These beer kits are way too much work and the quality is rarely what you would hope for. Check out the Canadian Mister Beer Bottle Brew. It was invented by a German born Brewmaster, now living in Canada. It’s much easier and way better quality. Truly a premium beer kit for dummies. Read the reviews at their facebook page.
I have possibly an odd question. When you ferment the beer in the fermenter, theres carbonation going on, right? If you didn't add more sugar, too the bottles, would it still be somewhat carbonated, or would it be mostly flat?
@merddyn2002 hey i was fermenting in mr.beer kefggg but i didnt ut my lid on very tight kinda lose really and also befor fermentation had begun i opend the keg so am i srewed shood i dump this beer? also is there always gonna be little patricals in home beause there in the air? im freakin out please help me
@cber8860 it's hard for me to tell without seeing it first hand but easiest way to tell is to take a small sample taste of your batch. if it tastes off then it's likely contaminated. If not you're probably good to go. The lid doesn't have to be on tight, in fact they make the lid so that it's not air right so the CO2 can escape. My guess is you're probably good to go :)
@merddyn2002 thank you so very much iv been so worried i hate to have to dump 15 dollars down the drain and do u know if tahts true that air partrical hat u cant see get into any thing you brew or cook
@cber8860 ha.... wait till you have to dump a $100 batch down the drain. That will really make you cry. My mead batches cost between $100 and $150 depending on ingredients.
I'm afraid i don't understand "air particles". I mean i know there are particles in the air.... but if you're asking about floating particles in your beer from homebrew, yes. that will almost always be an issue. Best to let them settle and pour carefully so you don't stir up the sediment. I'm off to bed. gnight :)
@merddyn2002 lol darn 100 smackers huh. yeah like particals you seen when u shine a flash light in the air at night. Im saying dow do u keep em u cant seem u cant taste em but there there oh this homebrewing is givving a worrie headack
@eriklares90 Like he said, most of the CO2 goes out the air lock and most of the fermentation is done already. I think what you might be getting at is why there is a second step of adding the sugar. If you bottled it while it was still fermenting and bubbling, you could get a nice carbonated beer. Or you could get a flat beer. Or you could get a bottle bomb. You do the carbonation step separately so you can control the amount of carbonation.
@eriklares90 actually it would be flat because its allready fermented the sugar in the beer and thats why you add sugar when you bottle...i recommend using corn sugar (dextrose) regular sugar gives off an after taste
well, let me put it to ya this way.... i don't have any left to do a "this is how it turned out" video.... probably the best beer I've ever had, and i've had a lot of beers.

Thanks for the vid. I was wondering if I could use my wine sanitizer for this. I take it must work OK for this also. It seems much quicker.

Why are you touching your sanitized bottles? Doesn't that un-sanitize them? Where are your gloves! I hope you were wearing your hair net. Dang!

@eriklares90 mostly flat because all the co2 goes out the air lock.

I've bottled plastic and glass and they both taste the same. I like the plastic bottles because the yhold more beer...40 ounces.

Plastic sucks. To me, beer takes better in glass bottles.

Can you add the sugar straight into the big keg instead of each bottle seperately?
armeniantamara 2 years ago
best way if your gonna keg it is to put 85gms or 3oz into the keg then syphon the beer into the keg presuming you mean a 5gal keg.

merddyn2002 2 years ago
well what about sediment? was there alot of particles on the bottem of the final bottles?
kevjones93 2 years ago
always is in beer that's carbonated naturally in the bottle. You pour off the good beer and leave about 1/4 inch of sediment in the bottom.

@merddyn2002 any explosions at all using 2.5 tsp's?...just curious ..cheers

@kevjones93 Or you can drink it. Sediment won't hurt you, it's rich in B vitamins.
