I was given a couple of small cans of Mr. Beer as part of a gift package. This isn't something I would normally seek out to brew but I have some empty carboys, so why not. It contains a bag of pre mixed goodies and a can of malt extract. Very simple boil and add mix, cool, ferment, prime, bottle. The recipe does not come with priming sugar, so the 1 1/4 teaspoon per 20 oz bottle to prime or 3/4 teaspoon per 12 oz bottles. Mixing it per bottle can cause some discrepancies in carbonation, might even get some explosions out of this one.
The Pale Ale and the Wheat Ale were used.
Bottled May 24th.
Notes: No explosions, some bottles opened with little carbonation and a few with thick foaming heads. Not my favorite beer but I still good enough to drink all of it. Can kits don't produce the flavor and body that you get from a mash or mini mash recipe.
