Changes (for the good) in mr beer instructions

[bpgreen]

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.
