looks like adding to each bottle would be just as accurate. on my mr beer kit i just took a measuring spoon for the right amount of sugar for my bottles and took a funnel and put a scoop in each bottle. so far they all been carbed the same that i can tell

i had my first batch of my mrbeer kit in an cooler with ice packs and the lid closed, and everytime i opened the cooler the smell was very strong lol.

just an update, it seemed to hanging around 60 degrees this morning when i woke up, so i took out the ice bottle, and now about 14 hours later the temp is hanging around 64 with bubbling in airlock that started about 4 hours ago, so i'm guessing its not been to cold. :drunk: Just keeping an...

what is the highest temp you can have while conditioning? till winter really hits its been getting up to 80's in my house during the day and then cooling down to low 70's at night.

whats the lowest ferment temp for muntons active brewing yeast that came with my true brew kit?

yea i stirred it pretty good several times while trying to get the temp up before pitching the yeast. so thats good to hear. Doing good with the temp on it so far, got it put in a cooler with water and a frozer 2 liter right now. The temp seems to be hanging around 64 on the stick on...

aight i jumped into my first 5 gallon batch tonight. everything seemed fine till the end. how long can wait to add the yeast till infecting the beer? i had to wait about 2 hours cuz when i cooled it then added my water it was 58 degrees. i finally got it back up to 60 and added the yeast. i...

c-brite came with my kit, and i was wondering if this stuff is reuseable for several months like star san? or do i need to just throw it out after i'm done brewing?

okay, i bought a baster to use for that. So just taking the lid off to look inside does not hurt? or is this something you don't wanna do except to get a sample? I'm just going by my mrbeer kit that said to never open the lid on it, so thats why i'm confused on the topic with my new bigger kit

i'm new myself, and getting rdy to make my first 5 gallon batch. I see everybody saying to take hydrometer samples, but i don't understand how you get the samples without taking the lid off and contaminating the beer?

i'm confused. c-brite came with my kit, but mine says to let air dry. maybe thats why your beer tasted nasty since you rinsed it off when using c-brite since it is a no rinse sanitizer.

now i'm very new, but i thought i would write what my mrbeer kit manual says about medicinal flavor (band-aids, burnt plastic, or chloriseptic flavors) are formed by proteins in the malt and hops, combining with left over chlorine in the brewing water. this chlorine can be found when brewing...

alright, thats what i thought. what are some brands of commercial beers that don't use twist off bottles? also i know your not suppose to take the lid off while fermenting to keep infection out, but you have to take the lid off to get a sample for the hydrometer right? is this just a risk...

i have another question, i was messing with the bottle capper that came with the kit and it does awesome with putting caps on the bottles that came with the kit, but when i put a cap on a beer bottle that i kept for a 12 pack.It has threads on it and the caps just screw off very easy, is that...

k, well if i can grab one for about $10 bucks that will be fine

my wife said the silverstone is a non stick lining

hi, i bought a mrbeer kit here while back and also decided to get the true brew 6.5 gallon kit. It arrived today and i was reading the instructions and it said i need a stainless steel or cermaic pot to boil the wort in. My wife wife says our pots are silverstone lining whatever that means...
