hello all. so mr. beer arrived at my house yesterday and i made a batch and now it is fermenting or whatever. i really like how the keg looks. it is brown and shaped like a barrel. its really cool lookin' my question is, is "mr. beer" a good product? i know absolutely nothing about brewing.

i remember watching a dcoumentary about the prohibition era... and when people made home brew alcohol this was considered dangerous. it said that many people died and some went blind due to the homebrew.

im thinking after about 20 more batches minimum until i will allow myself to move on and graduate from mr. beer. im sure i will learn a thing or two within the 20 batches. good luck on the article

i take this back this beer is awesome. i probably said this because i opened up a new bottle of beer without refrigerating it first. i am drinking a cold canadian right now one that i chilled for a couple of hours and it tastes awesome.

i know its a little too early for this but one thing that brewing does is that it causes 'us' to think ahead of time. and i think that is a good thing. that is one of the positive things about this hobby. so what do you have planned for new years? i am sure you are going to allow for...

subject: sanitizer what exactly is the sanitizer stuff... i mean that stuff is awesome. i sanitized a rusty can opener it looked really old and dirty but when it came it, it was sparkling silver with all the rust and stuff gone. that stuff is awesome.

from what i understand mr. beer stuff is at the bottom. so i guess i should "modify" the ingredients a bit. i saw some stuff on their website where they sell different types of yeast and hops and even fruits. so im not totally giving up on mr. beer.

pipeline. haha. i like that. do you have any experience with mr. beer mixes? do all mr. beer mixes like the canadian draft i was talking about tastes horrible?

yeah i used white sugar. and the sugar made my beer very very foamy. but concerning the "conditioning"... i started counting my "conditioning" at day 8 after the beer was bottled. so for example day 8 would refer to conditioning day 1. i didn't refrigerate the beer bottles or anything...

like two weeks. i have no problem with the carbonation or anything... its just the taste of it... it tastes "dead" compared to some of the fancy stuff they sell at the liquor store. but yeah... it tastes like apple juice... except apple juice has more flavor... waaay more flavor...

subject: canadian draft (mr. beer) ok is there a way to put more life in this dead-tasting beer called "canadian draft"? it came standard with my premium beer kit and it tastes dead. another question... are all mr. beer mixes dead like this crap canadian draft? cause that stuff is horrible...

so foam is a sign of being underfermented?

my beer is super duper foamy. like when i pour some beer in a glass it only takes like me to fill the glass 1/10 th of the way up to have a full glass of foam. or maybe it is too foamy because i need to condition my beer longer? i tried this out on a premature carbonated beer that i drank at...

omg i can't believe this i am drinking my very first beer that i made. this has far exceeded my expectations. the beer tastes way better than the usual old english and mickeys i usually buy i am very impressed with mr. beer.

any good brewing books out there? i need something to read while i do a number two

so i have these 12 oz. guinness beer bottles that would be absolutely perfect for storing beer. but the problem is that the tops have to be open with a can opener and therefore are therefore "disposable" because the tops can't be put back in place. im sure there is a way to recan these...

say you cracked open a budweiser and left it sitting on the counter for days until the carbonation died out... can you bring the now flat budweiser back to life by re-carbonating it?

whats the purpose of those airlocks on top of those apple juice containers? why not just seal off all air by closing the lid with the screw on cap that came with the juice container? and are those airlocks really air tight? i mean you drilled a hole at the top of the apple juice...
