I guess I am confused. Did you order from Mr. Beer or did you order from Amazon? Trying to tie your multiple threads together. If you order from Amazon, then you should be going to Amazon regarding any description that doesn't match what you receive, unless it specifically is sold by Mr. Beer on Am...

Me also. Brewed a bunch of beers a few months back, including an IPA that used several year old hops that smelled fine. However, they were not as aromatic as they would be newer, and the final beer's aroma isn't what I would like. Tough - because buying a pound is attractive until you don't use it f...

Mr. Beer is closed on weekends, probably closed since Weds.

And it continues...

I ended up ordering 2 Mr. Beer premium kit's to get started. Each come with 2 flavors, not sure which ones. I was going to order the LBK and bottles combo, but for the same price I got the kits. Going to my local homebrew store to get DME or LME also. I also ordered Brew Demon nut brown ale and har...

I follow 3-4. 3 weeks fermenting (but I really go 18 or 19 days, then cold crash), 4 weeks in the bottle (or more). 3 days in the frig is my minimum to allow for maximum CO2 absorption back into the beer.

For new brewers, 3-4 is what I recommend because it's simple and basically foolproof.

I like to keep an open mind, and not slam people for their ideas. However, if you brew a peppermint beer of any type, you should be denied future posting privileges. :blink: :whistle: :lol: To be fair, I would say that for a new member or even the most senior member. :jumpy: On a more serious note, ...

No, you can't say you make your own beer. It's illegal. If you say it, then the FBI will come arrest you. They will seize your beer for testing. You may be confused when it happens, because they will have names that seem similar to people on this forum. That's just a coincidence, it isn't forum memb...

As BP Green said, Brewdemon was founded by the old owner of Mr. Beer. Many of the HMEs are literally the old Mr. Beer HMEs with new names. Mr. Beers current HMEs are more like the Coopers HMEs if you have ever used those. Regardless of equipment, you can brew both kinds in whatever fermenter you bu...

My wife and I had my No Lightfoot Porter on Sunday, while playing the song. Here in Michigan, many note the anniversary.

Did you add anything with fat in it?

Good thing you didn't buy 21 fermenters...

You might buy some Grolsch to test how well you can cap the bottles considering your hand issues.

But then you have to drink the Grolsch...
