I am about to make a can of the Canadian blond that's been sitting around since the coof when I first bought my kit. I've used the barrel to make wine and meads just fine, but most of the time I use 1 gal glass carboys to make things. Small batches work out for me pretty well. After this, I think I will try making a proper beer from scratch, something easy. Does anyone have recommendations for a simple recipe?

I have even made cheap wine from just blending some grapes and other fruits and I make cheap wine.

I started with Munton and Fison (now calls "Muntons") kits. It's an all-in-one can that makes around 5 gallons. It came with 2 options in the instructions- use just the can for 6 6-packs, or add sugar for 10 six-packs. I would usually split the difference, add half the sugar, and make 2 cases. I never tried Mr. Beer, but when it came out, it seemed like a ripoff to me because the batch size is too small. Now I'm getting into real brewing, a lot more options, but also a lot more work and it can be a lot more expensive.

The 2 problems with extract brewing vs. all grain are that 1. You do the same amount of waiting for fermentation, but for a yield of only 2 gallons vs 5 or 10 (or more. Personally I find 5-10 to be the sweet spot). 2 (and most important). While you still do all that waiting, it's the FUN part of brewing that you skip. I enjoy bringing my strike water to temp, relaxing while I wait for the grain to mash, iodine testing it for starch conversion, the 60-90 minute boil after, the hop additions, smelling the wort as it evolves, watching the hot break, then the bubble and roll. I tried an extract kit once, and felt such a loss from not experiencing that I never looked back. Notice, I didn't say anything about quality. There are some people in the world who simply can't dedicate the time or space to brew all grain, and still put out some amazing product. I'm not going to put down what they do. But I'm certain that we grain people have more fun in the process!

I got started with a BrewDemon brew kit. 2.5 gallons. It was similar, around $100, but was the types of kits that had hop additions and proper yeast packets, even a decent conical fermenter. I still use the fermenter for when I make mead. From there, did the 5 gallon kits, then started making my own recipes and junk. There's a surprising number of 5 gallon kits out there, everything from stouts to IPAs to sours. Honestly, not a bad route to start out on. My thing is, they're not the greatest, but they're where a lot of us started. Without a few of those batches, I wouldn't have even known homebrewing existed, much less where to start. May not be where you end up, but don't knock the thing that got you through the door, you know?

Lack of time forced me out of all grain and back to extracts. I've been using Mr Beer hopped extract cans but with different yeasts, hop additions, and a sealed fermenter. And StarSan just to be on the safe side. One thing I found with the canned extracts, there is no need to heat them. Using room temp water takes only a little longer, but it eliminates the darkening and caramelizing effect.
@kevinfidler80743 жыл бұрын
Just noticed this video, Im also a lefty. I did extract for a few years before all grain, eventually I used to just buy 6 pound lme jugs, bulk hops and dry yeast and more or less make my own batches. The way you put cold water into that "fermenter" then the still hot wort is what I did with extract batches. Another trick I did was pour the hop sediment into the fermenter rather then trying to filter it out, it settles to the bottom with the yeast. Just leave that mess in the fermenter when you syphon the beer out, then rinse and clean the fermenter out later. Cheers!

She wouldn’t know a good beer if it hit her in the face. But she likes the canned beer kits, and she’s happy, the wife’s happy, and I’m happy. I’d say do one of the canned beer kits that does 5 gallons next, and try and make the same style all grain. Do that blind taste test. My number 1 tip for canned beer kits, don’t respect it. In fact, disrespect it. Sanitize, and you can’t mess it up. Thanks for the great video/quality/content as always 🍻

Would I recommend a mr. beer kit to prospective home brewers? Nope, if asked I direct them to a standard 5 gallon extract kit. But I don’t think it’s a horrible starting point for new brewers? Naw, it’s a very cheap introduction to the hobby. I started there and did multiple batches in that ecosystem with increasing complexity… I.e. they sell recipes with steeping grains and additional hop pellets. Of course, very pricey for the 2 gallons of beer you end up with, so I moved in to larger batches after a handful of mr beer batches, but I don’t regret starting there. Good vid and crossover.

A few years ago I along with my sister, brother in law and one of my best friends ventured to make a documentary concerning the Nebraska craft beer scene. We interviewed a Brewer who at that time owned a brewery in Lincoln (Nebraska’s capital). He worked for mr. Beer in the early days and he claimed that he had won several awards using mr. Beer ingredients. He also said that at one time he had 22(?) beers fermenting at the same time using their ingredients. His whole story was that the recipes were good recipes and all of the ingredients were sourced from Australia (?) and that as long as the ingredients were fresh you would be able to make pretty decent beer. That being said, how many people go to a garage sale and pick up a mr beer kit that has sat in that same garage for years and think that they are going to make great beer? Just a little tidbit of knowledge or maybe folklore from an independent, nano budget film maker in Nebraska. Btw the brewery was Ploughshare in Lincoln and the film is titled Prairie Pints.
