I posted recently about trying to ease back into brewing after my accident. I can't physically handle a 5 gallon batch, and i think trying to do all grain or even extract with hop boil is beyond my current mental capacity.
I bought a pinter to do a 1.5 gallon batch in a ferment- carbonate- serve all in one container. I'm actually drinking one of those now. I also started the second batch in an LBK. Then i ordered a Mr beer refill on Amazon. I may brew it as an extra strong 1.5 gallon batch.
The instructions are on the inside of the label, but I couldn't manage to get it off in a way that left tube instructions readable, so i googled and found the instructions on the Mr beer site. They now recommend 14-21 days in the LBK followed by 14-21 days in the bottle before refrigerating. We've been preaching that for years!
Oh. And before I even got that far, I noticed that the yeast package said 5g! I could swear that used to use 2g.
I think these are long term good moves on their part, because their customers will be getting better beer, so they may be now likely to return.
Changes (for the good) in mr beer instructions
Yes BrewDemon and Mr. Beer kits are pretty darn easy but sometime you need a little help from the Borg to get you on the right track. Post your questions here!
