I got a Mr Beer over a decade ago and it sent me down the rabbit hole to a great and rewarding hobby.

[@TheBruSho]

Best hobby ever! As long as you got started that’s all that matters

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Love this collab, watching both videos back to backright now. I feel like kveik should be in every beginner kit!

[@TheBruSho]

Haha it was a ton of fun to do this with CH! And agreed kveik is the ultimate yeast hack!

[@suzannemalin7397]

Excellent…what a great idea to use a kit in order to dip your toe into the world of beer making. Essentially you’re helping all the people who’ll be getting a beer kit this holiday season…..All they have to do is zhuzz it up.

[@TheBruSho]

Hahah for sure! Just a little TLC can make it not bad!

Started brewing several months ago, I've done 4 Brewers Best 5 gal kits, all turned out good, I've got two 5 gallon all grain batches in various stages, (inspired by Brusho's "beginner's guide to BIAB" video - a wheat with cherry extract added on secondary fermentation (bottled yesterday) and a light pilsner with flaked corn filler inspired by Brusho's how to brew American Light lager (brewed yesterday) excited to taste my first beer without training wheels! (aka ingredient kits)

[@TheBruSho]

Amazing! Love to hear that keep it up!! 🍻

[@coreyschatz1367]

Big thanks to you for this video! I did this and loved it. Now I'm obsessed with brewing.

[@zachschmucker478]

Loved this video. Really great idea!

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks man! Let me know if you brew it!

[@joshuapinter]

Great collab. Big fan of both of your channels. Such different styles and yet both great in your own ways. Nicely done!

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks so much! It was a lot of fun to work with CH and get his thoughts and see how he works. Will definitely be down to do another collab again!

[@crabmansteve6844]

I skipped extracts entirely, went feet first into all grain. I learned quickly why extract brewing is so popular, all grain can be a headache, but I'm glad I did it anyway. All my troubles taught me a lot VERY quickly.

[@lordgigglesnort3845]

Thanks! I just got this kit and ill give it a shot using the advice in this video.

[@lordgigglesnort3845]

So I noticed you didn't wait that long to bottle. Should I be looking to bottle after 4-5 days with the way you are making the beer? the package came with 5g of yeast, I did 5.5g

[@Handles-R-Lame]

​@@lordgigglesnort3845he didnt bottle tho? He kegged the beer. And only after the hydrometer read that the sugars have been mostly used up.

[@lordgigglesnort3845]

@@Handles-R-Lame sure in my case however I bottled and it turned out fine.

[@TheStuartGibson]

For my experience, this is the most relevant video for me, I'm a very new brewer, only been brewing for 6 months but have brewed a lot and learnt so much. This video is what I have been doing adding kveik yeast as my house is pretty warm, hops for better flavour and speciality grains for mouth feel. Awesome video guys

[@TheBruSho]

Nice glad to hear your having success, Keep on brewing!

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Rad collab!!! Got my first Mr Beer kit about 11 years ago, I still remember that batch, came out decent but was a far cry from how I brew now:)

[@TheBruSho]

Nice a fellow Mr Beer starter! They obviously are doing something right

[@patrickcortright]

That was fun to watch. Time to head over to Homebrew 4 Life for a different perspective.

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks, cheers! 🍺

[@jim-f69]

Great video! The Mr. Beer partial mash recipes are pretty good. Do a video on one of them next and you might be surprised🍻

[@squirtlesquad1178]

I’ve started brewing 6 months ago and I’ve been using extract kits from Northern Brewer. Even though it’s extract kits I’ve been making, it still tastes better than any other beer I’ve had!

[@TheBruSho]

That’s great, you obviously got a good understanding on the process! Nothing like homemade

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

that's a good story braj!

[@nickstudlangel]

What a great collab! Love both shows, lets go baby!

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks, cheers man!

[@PortlyGentleman]

Looks like a lot of fun

[@TheBruSho]

Next time you are gonna brew an extract kit on your system! Haha

[@alvaradobrewhouse6387]

Loving the collabs Trent! I started with a Northern Brewer Kit and although it came out really malty, I still drank it and it lit the fire for me to brew more beer. Good stuff my dude...

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks man! Yeah it did the same for me, I guess that starter kits are worth something!

[@rachelmalin8851]

Great video & absolutely loved this collab!!! 🍺

[@TheBruSho]

Thank you so much!!

[@bobbob-ze9zo]

Now you can get extract most anywhere and do not need Mr. beer brand, but the kit is great for just starting out .

[@Soupy_loopy]

Seriously though, sometimes I see geese flying one way, then 10 minutes later they're flying back the other way. It's amazing they can travel so far when they seem to forget which way to go all the time.

[@kkuster1]

I've used Citra and find it quite bitter and overpowering for something that light. I'd go with Saaz to start or Willamette.

[@roarbot15]

What adapter did you use from the keg spout to your wand?

[@TheBruSho]

Just a small piece of tubing. I forget the inner diameter but just the stock stuff they give you at a Homebrew store

[@baijokull]

My first beer was "The Beer Machine 2000" which looks like a slightly fancier version of that Mr. Beer kit. I found it in my dad's garage, only catch is it expired 8 years before that. I still did it and the beer I made ended up pretty much undrinkable. But it was enough to spark my interest in brewing. I was scared to try making beer again for a while so I made some mead and ciders, then got back into beermaking. Not sure I know where this will end since continuously upgrading equipment is so addictive. Already making mead, cider, beer, moonshine and gin.

[@TheBruSho]

Glad you stuck with brewing in some form! It is definitely a rewarding hobby! Cheers

[@AJofBabel]

question Trent, what are some things I could add to porter bet kit to raise abv and add taste?

[@TheBruSho]

Kind of depends on what kit you have. Easy way to up ABV is dry malt extract. And for flavor you can get more unique, deep flavors from specialty grains. Just experiment and make note for next time you brew!

[@justinerickson5486]

I was wondering if you could transfer a Mr. Brew kit to a wooden barrel for 2nd fermentation/dispensing, instead of a keg or bottles?

[@TheBruSho]

Sure you could. I would think you’d have flat beer though. I would transfer to a keg after some aging in a wooden barrel

[@justinerickson5486]

@@TheBruSho thanks. I'm putting together a small l, pirate themed bar in my house. I thought the wooden barrel would add a nice aesthetic. But wasn't sure how it would affect my brew.

[@TheBruSho]

@@justinerickson5486 sounds dope! Love a good themed bar

[@MikeP350]

I kind of miss doing extract beers. Haven't done one in many years. My first beers were partial boil extract beer kits, fermented in the closet at 80+ degrees. Mmmmm fussel alcohols and diacetyl.... a watched pot never boils but the second you step away it boils over every time lol

[@TheBruSho]

Haha yeah it was a fun trip down memory lane. But glad I have learned a lot since those days

[@lordgigglesnort3845]

So I noticed you didn't wait that long to bottle. Should I be looking to bottle after 4-5 days with the way you are making the beer? the package came with 5g of yeast, I did 5.5g of the kvike

[@TheBruSho]

Depends on if your brew is done fermenting. Kveik can ferment warm and quickly so that’s why the 4-5 days worked for me. Just be sure it’s completely done fermenting before moving on to bottling.

[@lordgigglesnort3845]

@@TheBruSho Alright, that would explain why the package being a lower temp yeast would maybe go a bit slower.

[@lordgigglesnort3845]

@@TheBruSho Yeast has dropped, I did a taste test and can definitely taste the bitters. It's been about 4.5 days. Ill bottle tonight

[@NikitaVorontsov]

Fantastic collab :)

[@TheBruSho]

Thank you so much! 🍺

[@PartyTimeBrewing]

The collabs are great. What kind of fancy growler did you transport with and do you recommend? Cheers!

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks! I have the Growlerworks UKeg and I love it! I talked about it in my Tool Time episode last week, it’s great!

[@bladeprime8426]

how about raw sugar instead of refined white sugar?

[@23432]

Just a thought, Mr.Beer discourages boiling HME as it can create off flavors.

[@bobbob-ze9zo]

Extract beer can always be made better with good hops and yeast. Gone are the days I used to raid my wife's baking cupboard. Extract brewer since 1995.

[@TheBruSho]

Makes a big difference! Glad to know there are extract brewers out there that are making great beer

F%$& today the deja Vu is real, watched it first with the braj boys. Love the collaboration boys!

[@TheBruSho]

Haha thanks man! You are not seeing double!

[@deckerhand12]

They don’t use lager yeast they use ale yeast for everything.

[@TheBruSho]

Good to know, thank you!

[@TheAlchemistsBrewery]

Always buy and use good yeast. Always use a fermentation chamber and control the fermentation temperature.

[@TheBruSho]

Yup those make big differences

[@fdk7014]

I did a Coopers kit a couple of years ago. I followed the instructions to a tee but it came out as a horrible cidery mess. Completely undrinkable.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

haha!

[@TheBruSho]

Yeah I think their instructions need some work. Too bad you couldn't have watched this video first!
