The Year in Beer
This past Sunday marked a year since I’ve been brewing. I just want to tell you first and foremost it has been a great year. Homebrewing beer has been so rewarding for me on so many levels.
Danger IPA- Brew Day
Before I hopped off my Mr. Beer I’ve decide to make one more beer. I wanted to use their HME (what comes in the can) along with some additional hops. I picked up their Diablo IPA and 1/2 ounce of centennial hops. Here’s how I broke it down: 00:00 Boil at 205 degrees 00:00 add…
Time To Hop To It
After successful bottling of my Beta Brew I wanted to give Mr. Beer one more shot before I went onto bigger and better things.
Now it’s time to bottle
As I’ve mentioned before this blog is set up for more my purposes to document how I’ve brewed so this way I can use it as a reference. If you enjoy reading this…great. OK, let’s go: About an hour ago I tested the beer inside of my Mr. Beer kit (see entry here) and all…

What my first non-Mr Beer Brew will be
After thinking about a few things I believe I’ve made a decision on what my first batch of beer will be after my Beta Brew from my Mr. Beer Kit will be. I’m going to make some type of India Pale Ale (IPA) and here’s why: I love IPAs: There’s something about the scent, mouthfeel, and…
Where’s Mr Beer?
I have decided to call my first batch of beer “Beta Brew” since this really is a test to see how things work out. A very important item to keep in mind is temperature, especially when you are fermenting your beer. Since it’s Winter where I live my house would stay pretty cold. I took…
So what to write?
So here I am, sitting at my computer, creating a blog and thinking…what they hell do I write for my first post? In my About page I’ve already discussed my intentions. So I figured I’d jot down what started me on this brewing adventure. To put it simple, Mr. Beer. I have been drinking beer for…
