Well, that's the last time I listen to that guy at the LHBS. He's given some other advice that doesn't seem right. I told him that I have 2 Mr. Beer fermenters and asked if I could buy a kit and divide the yeast in half between the two - He said "No" and that I need to buy another yeast...

:confused: I got the recipe from here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/extract-only-stout-191351/ It's a Simple Stout by Justibone. I used Mr. Beer fermenter. 3 lbs of Dark DME 1lbs of Dark Brown Sugar .5oz of Hallertauer 1 packet (11g) of Nottingham My LHBS doesn't carry...

I think you'll be ok. You don't to get the grains above 170*. I'm just wondering why you used two pots. E

Keep us posted if you find a good recipe. I would like to brew a Modelo clone too. E

Looks yummy.... Get that second batch going... :mug: E

Thanks for the reply. It looks easy enough for me. I think I'm going to try it in a couple of weeks. I will definitely look at you Simple Wheat recipe. THANKS, E

I finished the last 1 liter bottle last week and it was pretty decent. It was a little to carbonated though. I will always remember turning around and seeing my son's finger inside the spigot. ;) E

I want to move away from the Mr. Beer kits and am ready to try something simple. I have two questions: 1) How would I get it less hoppy? 2) What was the final boil volume? Mr. Beer is about 2.1gl to the top line. Anything above that looks like it might come out of the top. Thanks, E

Thanks guys. It looks easy enough. But, my wife just started complaining about the Mr. Beer I put in the fridge to cold crash. hmmmm. It's been in there a week. Maybe I'll just stick with using Mr. Beer's plastic bottles. E

Cool... Do you have a link to the website? I would love to bottle my beer like, and pop it in the fridge. Thanks E

I'm not if any made this suggestion to you yet - replace the dextrose with 1lbs of LME. Pale ale should be good. Boil it for 15 minutes then continue with the rest of the directions. You'll end up with better beer. E

I laughed at that. I think you can do it. You have to break it down into more manageable sizes. Let's see... That's about 2 case for 2 weeks. That means a case a week. That still seems like a lot. Let's say that you drink a 6 pack on Friday and a 6 pack on Saturday, that leaves 12 beers...

That's kind of weird to me because I really don't like the smell of it and the wife doesn't mind it.. The last 3, and first 3 times, I constantly asked her if the house stunk... She said, "No.." Well... She's a keeper..... because she did bore two kids for me.. :D E

Well... Maybe I'm against the grain.... But I wish I would have known how easy it is to pop a few beers into the fridge on Monday in anticipation of the weekend. It's sooooo much more rewarding chilling my own beer than driving to the store and paying $10 to $15 for a 12 pack. I wish I would...

Thanks for the info. It's definitely fascinating. Symbiosis has always sparked my brain in some way, shape, or form. It's just like genetic twins, they can live in the same environment and behave very differently or the similar. Or, they could have grown up a million miles away from...

Help me understand this. I brewed my 3rd batch of Mr. Beer last Wed. 1st Batch - Mr. Beer Irish Stout with 1lbs of Pale LME instead of their booster. 2nd Batch - Mr. Beer Octoberfest - Vienna Lager - with 1lbs of Pale LMS plus 1 packet of their booster. 3rd Batch - Mr. Beer High Country -...

ROTF!!!!! That made me day... We'll soon find out..... :cross: E

I hoping to see pics if the destruction. :confused: E

I thought you guys would get a chuckle out of it. It's definitely not worst brewing mistakes made, but after it was all said and done, it was kind of funny. I think I'll wait until my kids are old enough to drink my beer before I put them to work and help me make it.. :p It looks like...

Ok. Before any says "Relax" or "Read the other 'infected' threads" or "Bottle it anyway and see how it comes out," please here my story/situation. As some of you may know, I've been having a tough time not only finding time to brew, but also finding time to learn how to brew non-hopped...
