Well I did my first batch of Mr. Beer which was an ale. Followed the instructions and let it ferment for 10 days. At about day 7 or 8 I saw the beer go from cloudy to see thru. Left it for an extra 2 days and then bottled. I am using the plastic 1 liter PET bottles that they gave to me. I...

In my opinion it does not matter. It will not hurt as long as the tube is the right type and properly steralized. But why add another element to the mix that is goign to cause you to have to clean more items and steralize more items????

Well I may experiment with a few bottles. My method is goign to be to get a small amount of water up to a boil and then add honey and a bit of corn sugar. Then I will add a small amoutn to a few bottles before addign my beer.

Yes it is interesting and I wonder if it has somehting to do with the type of beer. I am guessing more so than the type of beer it could be the fact that I used liquid yeast for the first time. IT worked well and took effect fast so I am not worried about that. Anotehr strange fact is...

I will let them sit longer not a problem. I was just concearned that stout might need more sugar for carbinaton or something like that. I used the coopers drops, 1 per bottle, on my wheat beer and it worked out perfect. Also the wheat beer I did with the drops and the ale I did with regular...

Ok let me start by sayign I am usign a Mr. Beer kit. I purcahsed the premium stout and made it as I would any. The only extra I added was a small amount 1.5 cups of cold brewed coffee. I also used the liquid stout made for yeast. I let it ferment for about 2.5 weeks. After this I bottled...

Sorry I forgot to mention I am usign a Mr. Beer kit. So I don't do any 2ndary fermetation. Goes from the main fermentor to the botttle.

Thanks that is good advice.

That is funny cause I think the coopers drops are actually made up os 70% white sugar or something like that.

Ok. I was wondering if anybody had every tried to use honey as a primer for bottle carbonation instead of sugar or sugar drops??? I purchased a small sampler pack of different honeys from Vermont and I wanted to try to see if the different honeys would impart different tastes to my beer...

Thanks everybody

It was stored at around 71F the entire time it was fermenting. So I don't see how it could have been too hot. Granted I realize the internal temperature would have been hotter if the outside room temp was 71 but I am guessign it only went up about 2F. My batch that is currently fermenting...

Ok It knot it sounds crazy but it is true. I thought at first it was just me but I have noticed that almost every time I crack open a home brew and have a few gulps I start getting a headache. I currently own a Mr. Beer kit. Please don't tell me how mr beer sucks cause tat is not the point...

Must tell you- I did as a half a orange worth of juice and I took zest from two oranges and added to the wort on my Mr. Beer. It came out great. I can definitly taste the orange in the beer but it is just right. Has a blue moon quality to it but it is different. It has a nice smooth feel to...

Don't knock the Mr. Beer- the recipe ok but not the product

I saw some crazy recipe on the Mr. Beer website where they were using a corn cob in the fermentor.

I have a Mr. Beer kit and I love it but I would like to make more. So I would like to start in with a good starter or intermidiate kit. I was looking to compare the options out there and whated to know what places to look at online. The only place I know of is...

Ok will do. I hate the wating game but hopefully it will be worth it. The beer I did tase was pretty good. Different taste to it but not bad in any way. I just think the carbination would make it taste a lot better.
