  You do realize that this is a thread about Mr beer, don't you? You're asking about the beer
  machine, which is a different fermenter and uses different ingredients.Extract batches tend not

  Well initial tasting is in on my Black Butte Porter clone(s) using BM. I'm rather disappointed
  with grain and extract attempt and would like some feedback as where it may have gone wrong. My

  You've got a lot going on there, really.A witbier typically has a citrus aroma and taste from
  orange and corriander and you've already added NB hops which are more piney/minty in flavor to

  You could put some Saran wrap over the cap and tie off down the neck a little, like under the
  lip, with a rubber band. If gas is leaking from the caps it should inflate the Saran wrap a

  Well we shall see. Went with the same recipe I had used for my Black Butte clone except

  time would make a d...

  Keep in mind that the Beer Machine is designed for 10 liter (2.64 gallon) batches. The Mr Beer

  Suggestion for Mr. Beer... make the LBK the ideal size for brewing with 3 pound bag of DME.

  keep using the ...

  I think you misunderstood what I wanted to know. I probably confused the issue by asking two
  questions at once, one of which wasn't very important and one of which was important.I'll ask
