I got two refill kits for mr beer from someone and a bunch of brewmax booster packages. the refills are just past use by date (one by 2 months, one by a month). the brewmax booster packages are white and also some gold color, both have the same ingredients. a few are hard so I dont know if they are ...

should you stir wort after adding dry yeast or just sprinkle on top? does it make a difference?

Awesome thanks. I probably never noticed in the Mr beer fermenter but this one is clear so it stood out. Thanks

On my first batch the yeast immediately fell to bottom of fermenter. It did ferment and I just bottled. Started another batch and same thing. I don’t recall seeing the yeast settle like that when I made some a few years ago seems strange. I guess if it ferments then it doesn’t matter but thought I w...

not sure if this has been asked or not, I didn't find anything on it. how would you go about splitting a five gallon kit between two brewdemon fermenters?

I like the look of that clear conical. Six gallon sounds intriguing also.

I did hit og of 1.044 that is why I was wondering about the 1.010 reading.

I brewed a patriot lager with 1 lb lme and 1/4 cup honey. og was 1.044. I checked fg just now (will be 3 weeks fermenting tomorrow) and I got a reading of 1.010. I pretty much was following the dad's cream ale recipe from mr beer but used lme from the local shop and only 1/4 cup honey vice 1/2 cup h...

thank you sir. I may still use the munton's in one batch for a comparison but I am not sure at the moment.

I am going to be splitting a five gallon batch between two lbk's. I will be doing different lme's in each lbk. can I split a safale us-05 11.5 g packet of yeast between the two lbk's? It is a muntons hme and I have read that the yeast with that is not the best. I thought about trying their yeast in ...

wondering how this would work out: buy a cult classic american ale refill (not the kit, just the hme) and add 1 lb lme and ferment in mr beer lbk. I want to try the brewdemon kits but don't want to buy another fermenter since I have the lbk's already.

So I got the mr beer kit for christmas (like a lot of others I think) and have since acquired a second lbk and both are fermenting away. I have also gotten more bottles, refill kits, and misc. brew utensils (hydrometer, autosiphon etc). After ordering the second lbk and some bottles, Mr Beer decides...

currently 68-72 until i can talk the wife into getting me a fridge or freezer and controller to make a fermentation chamber.

any suggestions on what yeast to use?
