I followed the instructions and my beer didn’t come out right. It’s time-consuming and you have to wait weeks before your product is ready to drink. Half of my beer was flat, and that other half tasted like cider. I’m sure that some people are happy with this product, but I sure wasn’t one of them!

I bought this cause I thought it would be neat. The beer smelled great and you get to learn a lot about how beer is made. After a day of the beer being in the barrel I noticed a small leak by the spigot. You have to sanitize everything and I wasn’t sure what to put the beer in to retighten the spigot. Well, I got it all out and went to tighten it more and it broke. It also said in the book that you have to put sugar in the beer when you bottle it to carbonate it, which I thought was odd… but I never got that far. I thought this was an ok item and was a good starting point. I have since upgraded to a nicer system with Co2 cartridges for carbonation.

I made several batches of beer with a variety of mixes, waters and techniques. All resulting in a barely drinkable malt beverage (I refuse to use the term beer). Even though I changed up the mixes and used different recipes every batch tasted the same. Ben Franklin once said “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy”. The product produced by my Mr Beer was proof that the devil exists and he likes to play jokes on us.
