If you take the recipe to your local homebrew shop they should be able to turn it into a recipe that will work with Mr. Beer. This recipe is for 5 gallons; if I recall Mr. Beer is 2 gallons, so everything would need to be cut by 40%. You'd also need to steep some grains and hops in addition to...

Did you make this yet? If so, how did it go?

After fermentation, flavor changes from temperature can be from accelerating spoilage. If you're going to leave your batch at < 70 for a month or so, then move it to a keg I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you want to keep this around for a couple years, you'll be in trouble.

I get what they're trying to do and I get that it's a play off the old "free as in speech" vs "free as in beer" distinction, but "open source beer" has always kind of irked me because recipes are not copyrightable.

Go with the US-05, from what I hear it's exactly the same as the White Labs California Ale yeast.

I'm interested in this too, I've had a few beers which I can only describe as "creamy" and want to be able to replicate that. I'm not talking about milk stouts either, but an Oktoberfest and an IPA.

Fresh ingredients and good processes are key. SWMBO was complaining about some off flavors in my beer and wanted me to go all grain to make better beer. I didn't spend a lot of time arguing with her that I didn't need more brewing equipment, so I am brewing all grain now. I served her up an IPA...

You can't really change it now, but I don't think you got the OG you got. Brewers Best kits are extract kits, and there's nothing you can really do with them to change the OG. All the sugars are in the extract and you're not going to overshoot by 30% more unless you add 30% more extract. Are...

I've gotten that flavor when I used canned LME, but I can't imagine a brewery is buying LME in 3.3 pound cans.

Try Brandon O's Graff. It's got a little malt to keep things sweet, I've gotten a lot of compliments on it.

Note that the version labeled "FREE" actually costs about $10, which the police patiently explained to me.

Founders Porter - that stuff is amazing. It has a 99 on RateBeer for a good reason Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Arcadia's London Porter

I didn't like it aged, it seemed like the hop aromas and flavors were subdued when I tasted a 9 month old bottle.

I used to get a flavor that I could best describe as "metallic" when I used canned LME. When I switched to fresh bulk LME my beers improved immensely.

It's also available dry as Safale US-05.

I think you're looking for Corny keg, the evolved bottling bucket

I was looking at beers in the fridge and spotted a "mystery beer": no label, nothing remarkable on the cap. It looked like a homebrew but I knew it wasn't because it wasn't one of my caps. So I opened it and poured it, and it turned out to be my last Cup A Joe stout. Delicious!

I had a great time too, thanks to everyone who came out! Thanks for the pics Scooby_Brew!
