    I'll pay my fiver to otib later so that I can upload my photos.

    The cider, on our blind test, trumped Strongbow easily but it isn't Thatcher's Gold which easily trumped the pinter cider.

    I'm really pleased with all my brews so far and so is my Stoke City son who wants to try all the others.....but not paying for it! 

    Good stuff.

    I'm more of a seasonal cider drinker. Summertime only, ales the rest of the time.

    I would prefer to own a larger fridge for the cold conditioning.  Just don't have the space at the mo.

    Really like the sound of it though.

    Yep. I had just one initially (in red obvs) but the co-pinter is in white! I'd have chosen Purple if it was available. 

    The idea is that when you move from brewing to conditioning, you don't need the brewdock. This can be washed and then used with the co-pinter.

    The longer you leave it to condition the better your beer. It becomes more rounded in flavour.

    Let me know when you get one. I've tried a couple of tricks as mentioned on the Owners Facebook Page. Cold-Crashing is when you put the punter plus dock in the fridge but keep it vertical for at least a day. The coldness makes the yeast fall quicker into the brew dock. Once the brew-dock has been detached, put the pinter into the horizontal position. Most owners haven't the luxury of space in their fridge and it's not a necessity. 

    I do like bottling any left over beer from the first night of drinking. The beer can continue to condition in the sanitised Flip-top bottle and tge result after 5 days is amazing. All that's needed is brewers sugar or caster...say half a teaspoon. Then place bottles in fridge for a few hours to kill off the yeast.

    Top tip....Read and watch all the instructions and follow them to the letter. You won't go wrong!

     

    Cheers NI.

    Birthday coming up in July, I'm certainly tempted. Might start dropping a few hints to the Mrs!

  3. I caught the add on TV for it the other day and it caught my eye.

    Have traditional homebrewed a few times during lockdown. Spent about the same on the whole starter kit as it does for one of these. That acutally surprised me, i thought it was going to be £150-200 sort of range.

    Only concern is it appears to only hold 10 pints? They suggest another one alongside it at a reduced price so you always have one one on the go, i guess that's one solution!

  4. Interesting one.

    He's certainly got all the physical attributes for the Prem right now. 

    Still a work in progress though. Would be a shame to see him improve elsewhere and not here but the amount and timing is tempting.

    London lad originally as well isn't he?

  6. Defamation of character?

    'Whatever has gone before me has been negligent. If they were doctors, they should certainly be struck off for what's gone on here before. I could show you the footage of the training sessions. They're a farce. It wasn't done correctly.

    How do I know that? Look at the league table. Look at the fact two managers have been removed from the job.

    Two-and-a-half-hour sessions on a Friday — what chance have the lads got? It's like having a 15-round spar the night before you have a 12-round scrap. What chance have you got? You're going to get your head punched in. 

    It's because they don't know what it's like to go in the ring, the Colosseum. They've read it in a book and they've done it on a course and they don't know. It's criminal.

    Those coaches will probably want to take me to task on that and I'll have absolutely no issue in showing them exactly what they got wrong and where they got it wrong, and they'll be better coaches for it.

    If they want to get on the phone and have a conversation with me, no problem at all."

     

    I'm no legal expert but i would be expecting a call from your solicitor (again), not the previous managers.
