if you would like to pass it along my way, I'd be interested. :D .... As long as the temperature didn't get too high, you'll be ok with the extract and booster You should get new yeast though. E

Thanks for the info Tim.. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to start with the Octoberfest and use LME this time. Maybe next time I'll experiment with DME and/or that Crystal stuff all you fancy beer brewers talk about. ;) Time to go the LHBS!!!!!!!!!!! :D E

Jollytim just answered my question in the MB thread.. THANKS.. Now I'm off to the LHBS.. :D E

Oh. LME. As far as style... You got me.. I just got the kits that I listed above. It's like you're speaking a different language to me.. ;) E

Hey, I posted this in the Mr. Beer Thread, but I think all the Mr. Beer posters have taken an early vacation. ;) I'm planning going to the LHBS in the morning and was hoping for some feedback. I just bought a 3 pack of Mr. from Amazon for $29 and was wondering what type of malt...

Hey, I just bought a 3 pack of Mr. from Amazon for $29 and was wondering what type of malt extract should I pair with the kits. Dark? Pale? Light? ?? High Country (Canadian Draft) Whispering Wheat (Weizenbier) Octoberfest (Vienna Lager) I'm planning on using the LME in addition to the...

Ok.. I'm not getting paranoid or freaked out. I just don't know because this is my first batch. I brewed a Mr. Beer's Irish Stout with a can of Pale Malt Extract instead of their booster. It's been in the fermenter for 18 days. This Tuesday will be the 21st day. I don't have a...

Sweet!! Can I come over??? :D From your sig... does it mean that you had it in the primary for 8 day, secondary for 11 days, and bottle for 10 days.. ?? E

Thanks for all the opinions and input. I have definitely read and thought about all of them. As much as it is enticing, I'm not going to jump to 5 gallon brews. It's hard to justify spending $70 to $150 on a kit when we have diapers and formula to buy. LOL.... There's a reason I'm not...

So, it sounds EASY... From what I can tell, the extra step in brewing malt extracts is basically seeping the hops. Right? I'm still going to stick with Mr. Beer's fermenter because I like changing up the beer I drink. I very rarely buy the same beer two times in a row. I couldn't image...

I think..... technically drinking is the addiction and brewing is the the enabler.. :D Thanks for the tip. I've looked around, but I still need to figure this out. Yeah. I'm really stretched for time. (I'm not intending the next couple of sentences to be "woe is me.") I really...

Thanks for the replies. I was able to read them after you guys posted them, I started having computer rpoblems before I could reply. I will definitely check out those books. It's starting to make sense now. After searching around, I realized that there a lot beer kits out there. Like...

Hey, I've had my Mr. Beer for a year or two and am finally getting ready to brew my first batch. I've been reading up. But I'm a bit confused. Let me see if I can type this out to make sense. LME is Liquid Malt Extract. LME are typically used in kits... Right? There are Hopped...

Thanks Tombstone and JusTibone. I'm starting to understamd brewing a little moRe. I just came across the thread "Ignore the Instructions.". I'm definitely going to let the yeast clean up after themselves. ;) Thanks, E

That was FAST.. THANKS!!!!!! That clears up a lot. So the fermetation process will take longer because I'll be using a the malt extract instead of Mr. Beer's booster? Thanks E

Hey, Like most people, I got Mr. Beer as a gift and am ready to brew my first batch. Here's my what's holding me back. I have the St. Patrick's Irish Stout beer mix and I want a little more abv. I stopped by my local brew supply store and he gave me a can of Pale Malt Extract 1.4lbs...
