My wife bought a Pinter home brew system for my birthday. It arrived today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started following the instructions online and quickly realised I’d screwed up. I used water from a jug that hadn’t been washed out after using it for measuring carpet cleaner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I got the purifier out of the other pack and used that instead. Now I have a pack without purifier so I’m going to have to look for some… more on this further down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of the process was easy, and the online instructions clear and shown as a series of videos. It’s now resting in a cupboard for the next 4 days (I may leave it a day longer as it’s stated to improve the flavour).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So then I went searching for a replacement for the purifier. It’s shown on the pack as sodium percarbonate so I went searching, discovered something and realised something else!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discovery:<\/strong> sodium percarbonate is oxy cleaner! It’s the exact same chemical! We have plenty of that here so replacement solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Realisation:<\/strong> the purifier was all discarded, there was no need to waste the first pack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyway, more on this next week after brewing and conditioning \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My wife bought a Pinter home brew system for my birthday.
