Okay, this is the bare basic of the Mr. Beer mixes, but if you just want plain ol' beer without buying and playing around with Unhopped Malte Extract (UME) or fancy yeasts and hops--then you've got yourself 6 gallons of beer at the cheap Amazon price of 30 bucks (do the math, your paying $1.25 for a quart of beer--but you made it yourself!). It's typically free shipping at that price.
Here's some advise, follow the directions precisely, especially sanitization, but double the fermenting period to 2 weeks and the carbonation period to 2 weeks, store the bottles in your Mr Beer box during carbonation (or another closed box). After that, let them sit in the fridge for another 5-7 days (the longer the better). It will be just right and fizzy and clean. Don't add extra sugar to the wort, the "booster" is your sugar. It will turn out sweet & cider-like if you do.
If you never wanna buy domestic beer again, get another set of Mr Beer bottles (you can use soda bottles, but I just don't trust them).
Keep making beer and rotating your stock--you'll save money and no returnables!
If you ever get bored with your beer, there are literally thousands of different ways to experiment, but with this refill kit, regular old American beer is just fine with me!Mr. Beer 3-Beer Mix Variety Pack American Series
