Anyone here got a Pinter?
I was involved in an early crowd-fund but didn't follow through on buying one due to poor and maybe over-critical reviews on brewing forums.
But, was takiyng to someone last Friday who has 4 gen-3's and he swears by the presses.
Really considering buying one now all the flaws have (apparently) been ironed out.

Yup :-)

The original Pinter worked really well, there was a wee knack to getting a perfect pour though.
Only real downside was the connection between the "dock" (where all the dead yeast etc drops too during brewing) and the Pinter, mine was starting to crack, if it hadn't been for Pinter 2 coming along I'd have been looking for a warranty replacement.

Pinter 2, a really solid unit and they have the Dock connection perfected , only issue now is that they seemed to have taken a step back in the "pour quality " when they upgraded the tap, clearly they realised this and introduced a further upgraded tap!

The above setup looks to have finally got things sorted, I was about to purchase the new tap when Pinter 3 was announced (reluctantly I might add as I felt I was paying to fix a problem they'd created)

As it stands I'm waiting on delivery of a shiny new Pinter 3! :-)

With regards to the actual beers, I've never had a bad one (excepting the foam issues with P2).
Personal favourites are Space Hopper, an IPA style 7% abv or Dark Matter, a very Guinness like stout at 5% abv.

On the kettle watching, for.the Dark Matter its 7 days!
