Hey ebacherville, when you brewed the West Coast Pale Ale was there a lot of activity during the fermentation cycle? We both experienced very little bubbling and no foam on the surface of the liquid and are wondering if that is normal with the Pale Ale.

Yeah my first can of Nut Brown I got with a pack of booster and then I was going to make a batch with the unhopped malt just to compare. I guess when I get home tonight I'll take a little sip. It just seems to my untrained eye that nothing has happened at all. It hasn't even been two full...

I'm not sure but the room temp in my apt is 74-75. I'm just trying to figure out if I should waste more time with this batch or not. Its possible that because its a pale ale it doesn't ferment as vigorously. But you are saying that a taste test at this point should taste like beer just...

Ahhh thank goodness there is another Mr Beer user here. I'm concerned because I have read a lot about the process and Mr Beer seems to be not following all the things I have read. I pitched my yeast Tuesday night at 11:00 PM and when I checked it the next morning the fermenter was completely...

So TUesday night I made my first batch of beer with the Mr Beer kit. It was 24 hours at 11:00 last night (about 9 hours ago) so a total of 33 hours and when I looked at the fermentation vessle this morning it was as calm as can be, no bubbles no foam and all the yeast just sitting on the...

Well I was thinking that 24 would be enough when the MR Beer instructions said that I'd be brewing 24 every two weeks. But I read that for best results you should let your beer sit in the bottle for 10 days to 2 or 3 weeks. I had another question about the bottling proccess as well. I...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I actually decided to go with the Mr Beer system. After doing a lot of reading I determined that the 5 gal system with 2 buckets A) made way more beer than I can drink and B) is more work than I want to get into. I just want to do this as a relaxing hobby, at least...

I am now considering trying the Mr Beer micro brewery as a 5 gal kit would just make more beer than I can drink and because the Mr Beer kit would take up less space in my apartment and I like the fact that you ferment it and then spigot the beer right into the bottles. Anyway, I'm trying to...

Sorry for the double post but I just wanted to add that this http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/equipkit.asp is the starter kit I'm looking at getting. It seems like its pretty complete. Does anybody have any suggestions for a better price or is 50 bucks pretty good?

Yes, I've been looking at 5 gal kits that only cost 10-20 dollars more than what I spent. I think I'm going to get one of these as you are correct, 6 beers is not many. I wish I had done some more research first as I could have spent the money I wasted on glass bottles. At any rate I can...

Hello everyone. The past weekend I was with the wife in Bed Bath and Beyond and saw a little beer brewing kit made by Lakeview Valley Farms. It was only 30 bucks so I thought "what the hell" and took it home. It makes 6 beers per batch in a little plastic square with an air valve on top. I...
