What temperature should I Brew at?Updated a month ago

The optimum temperature for brewing is between 18-22°C.

The optimum temperature for conditioning is between 1-4°C.

These are the ideal temperatures - you'll be able to brew successfully with your Pinter without getting these exactly right, but try to get as close as you can for the best results.

It's also important to try and keep these temperatures as consistent as you can.

We understand this isn't always possible depending on the weather, if this is the case then we recommend extending the brewing times to allow the yeast to fully do their job and ferment the beer. 

As for the water temperature, we advise that this is as close to 20°C as possible. If your tap water is too cold, you may experience trouble mixing. You can either allow the water in your Pinter to warm up for around 15 minutes before brewing, or add some warmed (not boiling) tap water to your Pinter before adding your Fresh Press.

We always suggest conditioning in the fridge, as it's the best way to ensure the temperature is kept consistent throughout the conditioning process. 

Conditioning for as long as you can at a constantly cold temperature is a great way to ensure that your brew has a delicious flavour profile and perfect carbonation.
