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.

should work rather nicely... I believe the volume of water used in BD and MRB kits to be the same. yeast don't care what you ferment in as long as there is food and oxygen at the start. I did a BD HME/LME in a 2.5 gallon plastic beverage dispenser...(food grade) and it came out fine. next time though I will use safale or notty. I didn't care for the brewdemon dry yeast. you can even buy 5 gallon kits and split them in 2 lbks if you don't mind a little risk of blow out.

In fact, BrewDemon malts are the old Mr. Beer malts before Coopers bought MrB and they switched to Coopers malts (for obvious reasons).
