Hey all! Just did my first 5 gal extract batches! Been using MR B stuff for a year, and now all I do is apfelwein in the little kegs. Just spen about 300 bucks at Williams Brewing and I have their German Ale(OG 1.057) on the right, and a Belgian Trippel(OG 1.075) on the left. Im thankful to MR...

Weekends, an 18 pack a day. 6-8 after work.

Very cool. Guess I will be able to start three beers now! 2 6.5 plastic fermenters and one 6.5 glass... Oh good lord im hooked...

Hey guys, I have been brewing in MR B kegs for a year now and just spent 300 bucks on new stuff at Williams Brewing. 6.5 gallon fermenters, priming buckets, glass carboy, etc... I really want to watch fermentation start off in my 6.5 glass carboy, but have been reading ALOT on primary brewing...

I had the same issue with that batch. 2.5 wks fermenting, 2.5 weeks warm conditioning. I tried one, and it was as you describe. 2 weeks more of warm conditioning made a huge difference. It was still a little light on mouth feel, but def. better.

Thanks bpgreen!

That stuff is FOUL.

I did take the OG after adding the wort into the water that I put in the keg. OVL? Boil time was 50 minutes total. Yes, I boiled the cascades with 25 minutes to go, and perles at 10 min to go. I did boil the HME, but hey, thats how you learn by making mistakes right? :o PS: Will extra time...

What style is this beer going to end up as? A brown ale?

I had a couple leftover mrb ingredients that i wanted to use up before I can get really cooking. Here is what I did.... 1 can HME Vienna lager 1 can UME Mellow Amber 1 lb amber DME 1/4 oz. cascade pellet @ 25 min. 1/4 oz. perle pellet @ 10 min. 50 min. boil time 5.5 oz...

NICE! Thanks man, I think I'm well on my way!!! I love the calculator over at tasty brew.com. I tried to copy and paste the results of this beer, but didn't work. IBU's 16 ABV 5.3 FG 1.017 Thats what I remember before I closed it.

Ok, thanks. WOW! I just looked at my beer I brewed yeasterday, and I have never seen such activity from MRB stuff!!! What a difference yeast makes! I'm afraid this one may boil over! I had been reading that alot of guys pitch high amounts of yeast in their batches. So I used 2/3 of the 11...

So for the more advanced guys, am I going to be good using 2.5 gallons of water, 3.3 lb of LME or 3 lb of DME as a baseline for my MRB kegs? I would just like to try different styles of yeasts, extracts and hops. I think this is a good way to transition myself into 5 gallon "true" extract...

Yes. Put in place one pound of DME or LME in place of the booster, boil as normal with the the MRB extract. Same water amounts as per MRB. I think the replacement of booster with the pound of dme or lme will satisfy your taste buds in the end! I am currently trying a batch of wheat beer...

1.0 pound of DME(dry malt extract), or 1.1 pounds of LME(liquid malt extract) equal the same for a recipe. LHBS equals local home brewing shop. Sorry, for the abreviations. I was confused for quite a while before I found out what they meant. Seems 1 pound of DME(comes in powder form)...

Try using a pound of any DME or 1.1 pound of LME from a LHBS in lieu of the booster. I got tired of dry, light beers from the booster pouches.

Well.... A few changes to the simple wheat i'm trying. I screwed up and burned 1 lb of the wheat extract(liquid). So I restarted with fresh water, the remaining 2 lbs of LME wheat and added 1 lb. of amber DME and is now boiling away with the 1/4 oz of Hallertau hops in a muslin sack. I plan the...

I like you. We should be friends! Done!:mug: Thanks Justin! I am getting ready to start your simple wheat recipe right now! I'm excited cuz it's my first "Real ingredient" batch, no MRB stuff.
