Procedures used were: - strict adherance to the sanitizing process - exclusive use of Spring Water (not tap) - fermenting temp. observed above 65 deg. F - minimum bottling temp. 70 deg. F - careful to use all the ingredients (spatula to get every drop from the canned contents) - use of exactly measured plain white sugar for bottling - fermenting and bottling gestation done in complete darkness - used the recommended 2 week interval between all 3 stages.
This is the first time to brew and unlike other reviewers, am no expert but enjoy drinking beer when watching my NFL football games.
The results:
3-Beer Mix Variety Pack American Series
- Classic American Blonde Ale - Being the first brew, the anticipation had me opening the 1st two bottles after 1 1/2 weeks of cold lagering. Clear golden color, good carbonation, good head retention, a tad sweet but extremely tasty. My favorite beer.
- Cowboy Golden Lager - Clear golden color, good carbonation, good head retention, pleasing bitterness w/ nice hoppy aroma. My second favorite beer.
- Bewitched Red Ale - Perfect deep color, good carbonation, excellent head retention, this is the best tasting of this American Series Pack. Enticing aroma and a smooth, tasty beer.
3-Beer Mix Variety Pack International Series
- Oktoberfest Vienna Lager - Dark Ale color, good carbonation, good head retention, almost no bitterness w/ full hoppy aroma (my wife's favorite). Easy drinking beer and my favorite of this series.
- High Country Canadian Draft - Clear golden color, good carbonation, good head retention, pleasing bitterness. Another tasty beer and my second favorite in this series.
- Whispering Wheat Weizenbier - Deep golden color, good carbonation, good head retention, caramel finish. Flavorful but the slight sweetness makes it not one of my favorites.
West Coast Pale Ale - Clear golden color, good carbonation, good head retention. Tastes in between the Classic American Blonde Ale and Cowboy Golden Lager. Weakest flavor among all the brews made but still tastier than light beer.
Preferring American style light (Coors, Bud, Miller) beer, the quality from all the Mr. Beer brews I've made are all tastier. Despite the low published alcohol content, the actual "hit" is very smooth. Don't know were some of the reviewers got their "watery" taste and no "head" opinions. More likely, these sub-standard results were due to their using less than ideal sanitazion conditions, using tap chlorinated water, and/or rushing the brewing process.
Got a lot of good tips from various online reviews, which minimized/eliminated mistakes. When one batch of beer is ready for bottling, reserve yourself 3 hours to bottle starting from a fully fermented keg, then re-clean, re-sanitize and have another brew batch inside the keg to start re-fermenting. My greatest advise would be to take your time in all aspects. It will result in a home made beer you can be proud off. Am using 3 fermenting kegs to get brewing into full production. Saving money is one thing, but drinking terrific tasting beer is the all-important consideration. My days of buying retail beer are history thanks to Mr. Beer and Amazon's great service.
Top reviews from other countries
The variety and potential for creativity on the Mr. Beer website is huge. They have a large selection of regular and premium refills in all the styles imaginable. They also offer seasonal refills that typically sit at 6.5% (Belgian Dubbel, German Hefeweizen, English Strong Ale, Imperial Pilsner)and they even offer a recipe book where they combine different HMEs with UMEs and other adjuncts to create some very interesting brews (they have over 60 recipes right now). Using the same set-up, you can even by cider refills in a variety of flavours and old-fashioned root beer! As I mentioned earlier, this kit really satisfies the beer connoisseur because of the immensity of flavours it can accommodate. The "ingredients" section allows you to buy single cans of HME/UME in whatever combination you want. They also sell hop pellets and yeast strains in a variety of flavours and styles. All this allows you to get closer to the "true" brewing experience as you gain comfortability with the system.
Another reason I love this kit is its size. The brew keg holds about 8L of beer (equivalent to 20-24 standard beers)and is small enough to fit in an apartment closet. You don't need to have an elaborate set-up or an entire room devoted to brewing. I actually like that it only makes a case of beer at a time. If you don't like a particular beer, you don't have to slog through 5-8 cases before you can brew another one. I bought two set of bottles, so I generally have a rotation of two different beers in the fridge at any given time. The beer itself is very good thus far (I have only tried the Cowboy Lager) with a high level of carbonation leading to a nice, lasting head. With the lager, I found that it was really two beers in one bottle. The top half was a lager with nice clarity and head. The bottom half was cloudy in appearance with a diminished head. Swirling does little to counteract this effect. Overall, I'd say the beer is on par with an MGD in terms of taste and appearance.
As for the price, you are generally looking at $20-$25 for nearly a case of beer, which puts it on par with lower end beers at the beer store. (Carling, Lucky Lager, Bohemian, etc.)I would say the quality of the beer, even the basic recipes, surpasses those beers. Plus, you get the thrill of making it yourself! All in all, I'd say it is a very good deal. Amazon has a few of the deluxe styles and recipes and they offer free shipping. The Mr. Beer website has far more product but the shipping to Canada can be a killer.
In the end, if you are looking to get into the home brewing hobby and/or you don't have much space or money, this is an excellent way to start. It is simple for beginners and the variety of beer styles allows you to grow with the kit as you learn. If you are creative with your taste in beer then you will love the Mr. Beer Home Brewing Kit.
I thought it was a great deal at $65 here on Amazon.ca, especially since it included two beer refill kits, which normally sell for almost $30 each. The normal Mr. Beer package includes only one beer kit. So, this is a bargain and for the cost of two refills, you get all the gear, plus the two beer kits, An excellent deal. You also get the brewing barrel, re-usable bottles. and some other items, such as the yeast, no-rinse cleanser/sanitizer, and carbonation drops. Full, easy to understand instructions are also included to guide you through the whole process from start to finish.
The keg is easy to put together, but one thing to watch is, when you attach the spigot. It takes a little bit of adjusting and testing to make sure nothing leaks out from where it sits against the keg. It takes a little bit of effort, but you can get it to where it doesn't leak fairly easily.
It's a good kit for beginners, but if you're a seasoned brewer, then this kit may not be for you, as it is only produces two gallons of beer at a time and the refills are very expensive, but if you buy malt extract at a local or online brewing shop, then it can be quite economical to produce small batches, and to experiment with various recipes, before committing to brewing full batches.
All in all, it's an excellent intro to brewing your own beer, or other beverage at home. It takes up very little space and once you get it going, it can be left alone for a couple of weeks to ferment, then bottle it, drop in the carbonation drops and let it bottle condition for another couple of weeks, chill and enjoy your own beer. There's nothing quite like enjoying the fruits of your labour. Have fun.
Overall, 3/5 - I was sort of happy with my purchase and did enjoy brewing, but I wasn't pleased with the finished product and think I'll just stick to buying my beer from now on.
Update: March 3, 2013
I have completed the second batch of beer that came with this kit. It was American classic and it was way better than the Cowboy Lager that also came in the package. Definitely worth the time/effort to make my own beer and I look forward to buying additional recipes to keep my home brewery going.
