l batch, ferment it all in one fermenter, and then put 19l in a keg and 5l in a mini keg with priming sugar
Oooo even better idea!!!
Very very interesting.
If this works it may transform my old Pinter1 from an expensive and rather disappointing toy to something useful ... I think you are right to ensure chlorine / choramine removal from the water. You didn't mention chilling the Pinter down at the end of fermentation - it does encourage trub precipitation into the dock. Also, you do need to keep the Pinter in the fridge at serving temperature and avoiding movement as far as possible. Look forward to some more Pinter based experiments, especially the faux lagers.
We’ve used the current generation of Pinter here but as long as yours doesn’t leak or loose pressure then it would most certainly work!
Will this work with the Pinter1 though? I'd be really interested if anyone is successful brewing anything with the first generation of the Pinter. Personally, I was extremely disappointed with all of the brews I made with the Pinter1. I had bought two and a few months later they brought out a "better" version. Needless to say as I wasn't happy I decided to cancel my subscription. So if anyone is experimenting with the Pinter1, please publish your results as I'm about to bin my Pinter1(s). Cheers.
@@donmac5926 As far as I can see, the process would not be different with the early Pinters ...
It would be very interesting doing a 23l grain brew and splitting it into 4 with each one using a different hop/yeast. Then a taste test with the reason for your choice.
I've got 5 pinters sitting dormant since I switched to 23l brewing, these kitchen brews look like I need to dust them off 👌🍻👍
Or split your 23l batches across all
5? Could make for some very interesting test brews. Same wort but trial different yeast or hops!
Wouldn't waste your time. Your opinion was right the first time round 😂
I have a Pinter and that is the one thing that put me off...Premade wort and would love to try grain brewing combined with the Pinter. What model of kettle was used on the video pls?
Please provide more videos using both systems. Really enjoyed this and would love a Stout brew demo!
Here you go www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/12l-3-us-gal-stainless-steel-brew-kettle/ along with a small grain basket www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/tmm-hop-spider-basket/ But you can easily use 2 of these grain bags www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/hop-sock/
If you have a big enough kettle at home, 12 litres is ideal, that and a grain bag is all you need.
Great video chaps. Have done a few AG brews in my out of warranty Pinter 3s. Works really well & allows infinite variety of beer styles.
I use an iSpindel to track fermentation process.
If you need to add more CO2 you can always take a Pinter Hop oil bottle & epoxy a ball lock pressure post to it. Then you can add pressure via the hopper.
Second person to suggest that this morning! We might have to get one of their kits to try this out!
Would be great if you could post some photos of the set up
Found this on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/JvX203QONOk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HCGITEiZ3C-AXSJz
@@martinhudson599 I’ll post a picture on the Pinter Community forum, as don’t think you can as pictures to TH-cam chat.
Great video. Never heard of the Pinter before. Wish they had been available forty years ago when I was regularly home brewing!
Glad you enjoyed the video! 😉
Always thought the pinter looked good for fresh beer at home at a good price, not necessarily for those into home brewing though as there isn't much involved in the process or recipe design. This brings a whole new view to the pinter
My Sunday dose of MMM (Malt Miller Madness!). Great video and as always has set me thinking. Brew a 23 litre batch of my IPL, ferment 18 litres using Lutra (my go to yeast) & 5 litres in the Pinter using High Voltage. More is the shame that there is no gas in post on the pinter...maybe something TMM could look at doing as an experiment?
Martin see my post regards CO2.
Can you add options to the kits listed under the 5l section so the yeast could be changed ???? Love the new range of whc dried and doing 5l test batches sounds well up my street.
We will add this to the list for review and see if it could work. Glad this has inspired you!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
This is super interesting- and like you say, I was thinking this could be fun for test batches. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant video, cheers :)
Thanks for the video. Really good one. Will you have a separate section on the page for pinter recipes? Also with the filter at 6:12 were you able to close the pot lid fully? Looking into more advanced Pinter brdwing for sure. It is a very nice and simple to use system which has potential I think. Thanks
All our 5L Kitchen Brewer kits could be used in this way. As for the lid, it will sit on top of the filter basket but not shut fully with this kettle
If using the mangrove jacks hazy ipa 5ltr kit when would you add the hops ?
Add them when you add the yeast buddy. You can’t open the Pinter once you’ve added the yeast… it’ll be messy and you’ll loose all the carbonation from the beer
I'll assume you lost some of your 5L batch when you undocked the Pinter? Did you increase the original wort volume to account for it or just accept it as a brewhouse inefficiency?
You would still lose some volume in a brewing bucket from trub/yeast. The dock doesn't actually hold that much liquid.
No but that's a good point, we did notice we could have fitted more into the Pinter and next time we will try to increase the brew length slightly to maximise the yield
No doubt you'll be stocking the Pinter and TMM Real Pinter kits ready for Christmas??
No plans to stock PINTERS but, we already stock a range of 5l all grain kits, have done for ages. www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product-category/ingredients/recipes/all-grain-recipes/kitchen-brewer-5-litre-recipe-kits/ These can be made in a saucepan if you have one big enough. The items we used were www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/12l-3-us-gal-stainless-steel-brew-kettle/ along with a small grain basket www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/tmm-hop-spider-basket/ But you can easily use 2 of these grain bags www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/hop-sock/
@@themaltmiller8438 Any chance of making these into 6l kits as the Pinter holds around 6.5l?
Been using my Pinter 3 like this for a while. Only issue is no way to dry hop.
The method we used for this batch worked really well but if you wanted a bigger hop character then try adding 5g of Spectrum at the start of fermentation. It bio-transforms really well and gives loads of juicy character when added at the start of fermentation
Greeting from Mumbai. Great video. Exactly what I've been wondering since i saw the latest version of the pinter -- can i sub their recipes for my own AG! Btw, ive been a happy customer of your stovetop 5L kits, including the Rocky Road and the Best Bitter.... I have the Twany Brown Ale coming up next. fantastic, both.
5L is my sweet spot and the Pinter, it seems, is a good solution to oxidation problem common at homebrew level with style like Rocky Road.
Well done and thanks for this video.
One quick question: how well does the serving pressure hold up as you approach the end of the batch?
We will let you know! I think it will dwindle but should be enough to serve most of the keg. You can then open the valve and allow some air in to serve the last few pints
Also, noticed you used a smaller basket in the 12 ltr kettle. Is it listed on your website? I'm aware of the bigger clawhammer style basket you have on there.
@@ravilshirodkar1901 here you go www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/tmm-hop-spider-basket/
Very nice. Thank you.
Do you reckon this would work with big stouts, imperials, etc?
I can't think of a reason it wouldn't. Being able to remove the trub means it can ages, for ages!
Interesting! I usually brew 23L batches but that is hard work and time consuming. It would be good to do some small batches with one of these. What was the vessel you used for the mash? Looked like a 12L vessel with grain basket? Can't see it on your web site.
Here you go! www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/12l-3-us-gal-stainless-steel-brew-kettle/
@@themaltmiller8438 Thanks! What was the grain basket you used inside it? Do you sell that?
@@philzvids3577 www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/tmm-hop-spider-basket/
Was there a conditioning phase? In a fridge
We conditioned for 3 days cold in the fridge room here at TMMHQ
Dented mini?? You're going to have to tell that story, someone's not a happy bunny...
🤔🥶
I’ve just ordered a Pinter, I have a G30, so I’m going to put 5Litres of wort into the Pinter with some dry hops and put the rest into my current fermenter. My current setup doesn’t do closed transfers so I’m really interested to see how the Pinter fairs..
Let us know!
Lots of work for only one night of beer
For some, yes. Others that don’t have the space for full 20l+ batches or that want to make use of a Pinter they already have, it’s a great way to dabble with all-grain
