## Description

Mr. Beer 60951 American Lager Beer Refill Kit, 2 Gallons

Review: Oktoberfest kit was fresh, yeast performed well, the extract was tasty, and I ended up with a great brew. - Ordered 3/12/2015 and was promptly shipped and was very fresh. The expire date was 1 year and several months out. This was my 4th Mr Beer brew and my best so far. This kit does a great job, no issues and I will be buying again soon I'm sure. Modifications - I wanted a little more ABV so I added an additional 1lb 2.4 oz Briess Amber LME (I was shooting for 1lb) and also added 1oz Hallertau hops to balance the additional malt. I used a glass carboy instead of the Mr. Beer keg since I had a carboy available. Recipe - I brought ~1.5 gallons of spring water to a boil, added the 1 lb 2.4 oz Amber Briess LME and the hops, boiled for 20 minutes. Burner off. Added the Mr Beer hopped extract, cooled in ice bath. Added spring water to about 2+ gallons for an OG of 1.054. I aerated the wort (shook the glass carboy for several minutes) and pitched the dry Mr. beer yeast. Fermentation took off within 8 hrs, the yeast did a great job and active fermentation tapered off within 5 days. I left it in the carboy for 4 weeks to finish. FG was 1.007, which is ~87% attenuation and ABV ~6.3%. I kegged straight to a corney keg, and forced carbonated. Taste- Malty and smooth, great head that sticks around. Nice finish and good ABV level. Additional thoughts - Mind your sanitation, I'd recommend getting some Star San and use as directed. Oktoberfest technically is a lager recipe but this kit is intended to be fermented at ale temperatures and does so very well. I would recommend keeping the fermentation temp on the low end ~68. My first few batches fermented warmer than ideal and you could tell. Also, do not be in a hurry! Let this sit for a few weeks at least. Dark ales should be 3-4 weeks. Green beer is not good! Summary - This kit was fresh, yeast performed well, the extract was tasty, and I ended up with a great brew. Will buy again! Update - That 2 gallons did not go far, the keg kicked tonight. :o( That was a really nice brew. I already have my next brew lined up but I'm very tempted to jump on the Mr. Beer website's 30% off sale and grab some for some double batches... that sale is going on for a few more days. (I gave in - double batches of Oktoberfest, Voodoo, and Dark Forest Stout are on the way :o)
Review: Delicious tasting beer. - I've had a Mr Beer kit for several years, and was very pleased with the Irish Stout refill. I took the beer to my local fermenters/homebrewers club, and everyone said it tasted good. It's an easy way to brew your own beer, while you're learning the ins and outs of homebrewing. There's one bottle left, and when that's gone I'll be getting ready for my next batch. I look forward to enjoying my next batch.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the refill kits come with new lids for the bottles?**
A: No sorry. mine didn't even come with the sanitizer. I was mad at that.

**Q: How do i get the lid off? do i just open from the bottom or do i need to get the top lid off?**
A: The lids on the HME are notoriously difficult to open. You must basically pry it off. Under that plastic lid is the yeast packet. If you don't have yeast to brew with, then you will need to get it off. Try using a screwdriver as a pry bar.

**Q: This is a lager, bottom yeast. How do you add the yeast to the mix?**
A: From the instructions in the Mr. Beer booklet:Take 6 cups of cold water and bring it to a boil in a saucepan.Add the Mr. Beer mix from the can and stir well (It usually works best for me if I get tap water as hot as it will get and soak the whole can in the water for 10-15 minutes to liquefy the contents of the can). The mixture of water and the can is called the "wort."Fill the Mr. Beer plastic barrel with 4 quarts of cold water (the yellow color of the barrel will not allow ultraviolet light into the beer which would kill the yeast).Add the wort to the barrel slowly and stir contents to mix.Sprinkle the yeast on the surface of the mixture in the barrel for 10 minutes. It will foam-up. Stir the yeast into the mixture (I use only a wooden spoon for the beer).Take the plastic pressure relief apparatus and fill it to 3/4 inch of water, place the floating cap over the center stem and snap the cover over the valve, then insert the tube for the valve into the screw-on top.Screw the top on and place the barrel where there is a minimum of light (I usually take a black bath towel and wrap it around the barrel)I usually stir the contents of the barrel daily to keep the yeast floating in the suspension.If you want the beer to be of a higher alcohol content then when you stir the beer, add two teaspoons of sugar (no need to stir because the yeast grabs it immediately and the mixture will foam-up) and quickly screw the top back on the barrel.Leave the mixture to brew for two weeks then bottle the beer.When you bottle the beer, add one teaspoon of sugar to each bottle before adding beer. This "cures" the batch and adds carbonation. I've found that you have to be careful of filling the plastic beer bottles beyond the beginning of the upper stem. If you put too much beer in the bottle, the carbonation and curing process will pop the bottom of the bottles out so they won't sit up by themselves in the fridge. Place the beer bottles in the box they came in and close the box.Allow the beer to sit in the cardboard box for the bottles for two weeks in a cool, dry and dimly lit room.Place the beer bottles in a refrigerator that gets at least 34 degrees F and leave for another two weeks.After two weeks, drink the beer and enjoy!I read an answer below that you mix the yeast into the wert while it's boiling: DON'T DO THAT OR YOU WILL KILL THE YEAST AND YOUR BEER WILL BE FLAT! The temperature of the mixture (in the barrel after you add the wert to 4 quarts of cold water) should not exceed 109 degrees F!!My grandfather immigrated from Bavaria and his family made beer for over 600 years. He taught me everything there is to know about making beer. I was originally going to mix my own wort from his recipe but found the Cooper's Mr. Beer mixture had the exact same ingredients in it that my grandfather used and it was a lot cheaper to do the whole bit in a Mr. Beer to make his Weissbier. I hope this was helpful.

**Q: Can i skip fermenting , and make NA beer (non alcoholic)**
A: Can you? Sure but to be honest it would be flat and not tatse like beer.
