Many people have tried them with mixed feedback. Some love the ease, some hate that it's hard to customize the carb level.
Some say they leave a white ring in the bottle, others have no complaints at all.
Their site says 1 drop for 12 oz, and 1 liter = 33 ounces so you don't have an exact amount yous can use.
Brooski44 said:I recieved the premimum gold edition Mr. Beer kit for Christmas, and started my first batch (American Classic) Blonde Ale, on the 29th of December. I did everything in the instructions to the letter, however, when I went to start the bottling process yesterday, I noticed the brew to be very cloudy with particles in it. Is this normal? Should I continue on with the bottling process or scratch the batch, and start over ?
I would not toss it until you taste it in a few weeks.
How long did you ferment it for the instructions say 7 days but from what I have read 14 days is ideal. Also cloudy beer I don't think is a bad thing I think the yeast is still working. But I am no expert yet I have just been reading alot. I would not toss it until you taste it in a few weeks. One thing I did here from a mr.beer podcast was nothing bad can live in the wort because of the alcohol and acid levels (except bad taste). I am sure if I am wrong someone with more experience will chime in and correct me.

Also looked at the bottom of the remaining 7 PET bottles. All had slight buldging on the bottle.
What do you think...time to unscrew then rescrew the caps or just throw them in the refrigerator?
Anyone know what the specific information is for a mr beer setup to enter into the brew target software. For now that's my only rig so I'm looking at how to make recipes that size and I like tool. Hopefully can get it setup so I have lots of recipes to choose from when I move to a larger rig next year.
Has anyone had a yeast cake that smelled like puke? I racked my beer into a bottling bucket and bottled after a 15 day fermentation. I smelled the cake and it was terrible!
I'm going through the same thing after 12days it looks the same like sugar on the bottom and no activity
Maybe not... IMO, this is one of those cases where PET bottles are better than glass.
Someone said up the "Q" is 2.4 gallons. Use a measuring cup (hopefully a large one) and water yourself to be extra sure, though. Also, don't fill to the top unless you are confident you can handle a large kreusen (foam during fermentation).
Justibone & others...
my MrB WCPA batch will come to time to bottle on this upcoming saturday, and with my bucket fermenter already running, the tinkerer in me got to wondering.
can i cut the top of the MrB smooth so the "notches" are gone, and i can get an airtight seal, drill a hole, grommet it, and use an airlock? or at least be able to fit a blowoff tube? it seems this would be easier to contain/clean if i were to have an overvigorous fermentation...
