Doing some research and ran into this... BEERMKR - Automated Countertop Craft Beer Brewing For the person with unlimited budget I suppose.
If I drank more beer I could see getting it but for the price I'll stay with my budget beer maker.Doing some research and ran into this... BEERMKR - Automated Countertop Craft Beer Brewing For the person with unlimited budget I suppose.

Not brewing. But aging. My wife and I enjoy mixing up batches of bourbon, rum and tequila. Fun to do and the results are worth the wait

Good idea to tilt the barreal so the corks won't dry out.Not brewing. But aging. My wife and I enjoy mixing up batches of bourbon, rum and tequila. Fun to do and the results are worth the wait

Alcohol By Volume. It's just sugar.Hey Toolman Got my brewing kit today and the can I got what I need to do but what do I do with the 2 other packets can't find anything on the web site for them. It says it adds 1 percent ABV when added to the refill per package.
Still new to this so forgive my stupidity. View attachment 1715425284 View attachment 1715425285
Yes, the softpack adds extra sugar (dextrose?) for more alcohol. I usually get on their website and download the instructions. The online one is usually more current and complete. You can brew with or without the booster.Hey Toolman Got my brewing kit today and the can I got what I need to do but what do I do with the 2 other packets can't find anything on the web site for them.

So just don't add any sugar to my batch but just the 2 packets?Alcohol By Volume. It's just sugar.
I see TMM is here. I'll let him expound. He's way more knowledgeable than me.So just don't add any sugar to my batch but just the 2 packets?
So still add the amount of sugar it calls for on the can and add the booster I want?Yes, the softpack adds extra sugar (dextrose?) for mor alcohol.

Does it say what the abv will be without additional sugar. Too much alcohol can really kill flavors.So just don't add any sugar to my batch but just the 2 packets?

Last thing I want is to kill the flavor of the beer. Thanks BP.Does it say what the abv will be without additional sugar. Too much alcohol can really kill flavors.
Thanks Mike I want a good beer.It's up to you but I would just mix it without the booster. If I get a chance I will ask the group on Facebook about this. It looks like this is just a liquid malt extract brew and probably doesn't need the extra sugar/alcohol.
If you find this boring then you will understand why the Mr. Beer kits are so popular. Hydrometer Basics For Home Brewing And Wine Making | Quality Wine And Ale Supply | HomeBrewIt.com :: HomeBrewIt.comThanks Mike I want a good beer.
Would think reading the alcohol content makes a big difference in taste as well. To high or to low could loose flavor I'm guessing. All new to me but has been fun so far.If you find this boring then you will understand why the Mr. Beer kits are so popular.

Ashley from Mr Beer said to use it. It gives it the alcohol content equal to the beer that it mimics. Your choice. I bet it will be good whether or not you use it.Would think reading the alcohol content makes a big difference in taste as well. To high or to low could loose flavor I'm guessing.

I don't know much about the Mr Beer product but I assume you would never get the chance to measure the SG.Would think reading the alcohol content makes a big difference in taste as well. To high or to low could loose flavor I'm guessing. All new to me but has been fun so far.

First batch I made was real good and I don't care for a dark ale but was tasty.I don't know much about the Mr Beer product but I assume you would never get the chance to measure the SG.
