Such good beer! July 11, 2010 G. Dutton (Waterloo, NY United States) Not much to say. Its just great beer and so easy to make. Alot of fun and my family and friends love the beer.
EasyPeasy good domestic beer July 1, 2010 YooperMI Okay, this is the bare basic of the Mr. Beer mixes, but if you just want plain ol' beer without buying and playing around with Unhopped Malte Extract (UME) or fancy yeasts and hops--then you've got yourself 6 gallons of beer at the cheap Amazon price of 30 bucks (do the math, your paying $1.25 for a quart of beer--but you made it yourself!). It's typically free shipping at that price.
Here's some advise, follow the directions precisely, especially sanitization, but double the fermenting period to 2 weeks and the carbonation period to 2 weeks, store the bottles in your Mr Beer box during carbonation (or another closed box). After that, let them sit in the fridge for another 5-7 days (the longer the better). It will be just right and fizzy and clean. Don't add extra sugar to the wort, the "booster" is your sugar. It will turn out sweet & cider-like if you do.
If you never wanna buy domestic beer again, get another set of Mr Beer bottles (you can use soda bottles, but I just don't trust them).
Keep making beer and rotating your stock--you'll save money and no returnables!
If you ever get bored with your beer, there are literally thousands of different ways to experiment, but with this refill kit, regular old American beer is just fine with me!Mr. Beer 3-Beer Mix Variety Pack American Series
Watery Brew June 2, 2010 Shadowrider (NC) Have tried all 3 in the package. All are very similar. Watery, low alcohol, fizzy, will not maintain a head, goes flat within a minute. Very little flavor. Go buy the cheapest stuff in the grocery store, it tastes better and requires no effort on your part. NOT RECOMMENDED if you like beer.
Great beer, great value! February 19, 2010 A. Schrock (Campbell, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been brewing with the Mr. Beer keg for a couple months and I am very satisfied so far. Amazon.com is definitely the best place to get the refills because of the free super saver shipping and the 4 for 3 option could be good too. I read the other reviews before I made my purchase of the variety pack so I expected to get the Blonde Ale, Golden Lager, and the Linebacker dopplebock, which is exactly what I got! I received my beer mixes three days after ordering and the box and beer mixes are in great condition. They look new to me, and the cans of malt extract say use by 2012.
My first batch of Mr. Beer was the west coast pale ale which came with the brewing keg, and I used tap water filtered with a brita filter. This resulted in some off flavors, an "antiseptic" like flavor which went away after about 2 weeks of cold conditioning, and so I would recommend using store bought filtered water because it doesn't have the chlorine which will make your beer have off flavors.
I also recommend being creative and using some herbs like coriander and you can add honey which I am pretty excited about. I have bottled a batch of bewitched red ale with a can of pale malt extract, a cup of honey and a teaspoon of coriander, which could potentially bring the alcohol content to 7.2% and I think the coriander will add a nice spiciness. It might be a bit sweet, and in retrospect I think I should have added some more hops. I would definitely use the Mr. Beer extracts as a starting point, but I wouldn't stop with just the hopped malt extract and booster because it results in a pretty weak beer in my opinion.
Product Description is wrong! February 6, 2010 J. J. Luneau 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered this because the product description said it contained Octoberfest Vienna Lager, High Country Canadien Draft, and Whispering Wheat Weizenbier. It came with Classic American Blonde, Cowboy Golden Lager, Linebacker Doppel Bock. They need to get the product descriptions correct. It is too much trouble to send it back. I wish I had seen the previous review before I ordered.
