Conditioning

Undocking

When undocking after brewing, if you find a small amount of Fresh Press mix in the Brewing Dock, please do not be alarmed. You will likely still have a success - we recommend carrying on with the process and conditioning.

Why do I need to condition?

Prior to tapping, conditioning is an important step not only for the maturation of your Fresh Beer and certain flavor development, but also to achieve the appropriate pressure and carbonation levels in the Pinter. 

Carbon Dioxide can dissolve into beer more easily at cooler temperatures, so without conditioning you may not reach the ideal level of carbonation.

The perfect temperature

Normal fridge temperature is what you need for conditioning. An optimal temperature range is 34-39F, however, be careful when turning your fridge temperature down - if it gets below freezing you could damage your Pinter!
