21st century home brewing

[Craig the cyclist]

Has anyone used or got one of these? It was on an advert during the tour coverage, they clearly have theior target audience bang on!

I wondered how it comes out before I take the plunge.

10 pints does seem more manageable than the 40 pint crap with 2 tons of sugar we used to make!

Well it would be better than the old kits, but it's an expensive way to make homebrew, and I believe you're restricted to their supplies.

If you just want to dabble I have heard good reports about the beer if you give it time, but it's still really just a more prescriptive way of making kits.

There are lots of all in one systems now to choose from if you want higher quality, and no one says you have to make 40 pints at a go, although if you're kegging (as I do), then making 40 is no harder than making 10.

But only 10 pints. I could slurp that in a single session.

I mentioned it in another thread (here https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/home-brewing-round-2.262123/post-6329162) and the response was lukewarm.

I really like the design and appearance of it, plus I’m not a heavy hitter on beer quantities so it would suit me fine at 10 pints.

I was tempted but it's a bit to lay out on what might be an expensive ornament.

'What happens if you don't like it? ' I thought, so I contacted them and this was the reply.

I emailed Pinter last Sunday about any kind of satisfaction/money back guarantee, and got this back about half an hour ago -

That was my thought too. I will take ages to drink 40 pints, so the 10 pint thing seems like a much nicer quantity.

I may click 'Buy' and feedback how it goes. I have got a student son who will gladly take it off my hands if it doesn't work out I am sure

Me too.🧐

Can you make different types of beer in it and can you determine the ABV? 🤔

At £1.50 a pint, it doesnt seem to be much cheaper than supermarket cans?

Heck yes! I thought home brew was supposed to work out about 40 to 50 pence a pint.🤔 85 quid to make beer you can buy for the same price in supermarkets seems a bit daft...to me.🧐

You are thinking of buying a wig in another thread, wouldn't it be cheaper to grow your own?

And you are how many years old?

Well i'm probably older and I've still got a full head of hair, mind you a mate of mine (Terry 'Tez' Wooten) went full on 'monk' at 19

 

[cheys03]

Not for me. Far too costly, about 3 times the cost of decent all-malt kits which for me personally are the right balance of decent beer vs cost and time. 10-pints supply easily drunk faster than it brews and I’d hate to be tied to one supplier.

 

[Craig the cyclist]

Can you make different types of beer in it

Yes, lager, beer, wheat beer, cider various IPAs

can you determine the ABV?

Yes, by getting different kits. You can't vary the ABV in a tin of shop beer can you? You just buy a different beer
