    Huckleberry Beer

    Made some Huckleberry Beer using the Classic American Light beer with Amoretti Artisan Huckleberry flavoring (@ 2oz to a 2 gallon batch). 1 oz of flavoring was added 4 days before bottling and another ounce was added 3 days before bottling. I made the beer for my wife after she consumed Huckleberry everything during a trip to Montana. And she liked it. I don't care for fruit in my beer but this came out quite good.

    Did not taste too bad

    Tried this out and I really enjoyed it. Brewing was simple and it was a great way to learn some of the steps of brewing. Had a lot of fun brewing this. Just tried a bottle of what I brewed and it didn’t taste too bad. Going to let condition for a few more weeks so it’s ready for the next holiday party. Can’t wait to see how it taste in a couple of weeks. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to try brewing for their first time.

    Fun and Tastes Great!

    I purchased a Mr Beer kit that included the Classic American Lite refill. The process was very easy simply follow the instructions. The hardest part was the wait!I let it ferment for 21 days bottled and left for another 21 days. Then I refrigerated and tried one after one week but it still tasted cidery. After 2 weeks it tasted fantastic! It felt a little heavier than commercial light beers but that doesn't bother meI will definitely be be doing this one again and probably adding additional hops to it.
