Your temp is fine. Yeast working like mad. Will probably ferment quickly like my hefeweizen do. Let it go for two weeks.

This is a book about brewing and how to. Brewing by definition is the making of beer by steeping grains, boiling malts, pitching yeast, etc. By definition Mr. Beer is brewing and not an illusion of brewing. It is not as involved as it can grow to be either. But none-the-less it is brewing by...

What then creates the non-illusion of brewing? Of course boxes of Mr. Beer and others are seen at Christmas. It is the time of year where purchases are many. Makes sense to me to stock shelves at various stores.

Let me reiterate, if one wants to attempt brewing beer then Mr Beer is one of their choices. Inexpensive, it is beer and ok for what it is. It is also for those that do not want to use mayo jars, buckets or the like that are around the house. Plus go get ingredients. It is delivered to your...

Unless one is will to spend $1000's on brewing apparatus! Mr. Beer lets one interested in brewing a beer an avenue to do so. It does so inexpensively by design. It comes in a box. It was never meant as premier kit that allows for gold medal brewing. But even with that said and both of my Mr...

Good point. The extract can be the base. Hmmmm....got me thinking now.

Second Mr. Beer Barvarian Weissbier bottled just a week. Yeah, my curiosity again. I think it is good with just a week conditioning. There is not much to not like about Mr. Beer. It makes beer. Outstanding gold winning beer? Not so much but I think it gets people into the hobby. Mission...

Five gallons Hefeweizen recipe from a local Homebrew store. I love the smell of boiling wort and steeping grains. My family not so much. They'll love to like it before long.

Can't really say I hate Mr. Beer. Bottled an American Porter one week ago. Out of my usual lack of patience I opened one. It is quite good. Even warm. Call me crazy.

Has anyone used powdered or confectioners sugar to carb?

Clean it well. Carry on.

My hefewiezen smell of banana. But before that smell it was something similar to a dumpster on a hot summer day.

Tasted a 6 days bottled of this Goose Island Sweet Porter. Quite good. Will only get better with time.

I love local brewers and support them as much as possible. Just great places to drink beer and meet people. Good luck with your business!

Most definitely sitting for another week plus.
