Fermented for 3 weeks. Used Texas Honey and Texas Springwater. I tried kegging with my 1 gallon Ukgeg for 1 week. The kegged beer needed more time to condition. I also bottled the other gallon and it came out pretty good! Bottle conditioned for four weeks. Used carbonation drops.

Had my first bottle of this liquid gold you call Surly Dog IPA. This is by far my best Mr. Beer recipe that I've made/drank. It was so smooth not overly hoppy great head retention throughout the entire glass great after taste and had a good bite given the over 8% abv. Probably one of the best IPA's I've ever tasted. Fermented for 3 weeks at 66 degrees. Conditioned for 4 weeks and let it sit in fridge for 3 days. I did the sugar drops for carbonation and was perfectly carbed. Cannot WAIT to brew this again!

I ordered this brew towards the beginning of the year when it was on sale. It was my first time bulk priming and second time using the addition of hops. Fermentation was 3 weeks in the keg and a month in the bottle. I had set aside some bottles to track how it was conditioning being that this was the first time I bulk primed instead of using carb drops. Everything had turned out smoothly and the beer tasted amazing. To my surprise it was nicely carbonated with good head retention and lacing. Honey was noticeable in the flavor and the rest of the beer was very smooth. Will do this one again.

This was my very first brewing experience and Mr Beer made it super easy. There are great videos online to help through the process and this recipe turned out terrific. The brewing process was very straightforward and clear. Just cook the malt extract and follow the directions. This kit includes a pack of hops that go right in the fermenter. There is just enough hoppiness for an IPA without being overstated or overpowering.We had a informal contest with a bunch of other Mr Beer recipes and this one was one of the best in fact in a very close count it was the winner. After this experience I've gone on to brew two more batches.
