will do. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the quick response. interesting hobby. I went back and checked my calendar to see what I did on these and found where I brewed them on March 2nd, bottled on March 16th. tried the first one on March 30th taste about the same as the ones I put into the fridge yeasterday and tasting...

I let it ferment for 2.5 weeks, carbonate for 3 plus weeks to let the yeast eat up the sugars and some of the sweetness with it..Its a Mr Beer extract. Its like my yeast didnt eat enough of the malt or something. has a slight syrup type taste. still drinks well ans has a kick.

Yeah I'm going to trash it. I have all the toys including the carboy. Just thought I would try the small batch in my old Mr Beer as I had a 5 gallon batch planned and didnt want to tie up my 5 gallon stuff.

GMAO saving lives here!

yeah actually It was a 1 gallon batch kit partial grains and extract from my local brewer supply. I used the Mr Beer fermenter instead of my 6 gallon unit.

looks much better now smells good!

I used one step on the sanitizer

for about a week and a half.

there is no way this wasn't clean. Im borderline OCD on the sterilization
