OClairBrew - Using BOTH the Booster (corn syrup sugar solids) and the DME I have will not cause issues? Is there any change needed regarding the yeast or water amounts etc? I understand swapping the DME for the Booster, but am new at this and not sure about adding it in ADDITION to the Booster...

Sounds good Gil - that is exactly what I was looking for. Sounds like I don't really change the procedure much.. just the ingredient, in this case.

I forgot to mention the yeast. I am going to be switching out the included yeast for a Safbrew WB-06 dry wheat beer yeast. the guy at the HB shop said it would be the right one for it. As for adding the DME, basic Mr. Beer instructions had you adding the booster to a pot of water, bringing it...

I am getting ready to start a new batch, my 2nd, using the Mr. Beer system; but I am changing out some of the ingredients, do I need to alter the brewing process itself? I will be using a "Whispering Wheat" Weizenbier HME but scrapping the packet of 'Booster' and using a Bavarian Wheat DME...

Additional Question(s) I thought of I guess I will be bottling this first batch sometime this week; I am really tempted to start a new batch almost right away in order to keep things cycling, since it takes multiple weeks for the process overall. Any thoughts on whether I should go ahead...

I am a little worried about being able to control the temp and keep it within range... I have the ferment tank in a cooler with a couple of frozen water bottles... I was able to get the cooler chilled down to good range before I did the brew... but once I put the tank in, it seems that it...

Wish me Luck my first ever brew is in to ferment. I know it is just a Mr. Beer easy kit, but guess you have to start somewhere. I am making a batch of the classic American Blonde Ale. Put it up at about 10 PM Eastern time. It should be ready to drink (including some Conditioning time)...

OClairBrew - Thanks for the advice and ideas... I will definately grab a hydrometer, just need to find one, as I have not determined exactly where close by here is the nearest home brewing supply store. As for swapping out the ingredients, I think I will wait to change things until after I do...

This may have been covered in other posts, but here goes... I just bought a Mr. Beer Premium Edition Kit. The kit has the fermenting keg, 8 bottles and the ingredients for your first basic batch, along with a beginner brewing guide. Is there anything else I should go out and buy before I...
