Could you use this with a "Mr Beer" brewing kit? (looking for gift purchase) This person has the Mr Beer kit and plenty of bottles, sanitizer...

Yes. If you understand the mechanics of brewing beer then it is possible to use any beer ingredient kit.

Yes I believe you can place a prepackaged pint in it. I can test it out in a few days for you to be sure :-)

I'm not sure about the brewmasyets kit. The Premium Gold comes with ingredients for two batches, keg, and bottles. Easy to do with great instructions

No. You need to provide the fermenting bucket, sanitizer, bottles,siphon, etc. This kit includes the juice, yeast, stabilizer, corks, labels, etc.

Hi Michael, we used the Maestro Home Brewmaking Kit. Just make sure to sanitize the bucket really well before adding the mixture.

To be honest, my son hasn't been able to use it as we don't have the brewing pot and other items my son needs first. I would think this would have to be chilled though, sorry I can't be more helpful but since its not really a complete kit like I thought it was, it just sits in the closet until we can get everything else he needs.

this "kit" is basically just a 6 gallon fermenting bucket some bottles and a premeasured "no boil" malt extract that you mix with 6 gallons of water to make a predetermined amount of beer....6 gallons. you would need other equipment to ferment only 2 gallons...you will find that as long as it takes to complete....the more the better(I guess you could only bottle 2 of the 6 gallons ....but why waste the other 4)

No, it is not a complete kit for the entire process. This is just the ingredients for a batch of beer. This does not include the pot, the bottles, the fermentation container, etc. However, if they are already brewing they should already have those items and the bottles are reusable (as long as they are pop tops, not twist offs).

You might try a brewing supply store. I know the distributor we use for this product does not offer that as an option for purchase. Bill Wright Treyco

You possibly may be able to use the kit to make smaller amounts but I wouldn't try it the kits a designated for 6 gallons. you possibly might try dividing everything in half I simply don't know how that's going to work out. with use of Yeast and other aspects of the recipe good luck

I don't know whether there's a "right" answer to that question. I suggest trying it alone first and see how you feel about the results. I have not seen a need to combine Bu's Brew with any other product, so I have no empirical basis for my suggestion.

yes. the beer is to enhance moisture content ... try apple juice with a bit of liquid smoke in it.

You will need a bottle capper (about $15-$20 online), empty bottles (you can sanitize used ones any number of ways), bottle caps (often a few bucks per pound at any beer supply store), and a little bit of honey (part of the bottling process of most recipes). I got my capper at Midwest Supplies ($12 plus shipping). You can get caps there too ($5 per gross). I got caps at a local supply store and paid $2 for about a half pound and no shipping. Other than the caps, you can reuse everything.

I am pretty sure with the NB kit all your equipment needs will be covered, maybe even better than the BBS kit .. This Chocolate Maple Porter was one of the favorite kits I brewed before moving on to 5 gallon all grain recipes and I am planning on brewing a big batch this fall - just make sure it is fresh, old ingredients don't make good beer - and make sure the yeast is still viable, maybe make a small starter before you start brewing and if it isn't alive get some new style-compatible yeast from your local homebrew store (or amazon).

I've never used Mr. Beer. What I do know is that you just put your fermented beer into it along with some extra fermentation sugar so that it can carbonate after being sealed. Then when ready to use, you attach the CO2 cartridge so that it forces the beer into the tube for serving.

Yes in fact the directions are for the Mr. Beer keg. I use a beer 2000 style keg which is very similar to the Mr. Beer keg. Be patient with rhe yeast it is fragile and unlike most beer recipes you do not stir it into the batch
