Thanks Calder. You are correct the seal is not air tight. I may have gotten a bug in it. It surprised me how cidery it smelled compared to the first kit I brewed. This was just my second one.
I am going to try an IPA next. I would love to upgrade from Mr. Beer fermenting to some better...
I got waaay to busy and left a Mr. Beer Cowboy lager I got in my kit in the fermenter for at least 7 weeks. Maybe 8.
I brewed it per instructions in the kit but I did add 1/4 cup of honey to the malt when I added the booster.
It kind of still has a cider smell. Has had that since...
